When patent and commercial litigation firm Buether Joe & Carpenter first opened its doors in February of 2010, the firm billed all its business by the hour. Now, three and a half years later, the Dallas firm only bills about 25 percent of its business by the hour, and has a goal of eliminating hourly-fees all together, says member Chris Joe.
“We have done flat fee deals, we’ve done monthly set fees, we’ve done partial hourly with a contingency kicker,” Joe says. “We’re open to just about anything for our client. If you can think of it, we’ve thought about it or we’ve done it.”
