Alternative Fee Arrangements for Law Firms

The legal landscape, particularly how attorneys are getting paid, is rapidly changing. Whether it’s a traditional hourly rate, a subscription model, or a sliding scale, lawyers are motivated to modernize their practices to enable growth for their firms. Every client is different; every case is different. And sometimes, you need your fee agreements to reflect that.
