The Future Of Goldman Law Develops
What Does A ``New-Age`` Law Firm Have To With Pirates?
Bermuda Shorts, Pirates & Rum
We discovered that clients did not wish to meet with us in our formal offices (we did not blame them) and even when they did, they claimed to be more keen on meeting at the beach, wearing shorts and drinking rum cocktails.
How then would it be possible to charge them on a pure time cost basis? On the other hand, complex transactions, involving billions of dollars, were undertaken entirely by email and telephone/video contact with a face to face meeting reserved for the celebration of another deal being closed. Clearly, per hour charge rates were ineffective and inefficient from a whole range of perspectives. In terms of time costing, there was no connection between the fees charged and the value of the work done. From the client's perspective, such billing was considered uncontrollable, unpleasant and created shocks and surprises that were not appreciated.
So, we now strive to give certainly to each client, as to their legal expenditure, and we approach the question of pricing with the client's specific needs and constraints in mind.
Pre-Covid Innovations
Removing paper, high-rise offices and outdated thinking.
