Flexible & Affordable Fee Structures

For outside general counsel services, Crewse Law Firm offers flexible and alternative fee schedules that allow you to choose a cost structure and arrangement that best fits your needs and provides value and cost savings.  Because we do not have sizable overhead, we are able to pass cost savings on to you.

 

Although the alternative fee schedule options that we offer are specifically tailored to the needs of your company, our proposal typically includes at least two of the following options:

 

  1. Cost Savings – a proposed hourly rate (that provides significant savings compared to other firms), with no pre-arranged minimum number of hours per week or month;
  2. Cost Savings Plus – a proposed flat monthly fee covering a pre-arranged number of hours per month (i.e. 10, 20, or 40 hours), plus a proposed reduced hourly rate for any time above and beyond the set number of hours. This approach provides Cost Savings because the commitment to a minimum number of hours allows us to provide substantially reduced rates; and
  3. Flat-Fee & Task Billing for particular services.
