This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modern law firms operate in a very competitive and saturated market - this also led to a recent fundamental change in their pricing proposition. The traditional model based on hourly billing is now challenged by Alternative Fee Arrangements (AFAs) which base their price not on the amount of hours lawyers spend on a legal prob-lem, but rather on the actual outcome and result - this is the value pricing model. This paper aims to provide an introduction of AFAs as disruptors of the legal industry along with challenges regarding their practical implementation in Germany.

Download or read book Flat Fee Fundamentals written by Tyler Moore and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 16 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Current economic trends are motivating law firms and clients to reassess billing practices. The once invincible billable hour is increasingly criticized, and a growing number of attorneys are abandoning it in favor of "flat fee" or "fixed fee" arrangements. But flat fees can raise some prickly ethical issues, such as whether attorneys can charge non-refundable fees, whether legal fees are ever earned upon receipt, and whether advances of unearned fees must be treated as client property. Moreover, this past September, the D.C. Court of Appeals rekindled the debate surrounding these issues when it held, in In re Mance, that a flat fee remains the property of the client until his or her attorney performs the legal service envisioned by the fee.This note hopes to serve as an introduction to flat fee ethics and examines the questions raised above in the context of In re Mance. Part I sets the framework for a discussion about flat fees by explaining common terminology that judges and lawyers use to describe various fee arrangements. Part II summarizes scholarship and judicial precedent surrounding the nonrefundable retainer and ownership of fees upon receipt. Part III examines the reasoning of In re Mance. And Part IV suggests steps attorneys should take in light of In re Mance to ethically accelerate access to flat fee funds.

Download or read book Contingent Fees for Personal Injury Litigation written by Patricia Munch Danzon and published by . This book was released on 1980 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Plaintiff attorneys on personal injury cases are typically paid a contingent fee. Contingent fees are widely believed to induce excessive litigation and are increasingly regulated. A theoretical analysis of contingent and hourly wage contracts shows that, with competition for cases, attorneys paid a contingent fee will devote the amount of effort that would be chosen by fully informed, risk-neutral plaintiffs paying by the hour: the net value of the claim to the plaintiff will be maximized. However, risk-averse plaintiffs will underinvest in the number of suits and amount spent per case, if attorneys must be paid by the hour. Estimates of the effects of limits on contingent fees are presented. If the benchmark of the optimum expenditure on litigation is that which would be chosen by fully informed, risk-neutral plaintiffs, the unconstrained contingent fee is likely to induce the closest approximation to this ideal.

Download or read book Third Party Litigation Finance written by Anthony J. Sebok and published by Aspen Publishing. This book was released on 2024-01-31 with total page 864 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Buy a new version of this textbook and receive access to the Connected eBook on Casebook Connect, including lifetime access to the online ebook with highlight, annotation, and search capabilities. Access also includes an outline tool and other helpful resources. Connected eBooks provide what you need most to be successful in your law school classes. Litigation finance sits at the intersection of many well-known subjects within the law school curriculum: contracts, torts, civil procedure, evidence, professional responsibility, insurance, and capital markets. There are no professionally produced materials for a professor who wants to teach an entire semester-long course on litigation finance. This casebook is an attempt to fill that gap. Its ten chapters provide a foundation for a two- or three-credit class, although many of the chapters could also be used individually as supplemental material for a free-standing unit on litigation finance in another course, such as torts, civil procedure, or the law of lawyering. Notwithstanding the fact that the law of litigation finance is rapidly developing as investment in litigation and legal services grows, the cases and other materials contained in this book will remain relevant and useful to anyone trying to teach students about this important new body of law. Benefits for instructors and students: Careful selection of the leading cases in the United States about the development and current law of assignment and litigation finance. Diverse selection of secondary source material, including major law review articles, as well as reports and advocacy materials from supporters and critics of litigation finance. Notes following the readings help the student progress through the materials in a logical and coherent manner.
