Legal clients are looking to cut costs and obtain greater value. This has led to an upsurge of interest in alternatives to the billable hour including fixed fees, contingent or partially contingent fees, capped fees, value adjusted billing, and many other alternatives.

In this panel, the author of a recent review of alternative fees will discuss the real world issues of "how to do it" with founders of several leading firms that are committed to helping lawyers move away from the billable hour.  The discussion will focus on the real world lessons learned in hundreds of matters, including:

• Case studies of several different alternative billing strategies
• A discussion of how to set prices successfully
• "From the trenches" advice on how to get started, and when

Note:  A related session entitled How Large Law Firms are Delivering Greater Value with Alternative Billing will be offered on Wednesday, April 15, 12:30 – 2:00pm EDT.  For more information click here.
