Budgeting and Staffing

Firm

We Understand Client Objectives and Budgeting

When it comes to legal bills, the adage of “the best surprise is no surprise” holds true. No one likes unexpectedly high bills. The days of presenting clients with a large bill simply described as “For Services Rendered” are long gone. We know you deserve more.

WE MANAGE AND STAFF CLIENT MATTERS AS THOUGH IT IS OUR OWN MONEY BEING SPENT

Client matters should never be pursued or managed based on what is the most convenient or profitable to a law firm. Staffing of a legal team should always be in accordance with the client’s wishes and best interests. Exaggerated layers of staffing and inter-office conferences, a staple of “big firm” practice in the past, should be eliminated or minimized to the best extent possible.

When we manage client matters, we understand the trust that is placed in our hands, not only in terms of achieving the objectives desired by the client but also in taking great care to do so in the most effective manner possible. Our clients’ success depends on our stewardship of their resources if only in the discrete matters entrusted to us.

Our offices are equipped with the latest technological resources, allowing us to efficiently and economically serve our clients.

REDUCTION IN MULTIPLE ATTORNEYS TO COVER DIFFERENT AREAS OF EXPERTISE

Our senior partners have a broad depth of experience in multiple practices, and alone carry out several roles typically handled by multiple attorneys at larger law firms. This breadth of experience serves our clients well, as the number of attorneys working on a matter can be significantly reduced and staffing streamlined.

Our experienced litigators have worked on and tried practically every type of commercial dispute possible, and our experienced transactional team has also done practically every kind of deal that can be done. The partners in our intellectual property group, for example, have all served as general counsel for companies. These same attorneys also handle the intricacies of intellectual property development and licensing, as well as complex venture capital transactions and private capital financing. Minimizing the number of attorneys involved in any given matter significantly reduces legal fees because it eliminates inter-office conferences and time required to bring other attorneys “up to speed”.

Our goal is to eliminate inefficiencies at all levels that do not result in value to clients.

Our goal is to have every dollar billed result in at least one dollar of value to our clients.

When firms handle a matter as though they are spending their own money, it changes everything.
