Alternative Fee Arrangements: Making Sense of the Options
The alternative fee arrangements (AFAs) have been the cause of much debate in the legal community during the past several years. Some law firms and attorneys have been very vocal proponents of implementing them or entirely switching to AFAs whereas others, who seem to be the majority, still feel uncertain if AFAs will help their bottom line or reduce their profitability.
One thing is certain, alternative fee agreements are here to stay since more and more clients, both large and small, are starting to proactively ask for the cost predictability, certainty, and transparency which they provide. But which options make the most sense in specific circumstances? With a vast array of options, it can be difficult for in-house counsel and outside counsel to agree on an arrangement that offers certainty and transparency but doesn’t sacrifice the quality of counsel.
Join Lewis Roca Rothgerber Christie for a dynamic panel discussion on alternative fee arrangements. Hear from industry experts on the various types of AFAs and the in-house counsel who have deployed specific fee strategies to meet legal budgets and needs.
