Each case is approached with rigor and a tailor-made strategy to ensure the best defense and secure each stage of the legal process.
ECLIPSE AVOCATS A LA COUR law firm (hereinafter referred to as : “ECLIPSE”), registered with the Luxembourg Bar Association, with its registered office at 8, rue des Girondins, L-1626 Luxembourg, brings together several lawyers practicing in association.
By entrusting a mandate to one of ECLIPSE’s lawyers, the client is deemed to have read and accepted these general terms and conditions without reservation.
In the event of a conflict between these general terms and conditions and those of the client, ECLIPSE’s general terms and conditions shall prevail.
ECLIPSE provides advice, assistance, and legal representation, particularly in criminal law and other areas of Luxembourg law.
The advice given by ECLIPSE is limited to Luxembourg law applicable on the date on which it is given.
Unless expressly agreed in writing, ECLIPSE does not provide tax or financial services, nor does it provide IT or cybersecurity advice.
Any analysis or request for information on strategic, economic, or personal matters is intended solely to enable better legal advice or to comply with legal obligations in the fight against money laundering and terrorist financing (AML/CTF).
Each ECLIPSE lawyer undertakes to perform their duties with diligence, in compliance with the law governing the legal profession, the internal regulations of the Luxembourg Bar Association, and the applicable rules of professional conduct.
The lawyer is bound by an obligation of means and not of results.
ECLIPSE’s fees are generally calculated based on the time actually spent on the case, using an hourly rate communicated to the client, which is subject to periodic review.
The hourly rate depends in particular on the lawyer’s experience, the complexity and urgency of the case, and the specialization required.
Fixed fees or additional success fees may be agreed in writing with the client.
In addition to fees, the following are invoiced:
Invoices are generally issued monthly or bi-monthly and are payable upon receipt.
They are subject to Luxembourg VAT at the applicable rate.
Any delay in payment will automatically result in the application of late payment interest in accordance with the law of April 18, 2004, as amended.
In the event of non-payment, ECLIPSE reserves the right to suspend or terminate any services.
ECLIPSE’s lawyers are only liable in cases of serious misconduct or negligence.
Any liability claims are time-barred one year after the occurrence of the event giving rise to the claim.
Each ECLIPSE lawyer is covered by the professional liability insurance of the Luxembourg Bar Association.
Compensation for the client is limited to the amount covered by the insurer in the context of the case in question.
In the event that the insurance does not cover the claim, ECLIPSE’s total liability is limited to four times the fees invoiced in the case in question, excluding VAT, up to a maximum of EUR 50,000.
ECLIPSE and its lawyers may maintain or have maintained professional relationships with other individuals or legal entities.
The client accepts that such relationships do not in themselves constitute a conflict of interest, unless otherwise provided for in the rules of professional conduct.
In the event of a proven conflict of interest, ECLIPSE will take the necessary measures to remedy it in accordance with its professional obligations.
Communication between ECLIPSE and its clients is generally conducted by email, unless expressly requested otherwise.
Clients’ personal data is processed in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR) and applicable Luxembourg legislation.
ECLIPSE’s privacy policy is available on request and can be consulted on the website [www;eclipselegal.lu].
ECLIPSE strictly complies with legal obligations regarding the fight against money laundering and terrorist financing (AML/CTF).
These obligations may involve the collection and verification of documents or information, as well as ongoing monitoring.
In the event of a breach by the client of their obligations to cooperate, or in the presence of justified suspicion, ECLIPSE may be required to suspend or cease all intervention.
A flat fee of EUR 50 is charged for archiving the file.
ECLIPSE keeps files for 5 years after their closure and final invoicing. After this period, the client authorizes ECLIPSE to destroy them, unless a prior written request for their return has been made.
The relationship between the client and ECLIPSE is based on trust. It may be terminated at any time by either party, in writing or by email, subject to compliance with ethical obligations.
In the event of termination, ECLIPSE will issue a final invoice covering the services and costs incurred up to the date of termination, payable immediately.
Unless expressly agreed in writing, ECLIPSE’s advice is provided exclusively to the client and may not be invoked by third parties.
ECLIPSE’s services are provided mainly in French and English. At the client’s request, other languages may be used where possible.
Relations between ECLIPSE, its lawyers, and their clients are governed exclusively by Luxembourg law.
Any dispute shall fall within the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the City of Luxembourg, without prejudice to the client’s right to refer the matter to the President of the Luxembourg Bar Association for attempted conciliation.
ECLIPSE reserves the right to modify these general terms and conditions at any time. The modified version shall apply as soon as it is posted on the ECLIPSE website and shall be communicated to the client when a file is opened.
