Moving beyond all the talk of alternative fee arrangements, Saul Ewing has put its fixed-fee programs in writing — on its Web site at least.
The firm launched this week its “cost certainty commitment” with two different programs in which either a fixed fee or a cost per-attorney, per-day will be used on specific types of matters the firm identified as lending themselves to such arrangements. New matters have already started to come in as a result, and the goal is to have practice group leaders come up with other areas in which the program could be expanded.
