What is Attorney's fees (honorários)?

Loser-pays attorney’s fees are owed to the winning party’s lawyer (as a rule 5% to 15% of the conviction or the benefit). Since the 2017 Reform, they may also fall on the claimant who loses claims.

They are a direct component of the cost of litigation — they enter the litigate-vs-settle calculation.

Observed grant pattern: about 80% of merits decisions that address fees (base: real Labor Court cases).
