The Economics of Litigation

It is often said that the cost of civil litigation has risen to the point that clients cannot afford to litigate anything other than the biggest cases. We find that offensive. The problem is that as firms get big, so does the overhead, which drives rates skyward. There is substantial cost associated with A+ office space, large art collections, and staffing intended to impress. The overhead per lawyer at many large firms is staggering.

Over the last decade, hourly rates for litigation at big firms have skyrocketed. Cost-sensitive clients have been driven away completely, or told that the case cannot be economically handled. Even companies with the resources to pay the highest hourly rates must still justify the economics of deciding to proceed with litigation versus settling or abandoning a claim. Lawyer's bills should not be the paramount factor in deciding whether to proceed with litigation -- the paramount factor should be the merits of the case!

We work for a number of insurers because we run lean and mean, keeping our overhead in check. We bring that same efficiency to every client and every case.

Litigation, even with reasonable rates, can be expensive. We endeavor to establish a litigation strategy on every case intended to maximize the net financial result for that specific case. We don't bring a sledge hammer to a job that requires a scalpel.
