CONTRACT STAFFINGWho: Midsized 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). During the first year, 1,600 billable hours 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 ten 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. |
