Valorem - One of the Original Litigation Law Firms Offering Performance Based Billing Arrangements That Work
The economy has been a disaster for long enough to know that this is not just a transitory "blip." The resulting changes in the legal profession have been profound, and the pressure on law departments to reduce expenses is greater than ever before. But one thing has not changed -- the volume of litigation.
As the Wall Street Journal pointed out on the front page of the August 24, 2009 issue, the billable hour is "under attack" as in-house lawyers are realizing that they need more control over their litigation spend. As a result, using the 8 most dreaded words ("because that's how it's always been done before") to defend how your company is handling its outside counsel spend is no longer working. You need a real solution -- a firm that can help law departments reduce their litigation spend while achieving the results they want to achieve.
Valorem (meaning “value” in Latin) was formed in January 2008 by BigLaw Refugees who are helping clients experience something revolutionary -- elite representation, results-driven, performance based billing options, and the use of business tools to make your job easier. We listened to what clients wanted and designed our firm accordingly -- less overhead, more collaboration, and more budget certainty.
If you are content with lawyers who boil the ocean to make a cup of tea, wrong website, wrong firm. But if you want lawyers who focus on the results you care about, putting their own skin in the game, you are in the right place. And if you don’t feel we’ve made your life easier or focused on your end-goals, you should take advantage of the Value Adjustment Line included on every invoice.
Different? Definitively. And better. For you.
