How Alternative Fees are Revolutionizing the Legal Industry

FPO_altfee-accordion-2
Improve the Client-Lawyer Relationship

Client trust surrounding pricing and the value that the lawyer provides is paramount to a law firm’s success. The traditional hourly model makes the client-lawyer relationship like polarizing magnets; it pushes the trust factor between them further away rather than closer together.

Make Legal Services More Accessible

Lack of alignment between the client and law firm interests is a concern when it comes to pricing legal services by the hour. The gap in legal services accessibility can be significantly reduced by making your legal offerings more approachable.

Marry Value + Client Trust with Results

While the legal industry has a reputation for sticker shock, the average amount of billable work that makes it on a client’s bill is still only around 84%*. What’s more, legal fees under the traditional hourly model don't necessarily equate to the value the client is receiving.

+

These are just a few of the reasons why 84% of law firms offer alternative fee arrangements to charge clients for their services**

78%

78% of consumers want legal pricing to be more affordable, but “affordable” is more than just price — it’s also price certainty and value.*

40%

40% of law firms regularly reduce prices or offer discounts to clients to improve client satisfaction.*

85%

85% of firms using AFAs report that client demand is a factor in driving their use.**

Testimonials

As part of the management team, what I love is being able to provide a level of organization and support around pricing for the staff, especially for our junior lawyers and paralegals. Having the resources available in AltFee to price a project and then collaborate so we are learning each time creates a level of confidence with pricing that we didn’t have before. Systems and efficiencies are priorities for the firm and this achieves both.

Wendy, COO at DL&Co.

​​AltFee allows you to manage clients’ expectations throughout a project. By providing a clear scope of work and fixed fees, clients understand the scope of the project and the costs. It eliminates those difficult conversations around time-cost and efficiency, so that the team can focus on the important issues and provide effective solutions.

Madeline, Associate Lawyer at DL&Co.
