This webcast is not offered for CLE credit.

Many, if not all consumers of legal services are concerned about how much they pay their lawyers. The media also frets about the cost of legal services, especially during recessions like the one we have been in lately. Yet neither consumer concern nor media discussion appear to halt, much less reverse, the seemingly inexorable rise of legal service fees. Why is that?

Some have blamed the much-maligned hourly bill. Yet, as our panel of experts will discuss, while undoubtedly the hourly bill is not suitable for all projects, the undue focus on hourly billing risks distracts us from the real reasons behind the cost escalations. Join our webcast to understand what is really behind this and see how you can save money for your businesses and clients. 

If you intend to take a course for CLE credit, please make sure your state is listed in the "Accreditation" section to the upper right of the program description. West LegalEdcenter will not provide accreditation for states not listed.  Accreditation displayed is unique to the purchased program format (live conference, live webcast, on demand, podcast).

This product is intended for individual use by the named purchaser. Group viewings for online programs may be arranged for five or more attorneys within the same organization prior to viewing by emailing sales@westlegaledcenter.com.
