Tatum Hilmoe PC Grows Its Corporate Practice Through In-House Availability and Alternative Fee Models
SAN DIEGO, April 11, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- In response to high client demand for flat based and alternative fee arrangements, Southern California based law firm Tatum Hilmoe PC launched flat fee models and in-house services for its corporate clients. The fee models compete directly with hourly rate fees for routine and low risk transactional matters.
The firm's founder, Tate Hilmoe, noticed a growing demand for outsourced license agreements, distribution agreements, trademark filings, corporate governance, and general counsel duties.
"Corporate clients receive the high-quality legal work they need without paying a fortune for traditional hourly rate law firms," Tate said in announcing the fee models.
Tate served as General Counsel to a pharmaceutical company in Los Angeles where he immediately recognized that outsourced hourly legal fees were excessive and inefficient. "There is demand for experienced in-house professionals without the permanent employment relationship." The law firm fills the demand by engaging its clients per project or through an on-demand availability model. "Several of my corporate clients set aside office space for me within the organization. This enables me to work directly with officers and decision makers."
The in-house availability and fee models have paid off. "I've experienced a surge of part-time in-house representation over the past year. These are extremely important relationships that lead to long-term commitments. Clients expect their attorneys to intimately understand their business. There must be a passion for this type of relationship."
Tatum Hilmoe PC maintains a network of experienced IP and litigation attorneys for complex matters. "We recognize the need for specialists and take the time to grow and nurture these relationships. Hybrid in-house relationships and flat fee models will continue to expand. It should be a positive trend for both clients and attorneys."
