: Legal Business DevelopmentJuly 29 webcast on alternative billing
By Jim Hassett
I am pleased to announce the final panelists for our July 29 West LegalEdcenter webcast on ?Alternative Billing: How to Implement Sustainable Programs for the Long Run?.
All four are in the forefront of the movement toward alternative fees.
I first wrote about Lisa Damon?s Six Sigma work at Seyfarth in Part 3 of this series. Kerry Notestine of Littler Mendelson is the co-author of an article on the ACES program from FMC Technologies, which is discussed in today?s post on structuring contingent fees. And I learned about the innovative programs conducted by Steve Jenkins of Haynes and Boone and Bryan Ives of Alston & Bird through my survey on alternative fees.
If you?d like to hear our discussion on July 29, 12:30-2 PM EDT, just sign up at West LegalEdcenter.
And if you?d like to listen to the discussions of the first two panels in this series, you can still access those recordings on the web:
