Reward
The lawyer’s fee is regulated by § 24 et seq. of Act No. 586/2003 Coll. on advocacy, in such a way that an advocate provides legal services for a fee and has the right to demand a reasonable advance payment for them. The lawyer is also entitled to reimbursement of expenses and compensation for loss of time. Expenses reasonably and demonstrably incurred in connection with the provision of legal services, in particular court and other fees, travel and telecommunications expenses and expenses for expert reports, translations, transcripts or extracts from public registers, shall be regarded as out-of-pocket expenses.
The lawyer’s remuneration shall be a matter for agreement between the lawyer and the client, but in the absence of such agreement the lawyer shall be entitled to a tariff fee. The remuneration is regulated in more detail by the Decree of the Ministry of Justice of the Slovak Republic No. 655/2004 Coll. on remuneration and compensation of advocates for the provision of legal services.
The contractual remuneration is:
– Hourly fee – the lawyer agrees with the client on a fixed amount for each hour spent on the client’s legal case
– Flat fee – the attorney has an agreed fee for the entire act or a specific period of time
– Fractional fee – the lawyer has an agreed fee as a proportion of the value of the case
