Fees
Jon Palle Buhl's fees are calculated on the basis of time spent on each case. We also take into account the nature of the task, the financial value of the case, the interests involved and the final result.
Invoices are normally issued upon the finalisation of a case. However, in lengthier cases or where the client has a large portfolio of individual matters, invoices can be issued quarterly, bi-annually or annually, as arranged with our clients on a case-by-case basis. In some cases, we ask for a payment on account.
While the high standards of our work are reflected in our fees, we attach great importance to openness about our fees and the relationship between the final fee and the assistance offered to our clients.
Provisions on money laundering
The Jon Palle Buhl Law Firm is subject to the Danish Act on Precautionary Measures for the Prevention of Money Laundering and Financing of Terrorism. The Act prescribes that under certain conditions we are obligated to obtain and store information on our client’s identity.
Furthermore, pursuant to the provisions of the money laundering act, in some situations we are obligated to notify the State Prosecutor for Special Crime in case of suspicion that a transaction, funds or an activity have or have had a connection to money laundering or financing of terrorism. In case of such notice, the stored information on identity may be delivered to the State Prosecutor for Special Crimes.
In accordance with the Act, the information on identity received will be kept on our file for a minimum of 5 years after the client relations have ceased.
