The Advantages of Hiring a Boutique Litigation Firm

Boutique Litigation Firms Fight Smarter; We Can Do More With Less

• Lean Staffing: We staff fewer than 1/2 as many people and effectively eliminate redundancies. That reduces the effective hourly rate of each task by almost 30% and improves the institutional learning curve by several orders of magnitude.
• Trial Experience Rules the Day. Having experienced trial counsel on the matter as your primary lawyer gives you the highest-order strategies for winning and exerting pressure on your opponents.
• Fewer Litigation “Events”. Reducing the number litigation events (hearings, depositions, etc.)–which generally impact the litigation very little–allows more focus.
• Only Write When Necessary. Eliminating excessive motion, briefing, and letter writing for things like discovery disputes can reduce fees and costs by 10% or 20% — by one estimate, fewer than 30% of motions are granted anyway.
• No Document “Mania”. Using common sense, technology and strategic thinking can reduce the time spent fighting over, collecting, and reviewing documents by 30%.
• No Nickel and Diming. We don’t charge for the nickel-and-dime type stuff like legal research, regular copying/printing, stapling, etc.

Thus, a boutique litigation firm can easily save you over 40% over what you would certainly pay at a large law firm simply by trimming the fat, and not engaging in any activity that does not increase your probability of winning at trial.
