“Law firms can win new business and keep current clients if they master the ability to give a price quote for a legal assignment,” said Larry Bodine, Esq., faculty head at Apollo Business Development Webinars. “Attendees of this live webcast will learn how to wean themselves from the billable hour and explore blended rates, capped fees, fixed fees, retainers and success fees.”
This web seminar is proudly co-sponsored by Legal OnRamp, the online social network for 14,000 in-house lawyers and 5,200 lawyers in private practice.
Money spent on alternative billing arrangements has totaled $13.1 billion this year, versus $8.6 billion in the like period of 2008, according to a survey of in-house lawyers who work at Fortune 1000 companies. It said 63% of the surveyed lawyers planned to increase their use of alternative billing arrangements.
