CONTRACT STAFFINGWho: Mid-sized law firm What: Needed a real estate transactions attorney experienced with construction and lending issues Challenge: Accomplish current heavy workload without commitment to additional permanent staff Solution: Multiple candidates were identified by Lumen Legal, and an attorney with 10 years of commercial real estate experience was chosen. The $75 hourly rate was billed to the client at $150/hour (pursuant to ABA Ethics Opinion 00-420). 1,600 hours billable during the first year yielded a profit of $120,000 for the firm. DIRECT HIRE SEARCHWho: Prestigious 20-attorney firm What: Needed an associate attorney who had to be a proven performer with impeccable background. Challenge: Firm couldn’t match the pay scale of larger firms, and months of searching had proven unsuccessful. Solution: Lumen Legal identified the unique and highly-desirable culture of the firm and, using Lumen’s robust database, spread the word about the firm’s cordial, energizing work environment and reputation for outstanding client relations. Within weeks, multiple large-firm candidates were interviewed and an exceptional attorney took a cut in pay to take the position. DOCUMENT REVIEWWho: 165-attorney law firm What: A David vs. Goliath corporate law suit with “bet the company” implications Challenge: The law firm’s client brought suit against a company 10 times its size. A large team was needed to complete the discovery tasks in six months. Solution: An average of 25 attorneys and paralegals worked at both the law firm and the client’s place of business, under the supervision of the law firm’s attorneys. Post-case cost review showed that this collaborative solution between law firm and corporation saved the client at least $875,000, via the services of Lumen Legal. |
