Legal fees can be structured in various ways, including:
- Hourly Rates: Clients are billed per hour of work performed by attorneys. - Flat Fees: A predetermined fee for specific services, such as filing a patent. - Retainer Fees: An upfront fee paid to secure a lawyer's services, often used for ongoing legal support. - Contingency Fees: The lawyer is paid a percentage of any settlement or award, commonly used in litigation cases.
