What We See on the Horizon

Contact our Chambliss team for our latest insights about the following:

• It's no secret that in-house counsel are asked to do more on smaller legal budgets. Chambliss offers alternative fee arrangements, including retainers, phase and budgeted billing, and fixed and blended rates, each designed to address the unique objectives of each client. In addition, we invest in technologies to improve efficiencies and reduce costs. We make a concerted effort to involve a team of professionals, including experienced associates and paralegals, who perform outstanding work at cost effective rates.
• In-house legal teams often need the assistance of outside counsel when they do not have the capacity or niche experience required to effectively handle a matter. Given our experience based on the breadth of our client base, we are able to provide professionals who are able to assist clients on projects that may exceed the capacity or experience of the client's in-house legal team. Whether it is assisting with due diligence in a transaction or discovery in a litigation matter, we often are able to provide assistance in a dedicated, cost-effective manner.
