The importance of cost estimates when engaging a law firm

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Show me the math is the first book of its kind entirely dedicated to understanding all of the strategic benefits, importance, and the value of cost estimates for corporate clients as well as law firms. Leveraging a 20-year career in corporate legal operations, Richard Brzakala reviews a plethora of topics on cost estimates and presents an in-depth analysis of the cost estimate framework and what clients (and firms) see as the most valuable components of a cost estimate strategy. The book also tackles operational and implementation topics, the dos and don'ts of successful implementation, and a special focus on overcoming challenges and meeting client expectations. This is a comprehensive insider's view of what corporate clients expect from their panel firms and a playbook on how cost estimates can improve a firm's market competitiveness in an increasingly homogenized and challenging legal marketplace. Drawing on nearly two decades of legal operations experience, servicing multiple clients and hundreds of law firms in dozens of countries, Richard has compiled his observations on how cost estimates can benefit corporate clients, legal professionals, finance and marketing experts, law students, alternative legal providers, and procurement and pricing specialists, and assist them in managing their matters, costs, and overall relationships.
