A dream team discussion of alternative billing

On March 17, I will be moderating a West LegalWorks webcast entitled “How boutique firms are delivering greater value with alternative billing.”  If you’d like advice from the trenches on how to get started with alternative fees, you won’t want to miss this session.

All four participants have founded firms that have significant experience moving away from the billable hour:

Fred H. Bartlit, Jr. is the founder of Bartlit & Beck which was named Litigation Boutique of the Year in 2009 by The American Lawyer.

Patrick Lamb is a founder of the Chicago litigation firm Valorem Law Group, and author of the blog "In Search of Perfect Client Service".

Bruce Raymond is the founder of Raymond & Bennett and started the Alternative Fee Lawyers group on LinkedIn. 

Jay Shepherd is the founder and CEO of Shepherd Law Group, and author of the blog “The Client Revolution”.

Hi Jim,

I'd like to point out that on your Dream Team is Jay Shepherd.

His firm has trashed timesheets.

Perhaps you can discuss with him why he did it, and if he's found an alternative to them.

Ron
