Fees (No fees unless there is a settlement or an award)

1) Fees for cases in USA

For USA cases that do not involve legal or civil action, you will receive a fixed percentage (40%) of the settlement or award amount.  You do not have to pay any up-front fees.  If there is no settlement (or award) for any cases, you do not pay any fees.  To find out USD$ we have obtained for our clients, please email us at support@sharewarejustice.com.

Fees during civil action (lawsuit) in USA
You have a choice to pursue civil action (lawsuit) against multiple known infringers who refuse to pay, as well as unknown companies and people hiding behind ISPs.  To find out the identities of infringers hiding behind ISPs such as, Verizon etc., a copyright attorney needs to first file civil action on your behalf.  This is a very time consuming work for the attorney.

We will find an attorney who agrees to work on a contingency fee based on the final award amount.  Usually, you get up to 40% of the final settlement or award.  We charge fees for services, only if you receive an award.  

2) Fees for cases outside USA 

Every country has different copyright laws.  In most countries, it is more difficult to pursue copyright infringement (than in the USA).  These countries include Canada, China, Taiwan, India, Japan, UK, Germany, France, etc..   Consequently, the attorneys in these countries may charge at a higher rate; therefore prevents our clients to obtain 40% of the settlements or award.  However, we will only refer you to attorneys who agree to work with you on a contingency basis.  This reduces your up-front risks.

In some countries, the law specifies that attorneys cannot work on contingency basis.  That is, they have to charge fees by the hour. 

We do not charge fees unless there is a settlement or an award.  The fees we quote you (by Country) are a percentage of the final settlement or awards.

If you prefer to pay hourly legal fees and services fees, please let us know.  We can provide you a best rate.
