Legal Vendor and Resource Management

  • We design and oversee the engagement of legal advisors, expert witnesses, and alternative legal service providers (including e-discovery, document management, and litigation-support services).
  • We advise on the design and evaluation of fee models for legal services—such as alternative fee arrangements (AFAs), fixed fees, variable or sliding-scale fees.
