Value contribution
and fee policy

Value creation is at the heart of our organization DNA, and that is why our fees policy is aligned to such objective.

AGG’s fees are matched to the value delivered to the client, thanks in part to the innovative Value Pricing Model (“VPM”) applicable.

In the case of recurring and large-volume services, AGG and the client (especially companies) also match value to fees by negotiating flat rate fees. This system avoids inordinate, unexpected costs to the company during months of peak activity.

VPM is a system for setting fees; it takes into account what the client has received in terms of added value from the services rendered. This contrasts to traditional invoicing systems based on billable hours or costs incurred by the company that renders services.

This is how the system works:

  1. At a first meeting, the client provides AGG with basic information about their situation, background, expectations and objectives.
  2. After studying the situation, AGG provides the client with a personalized, detailed work proposal, with milestones and objectives to be met. Fees are linked to the achievement of milestones and objectives, and may even be dependent on their completion.
  3. After the client’s acceptance, work is initiated, and as the client progressively incorporates the added value, AGG invoices the fees that were agreed on. Periodic reporting to the client is essential during this phase.

This model allows the client to: (i) make informed decisions, taking into account the benefits and costs of the services; (ii) control costs, such that the benefits obtained are always greater.

Furthermore, VPM encourages open communication between the lawyer/professional and the client. Communication is an essential part of the service; therefore, meetings, phone calls, e-mails, and consultations do NOT modify the price of services.
