If the case is complicated, has a large value and you choose a Lawyer with a lot of experience and reputation, the consultancy service fee will be higher.
Depending on your specific agreement with that Lawyer, the amount you will pay can be calculated in one of the following ways:
a) Hourly legal consultancy service fee
According to this calculation, you will pay the service fee according to a fixed unit price for each hour the Lawyer works. For example, you need a Lawyer to consult for 02 hours on a property dispute with a unit price of 500,000 VND per hour. Normally, this form is chosen if you only need to meet a Lawyer for advice on a specific question.
b) Full package legal consultancy service fee

b) Legal consultancy service fee calculated as a percentage of the case value
According to this calculation, you will pay the Lawyer a certain percentage of the case value, contract value or project value that you hire the Lawyer to do. For example, you and the Lawyer agree on a service fee of 2% of the value of the disputed land use rights.
c) Fixed monthly legal consulting service fee
According to this method, you will pay a fixed monthly fee to the Lawyer for the Lawyer to advise and perform regular legal services for you. This form is often applied if you hire a private Lawyer for yourself, your family or your business.
