It really depends on a lot of factors: some lawyers work with hourly rates (which vary quite a bit, maybe from 150 to 400 euros an hour), others prefer a percentage of the settlement, and still others charge a flat fee for the case. It also depends on where you are, whether it's a complicated or straightforward dispute, and whether it drags on for years or gets resolved quickly. The best thing is to contact two or three lawyers in your area directly and ask for a quote, so you can see the differences and pick what works best for you!
It depends on what kind of dispute it is and where you are, because prices vary quite a bit depending on the region and how complex the case is.
Generally, labor lawyers use a couple of systems: some charge you an hourly rate (maybe 150-300 euros an hour, depends on the city and their experience), some prefer a flat fee to handle the whole process, and some work on a "no win no fee" basis, meaning you only pay if you win. That last option is rarer in labor cases, but it exists. Some lawyers combine an initial flat fee with a success fee. Anyway, there are options.
What you should do is contact one or two lawyers in your area directly and ask for a specific quote for your situation. A lot of them offer a free or almost free initial consultation where they'll give you a rough idea of how much it could cost. If the amount is high, remember that in many cases you can recover your legal costs from favorable verdicts, or the employer is ordered to pay them. Not always, but that's how it often works.
