I pride myself on being an innovator in legal cost reduction methods, applying flat fees to most projects and reasonable retainers for long-term relationships. In doing so, your legal counsel can be budgeted in advance.
For companies that require ongoing general counsel, but cannot afford or do not need this service full-time, we work on retainer, determining in advance the scope of work for a six or 12-month period. Although workflow may vary, monthly fees are constant, with surpluses or deficits reconciled when the retainer period ends. At that time, the scope of work is reevaluated, and monthly fees adjusted accordingly.
In addition, we do not charge for lawyer education, nor do we view administrative costs such as photocopying, word processing and travel time as profit centers.
