Valorem - A Business Litigation Law Firm Offering Alternatives That Work
The economy has been a disaster for long enough to know that this is not just a momentary "blip." The pressure on law departments to reduce expenses is greater than ever before, but the volume of litigation has not diminished.
In-house lawyers are realizing that they need more control over their litigation spend. Using the 8 most dreaded words -- "because that's how it's always been done before" -- is no longer cutting it. It's time for a real solution, a firm that can help law departments reduce their litigation expenses, 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 — high quality representation, results-driven, non-billable-hour fee options, and the use of business tools to make your job easier. We saw the writing on the wall before most lawyers even saw the wall! We listened to what clients needed and designed our firm accordingly -- unlike the BigLaw firms who are pretending to jump on the "alternative fee" bandwagon now, when it's convenient to do so.
If you want lawyers who boil the ocean to make a cup of tea, well, wrong website, wrong firm. But if you want lawyers who focus on the values you care about instead of their monthly hours targets, 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. Does your current firm invite you to evaluate their fee with your value?
Different? You bet. But better. For you.

On each bill, we include our agreed upon fee. We also provide you a space to make any adjustment that you feel is needed (see the picture to the right). It really is that simple.
