Billing probe reveals in-house resentment

Comment

Billing Methods Undoubtedly there is complacency on the private practice side, and I can understand the frustration that many firms are still not getting this right. However, I would point out that in my experience in-house lawyers are quite conservative about moving away from hourly billing. While they say they want value billing I have never managed to get agreement to bill on a percentage of deal value (I could have retired by now if I had). There is extensive competition to provide legal services and if in-house counsel is not getting fee transparency why not move the account to a firm that is better at account management?
