Under the Law of Ukraine “On the Bar and Practice of Law” No. 5076-VI of 5 July 2012 and the Rules of Advocate Ethics approved by the Reporting and Election Congress of Advocates of Ukraine on 9 June 2017, “the procedure for calculating the fee (fixed amount, hourly payment), the grounds for changing the amount of the fee, the procedure for its payment, the conditions of its return, etc. are specified in the legal aid agreement. The pricing policy takes into account the complexity of the case, the qualifications, experience and workload of the attorney and other circumstances”. For the optimum balance between the financial interests of clients and the required volume of WinnerLex resources involved, our pricing for legal services provides for different payment systems: hourly, fixed, court advocacy and legal service subscription. Moreover, different payment systems may be used in relations with a particular client and even within the same project.
Therefore, to meet the financial interests of clients and depending on the specifics of a particular service, we use the following payment systems.
Our experience of supporting clients shows that the ability to work towards results, personalized and full participation of responsible partners and advisers in each project, an active and productive position in defending the client's interests combined with a reasonable approach to pricing contribute most to the overall strengthening of business cooperation between the client and the law firm serving it. You can get to know the team of attorneys and experts who will work with you. Our website contains a full portfolio of each team member.
It is important for us to maintain the reputation of highly professional lawyers whose goal is not only to earn a fee, but also for the client to be satisfied with the quality of the services received and to recommend us to their partners.
We invite you to visit our office so that we can give you individual guidance on the prices of legal services in Kyiv and the timeframes for providing the legal service you need.

| Advantages: | |
|---|---|
| 1 | The business model of our association provides priority customer service on a continuous basis with granting of big preferences in comparison with provision of services on an irregular basis. |
| 2 | We have developed special conditions of service for our subscription service clients on a package basis, which results in significant cost savings (up to 50%). Unlike subscription services, the standard cost of our company's legal services is set at the rate of 1500 to 3000 UAH per hour of work, which increases during non-working hours and for urgency, with a maximum discount of 10% (when ordering services from 100000 UAH). |
| 3 | We apply an individual approach to each client: if necessary, the development of personal conditions of service is possible, taking into account the amount of legal work required for a particular company. The package of services can always be changed to a smaller or larger side if you need to change the scope of legal protection, with the possibility of individually selecting the necessary services within one package. |

| Advantages: | |
|---|---|
| 1 | In the case of complex support by WINNERLEX at all stages of lawsuit, our fee for court advocacy services is determined by the following principle: second instance (court of appeal) - 90% of the attorney`s fee for the first instance, third instance (Supreme Court) - 80% of the attorney`s fee for the first instance. |
| 2 | Before starting any litigation project, we make a legal research, during which we thoroughly study the client's situation regarding the legal position, and identify possible risks and problems. The result of such research is a legal conclusion that contains an assessment of the prospect of satisfying the client's interests, taking into account the analysis of current legislation and court practice. Only after estimation of perspectives of defending the client`s interests, we take up such a case and enter into an agreement. The cost of our services is then reduced by the cost of the legal conclusion, since the legal assessment of the situation has already been made. |
