BCG Attorney Search’s Post

I’ve spent my entire career working with the legal industry, primarily litigators from the AmLaw firms as well as in-house attorneys. Every year you see the same messaging in the industry: --> In-House counsel are finding more creative ways to manage outside counsel spend - budget keeps disappearing and more work is being done in-house --> Law firms are trying to find ways to get more competitive while also increase rates (and that’s been very apparent over the last 3-5 years with innovative technologies not only being used to help save the lawyers time, but built to support their in-house client community) In the last few years I’ve become intimately familiar with just how high those bills with outside counsel can be for litigated matters. Is it an impeccable work product completed by someone who has an expertise in this particular area and is well worth it? 10000% no argument there. However, there’s other steps you can take to ensure your law firm bills are more manageable and more predictable. The last several years of my life have been dedicated almost exclusively to managing legal spend, without sacrificing quality or level of service. I went from managing in-house spend on contract review to automate the obscene amount of NDAs/MSAs/POs/alltheacryonyms with AI to helping outside counsel manage spend on eDiscovery matters based on TB rather than user count or number of applications. I’m back for more with court reporting. In-house community, I’ve worked with you for years. You know panels of approved vendors aren’t exactly a new concept ..they’re being used by almost every insurance company in business today. You don’t have to be in insurance to dictate the services you want your law firm to use for you. I am here to help make your spending more predictable. Litigation happens. Sometimes it’s anticipated, often times it’s not…but it’s always expensive no matter how you slice it. Wouldn’t it be nice to have pre-negotiated rates agreed upon with a trusted vendor of your choosing before your next matter arises? What can Steno do for YOU?

If you are an insurance company or a self-insured selecting a litigation defense firm, are you considering the following? 1. Trial Results: Does the firm actually try cases to conclusion and consistently obtain favorable outcomes? A firm that regularly tries and wins cases does more than achieve favorable outcomes in the specific cases tried. A firm with a reputation for getting winning trial results has a better chance of efficiently and fairly settling cases without incurring the expenses associated with extended discovery and trial; 2. Client Driven, Not Billable Driven: Will the firm work toward a quick resolution of a matter, even if that means significantly less billables and revenue to the firm for that one case? The goal is to efficiently resolve cases for just and fair sums. If that means the attorney's fees are nominal, so be it. Successful firms know that keeping a file open for one minute longer than necessary is a recipe for long-term failure. Bringing cases to efficient and fair resolutions is the key to a successful long-term relationship with clients. 3. Works Well with Others: Are you hiring professionals? Many lawyers fight just to fight. That attitude makes it impossible to efficiently handle matters. Searching for common ground is necessary to handle litigation in an efficient manner. That is impossible if you do not have a professional relationship with your adversary. 4. One Size Doesn't Fit All: Does the firm adapt to different cases and situations? No two cases are the same. There must be variations in strategy depending on the details and circumstances of each individual case. It is important for lawyers to recognize how different issues and facts will play out and to adapt case handling based upon that. 5. Value: Am I getting my money's worth? This one is obvious and doesn't involve just the hourly rate. Law firms should strive to control their total fee and expense spends on a per case basis.

Defense lawyers can't fix stupid. I have had a lot of success litigating premises liability cases against various companies over the years. My success hasn't come from complex or novel legal strategies or anything like that. My success has come from the dumb employees that work for the Defendant. It's funny because many times the Defendant (and their insurance overlords) will hire top-tier law firms to represent them in the case. Lawyers with admirable legal pedigrees and significant trial experience. But unfortunately (for the insurance company) Defense lawyers can't fix stupid. I had a case where the lawyer from a big fancy firm, (Old White Man, White Man, & Associates) filed a well-researched and thoroughly written motion for summary judgment on a "rainy day" slip and fall case. Unfortunately, Defendant's employee testified, "Yeah, I knew the floor was wet before the customer walked it, but I didn't clean it up because I was busy and that's someone else's job to clean the floor." That motion was denied and we proceeded to trial. Another case, a lawyer from an even fancier defense firm (Even Older White Man, White Man, & Associates) filed a well-researched motion for summary judgment as well. Unfortunately, the discovery revealed that shortly after my client was injured, the Store Manager called my client on the phone and said, "Well, I guess one of my employees must've put the (50 lbs object) on the wrong shelf and it fell on you." That motion was denied and we subsequently settled for a reasonable amount. So the moral of the story is: never be intimidated by how many lawyers the insurance companies throw on a case or even how experienced opposing counsel is. The key is to dig deep and reveal how an employee's screw-up caused your client's unnecessary injury. Because Defense lawyers can't fix stupid.
