About the Firm
Fareya Azfar & Araoui is an international arbitration and private capital boutique law firm advising, owner-managed businesses, private capital investors, and family offices.
We are a partner-led practice offering commercial depth, market experience, and exceptional legal rigour to every project we undertake, from structuring transactions and governance to dispute mitigation, international litigation and arbitration.

We structure our fee arrangements around the nature of the instruction, the client’s commercial objectives, and the level of risk, urgency, and strategic judgment required. Our approach is not limited to hourly billing. Where appropriate, we agree bespoke fee structures that give clients greater predictability, better alignment, and a clearer relationship between legal cost and legal value.
We structure our fee arrangements around the nature of the instruction, the client’s commercial objectives, and the level of risk, urgency, and strategic judgment required. Our approach is not limited to hourly billing. Where appropriate, we agree bespoke fee structures that give clients greater predictability, better alignment, and a clearer relationship between legal cost and legal value.
Our fee arrangements may include fixed fees, hourly fees, success-based components, value-based fees, task-based fees, annual retainers, or hybrid structures combining more than one model. The appropriate structure depends on the matter. Some disputes require flexibility as facts develop. Others can be scoped by phase, deliverable, outcome, or defined strategic objective.
Fixed and Phase-Based Fees
For defined instructions, we may agree a fixed fee either for the whole matter or for a specific phase of work. This gives clients cost certainty and allows them to budget with confidence.
In disputes and contentious matters, fixed fees are usually most effective when structured by phase: early case assessment, pleadings, interim applications, evidence, hearing preparation, settlement strategy, enforcement, or other clearly defined stages. Each phase is scoped by reference to agreed assumptions, likely workstreams, and identified deliverables. This allows the fee structure to remain disciplined without ignoring the natural uncertainty of litigation and arbitration.
