Talk:Alternative fee arrangements

Claims of specific firms "leading" these developments sounds like marketing slicks, not an encyclopedia entry.

"Various firms and corporations are credited with leading the way in AFAs. Leading the charge are corporate clients such as Du Pont,[1] Cisco,[2] and FMC.[3] Corporate clients are looking for a combination of cost savings, cost certainty, and alignment of law-firm interests with corporate interests in avoiding an excess of hours worked—and billed. Law firms such as K&L Gates and Valorem[4] are taking the lead in proposing AFAs."

Interested in feedback before making such a change, however. I'm occasionally hot-headed.

There are many companies that request AFAs from law firms and it is not accurate to name such a small number of companies as "leading" the way. AFAs have become almost commonplace when companies issue Requests for Proposals or Requests for Information.

Nearly every U.S. law firm that wants to do business with large corporations must be willing to provide AFAs. To name two firms really does read like something from a PR firm. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.47.77.86 (talk) 15:13, 16 August 2016 (UTC)
