Legal Developments in 2014
___________________
The year has seen a number of changes and
developements: contingency and incentive fee agreements used more widely, clients search
nationally for counsel realizing there are multiple possible venues for claims,
cost-savings by attorneys with clients doing more leg-work and organization of
information, wider use of social media to evaluate counsel, law catches up
with other services in meeting client objectives at a reasonable and
ascertainable cost, analytics and measures of performance for example, closer
case evaluation for defendants- does settling claims early save money and reduce
costs or prompt more claims, use of higher-end attorneys for evaluation and
lower-priced ones for routine tasks, better transparency in case handling and
billing,
