A panel of experts discuss alternative billing

By Jim Hassett

If you?d like to hear a panel of experts discuss ?Alternative Billing: How to Implement Sustainable Programs for the Long Run?, you can listen in from your PC on July 29, 12:30-2 PM EDT. 

This is the third webcast in a series of panels I have organized for West LegalEdcenter  I will be moderating the discussion, and the panelists will include:

o    Lisa Damon, Managing Partner of the Boston office of Seyfarth Shaw
o    Bryan Ives, co-chair of the Corporate Transactions & Securities Group at Alston & Bird
o    Kerry Notestine, a shareholder at Littler Mendelson

In the long run, the use of alternative fees will grow only if arrangements can be structured in a sustainable way that makes business sense for both sides.   These panelists have extensive experience winning and managing business with alternative fees.  They will discuss the real world lessons learned in hundreds of matters, including:
o    the risks and rewards of alternative fees
o    bidding strategies that get the business and protect profitability
o    how to manage the work to assure high quality and client satisfaction while staying within budget
