Billing methods: time or value?

This video has a terrific practical discussion about how different consultants set their fees.

And it’s not always about the hours spent or the money you need. They look at value to the client, the relationship with the client, the quality of the work, your differentiation and other factors.

But ultimately it’s negotiation with the client as you discuss the project. Otherwise you turn yourself into a commodity with a fixed price.

    I think value billing is far more preferable than time based because ultimately, as a business, a law firm depends on creating value for customers (clients). If billing does not reflect this, it is meaningless and people will question it.

    I agree that value billing is the way to go but weaning off time billing isnt easy

  9. Intellectual Property Lawyer Says:

    Value Billing has its positives in many commercial matters where the scope of a job is quantifiable like preparing a trust deed, however, it is difficult to profitably implement this billing model for litigation, particularly intellectual property disputed

    Very well said though the consultants prices come with experiences.

  11. BTF Lawyers Says:

    be careful with who you choose as your lawyer. lawyers can be charging you a lot of money, if you are not sure who to hire or the seriousness of your case. so it is advisable to compare a few law consultants, before finalizing the decision. on the other hand, if you are looking to find a solicitor in sydney nsw you can leave you contact number for a free quote. cheers!

    Just obtained my starter kit last week. I really like
    it! My partner and i smoked a normal cig’ yesterday and it was terrible. The Green Smoke Cig’ is so clean that with the tobacco cig’ I possibly could taste the actual nasty paper and all the other gross stuff I was breathing in before, and I can tell a HUGE difference of how my lung area feel…we even just be ok with myself! I do believe that will be my own last regular cig’.
    What a great product. ; P
