Beyond the Billable Hour: A Guide to Flexible Billing Options for Law Firms

Many of today’s legal clients don’t want flexible payment options.

They need them.

This is because more than one in five Americans have no savings for emergencies, let alone unexpected legal fees. Those who do have some savings don’t believe they have enough. Meanwhile, 59% of corporate law departments are facing flat or decreasing budgets, leaving them less to spend on outside counsel.
