About Reminger Co., LPA
Reminger Co., L.P.A. has historically represented a diverse client base in civil litigation. Areas of specialization within the firm have also evolved to include corporate, tax, real estate and probate matters. Our offices are strategically located so as to enable us to serve our clients more efficiently on a statewide and/or regional basis. Our attorneys have experience representing clients in complex and catastrophic matters throughout the United States.
Event Synopsis:
The growing prominence of alternative fee arrangements (AFAs) among many law firms can be attributed to client pressure during the recession. Instead of hourly charges, many clients are now being offered billing based on case outcomes.
According to some experts, the current backdrop can provide law firms with more opportunities. The fixed demand for legal services and the disinclination of many clients towards rate increases, make it hard for most firms to obtain more billable-hour profit. AFAs can be a good way for law firms to be more profitable and to differentiate itself from its competitors. A recent survey revealed that half of the polled clients consider a firm's openness to AFAs as a huge factor in choosing an outside counsel.
Appropriate measures should be taken by law firms to make AFAs work for them. Those with internal procedures that deal with the growing need for AFAs will take the leading position to take away opportunities from the unequipped ones.
In this two-hour LIVE Webcast, a panel of distinguished professionals and thought leaders assembled by The Knowledge Group will help law firms understand the important aspects of this significant topic. They will provide an in-depth discussion of alternative fee arrangements’ implications. Speakers will also offer best practices in developing and implementing an effective AFA strategy.
Key topics include:
- Alternative Fee Arrangements – An Overview
- Law Firm Billing Problems
- AFA Advantages and Disadvantages
- AFA Profitability
- Best AFA Practices
- Legal Industry Forecasts
