Of an earlier post I wrote about improving client- lawyer interaction (http://haslerlaw2.blogspot.com/2009/11/if-you-could-change-delivery-of-legal.html), there were no comments from non-lawyers. I am not so sure that the public cares or thinks about alternatives to the usual fees/services paradigm.<br /><br />Frankly, information is the best are for implementing the idea of free. Secondly will be some sort of form generator - that is true in the UK at this time.Sam Haslerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09412534508956647438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1442020469207898141.post-18312341889299383432009-11-23T14:04:09.000-05:002009-11-23T14:04:09.000-05:00Sam -

The real focus is that as your marginal production costs get close to zero, you should just round down to Free and find ways to leverage the increased volume.<br /><br />The free term sheet generator is a great example of the theory. It costs close to zero to produce each term sheet from the online generator. Yes, there is the initial creation cost. But it can go from producing one term sheet to producing thousands (millions?) at no additional marginal cost. The production is not constrained by the cost of production.<br /><br />On the other side of Free is your own personal time, which is a finite, fixed resource. Nobody is proposing that lawyers give away their time away for free. <br /><br /><i>Free</i> did make me think about what a lawyer could give away to stimulate revenue. Or on the other side, what can the lawyer do to generate revenue that does not have a constraint on production like their time?Doug Corneliushttp://www.compliancebuilding.comnoreply@blogger.com
