Valorem - A Litigation Law Firm Offering Alternative Fee Arrangements that Work
The economy may have been the catalyst, but the changes that have occurred in the legal profession over the last two plus years are clearly not just a transitory "blip." Even though the pressure on law departments to reduce outside counsel spend is greater than ever before, the volume of litigation has not decreased. As a result,employing the 8 dreaded words ("because that's how it's always been done before") as your litigation strategy is simply no longer working. You need a solution -- a firm that helps law departments customize their outside representation with the use of alternative billing arrangements that help you achieve the results you want.
Valorem (meaning “value” in Latin) was formed in January 2008 by BigLaw Refugees who are helping clients experience something revolutionary in law -- elite representation, results-driven performance based on non-billable hour fee arrangements, and the use of business tools, like early case assessment, project management and platforms like Legal On Ramp, to make your job easier. We listened to what clients wanted and designed our firm accordingly from the ground up -- no red tape, more budget certainty, more diversity, more collaboration and more innovative use of technology and tools.
If you are content with lawyers who boil the ocean to make a cup of tea, wrong website, wrong firm. But if you are looking to cut your outside counsel spend and 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 goals, you can let us know by taking advantage of the Value Adjustment Line included on every invoice.
Different? Definitively. And better. For you. Results, not hours.™
