When we represent plaintiffs, we enter into blended fee agreements that include a reduced hourly or flat-fee component and a contingency bonus tied to the benefits received by our clients. We tailor fee agreements to meet the clients' expectations and to account for the merits and risks of each engagement.

When we defend cases, we typically charge an hourly fee, but we are also willing to enter into alternative fee arrangements that include an hourly or flat-fee component and a contingency bonus tied to the benefits received by our clients.

Given the complexity of the cases that we handle, significant costs may be incurred during the lifetime of a case. Consistent with our professional obligations, clients are responsible for paying costs incurred during the case. Such costs typically include filing fees, court reporter expenses, consultants' and experts' hourly charges, litigation-related travel, and outside copy, electronic document and mailing services. We do not bill clients for our internal overhead costs, such as internal postage, telephone, and photocopy costs or electronic research access charges.
