What legal fees should I expect? Can I also negotiate a cost agreement with the lawyer?

Unless otherwise agreed, the lawyer's fees are based on the German Lawyers' Fees Act (Rechtsanwaltsvergütungsgesetz). The amount then depends on the value of your request and the individual measures that your lawyer has to take. In many cases, it makes sense to agree a fee with your lawyer, for example to save costs. We will be happy to discuss which type of remuneration makes economic sense with you during the initial consultation.
