In Brazil, negotiable fees are common in professional services (legal, consulting, accounting) and reflect the business culture's emphasis on flexibility and personal relationships. In the USA, this term is frequently used in professional services, real estate, and consulting industries where hourly rates or project-based pricing may be adjusted based on client circumstances. In Portugal, it's less common in formal business settings where fees tend to be more standardized.
