Engagement Process
Values
CILC's attorneys are committed to providing transparent, competitive, and value-driven legal services across the core practice areas.
Their rates reflect the sophistication, scope, and efficiency that set CILC apart in serving clients in the U.S., EU, and beyond.
01
Rates
CILC maintains a transparent fee structure, offering hourly rates for highly complex matters or litigation, and preferred fixed-fee or alternative arrangements for defined projects.
Hourly rates for complex matters and litigation in core practice areas typically range from $500 to $800.
Alternative fee arrangements eliminate hourly billing and instead provide tiered options tailored to the specific scope and requirements of each project.
02
Process
All fees and the scope of services are discussed and confirmed in writing before engagement.
CILC's attorneys provide each client with a detailed letter outlining terms, scope, and applicable rates for their specific matter.
03
Disclaimer
Rates listed above are indicative and may vary for matters of unusual complexity or urgency. All engagements are governed by a written agreement specifying the scope of services and applicable fees.

CILC vs. Traditional Law Firms
Law firms generally maintain a hierarchical pyramid structure with significant overhead (physical offices for large, separate teams of associates, a bureaucratic structure), which adds to costs.
The traditional partner-associate law firm's model relies on junior lawyers to generate billable work while senior lawyers supervise, mentor, and manage client relationships.
CILC's cost structure is, by design, significantly lower than law firms'. The model is built around a small, elite team of attorneys, powered by AI for efficiency.
Clients pay directly for expert lawyer time—not layers of firm administration, premiums, or duplicated jurisdictional teams.
CILC vs. Legal Tech Platforms
CILC’s attorneys provide actual legal representation, not just technology, with elite attorney credentials and experience, and specialized expertise in antitrust, IP, and regulatory.
