Valorem

Valorem (meaning “value” in Latin) was formed in January 2008 by BigLaw refugees who are helping clients experience something revoluntary--high quality representation, results-driven, non-billable-hour fee options, and the use of business tools to make your job easier. They saw the writing on the wall before most lawyers even saw the wall! They listened to what clients needed and designed their firm accordingly -- unlike the BigLaw firms who are pretending to jump on the "alternative fee" bandwagon now, when it's convenient to do so.If you want lawyers who boil the ocean to make a cup of tea, well, wrong website, wrong firm. If you want lawyers who focus on the values you care about instead of their monthly hours targets, you are in the right place. And if you don’t feel they have made your life easier or focused on your end-goals, you should take advantage of the Value Adjustment Line included on every invoice. Does your current firm invite you to evaluate their fee with your value?

Here are a few reasons behind Valorem's leading law firm status:
