FAQ & Support

Frequently asked questions

Where does the information in Anaqua’s database come from?

Our experts continuously research and update the database with associate fee schedules, official government fee schedules, translation costs, and real-time currency exchange rates from each available country.

What are the cost estimates based on?

The estimates are based on fee schedules supplied by at least five independent associates in each available country. We typically use the 75th percentile of the values, which means that estimates tend to be on the high side of the average.

What are some of the fees and details you can see and configure?
Each estimate contains figures for outside counsel fees, associate charges, official fees, translation costs, and miscellaneous costs for different countries. You can configure these values based on your specific need for any country.
Can law firms use this for client quotes?

Yes. Law firms can generate faster, more consistent client-ready quotes and reports while reducing manual effort.

Can I use my own cost assumptions?
Yes. Forecasts can reflect preferred vendor pricing, local fees, translation costs, and currency assumptions.
Can you convert the estimates to different currencies?

Yes, estimates can be converted to most currencies of the world by specifying the desired currency.
