Alternative Fee Arrangements—From Theory to PracticeThis interactive forum is designed to help you: Cultivate a value-focused legal delivery system centered on the true meaning of partnership between law firm and client – sharing in both risk and reward. Manage risk in experimenting with other fee arrangements by achieving cost-certainty yourself before offering cost-certainty to your clients. Realize a compensation system built upon the longevity of partners and an open dialogue at the firm - rather than reliance on billable hours. Approach alternative fees head-on - confronting the key elements that have structurally compromised the modern law firm. Navigate engagement project stages delivering high client value with controlled costs that maintain firm profitability. Understand how the experience/results model for quality and efficiency links to superior recruitment, training, mentoring, advancement and retention of talent. Define value while fostering relationships that reward service.
