Novare Law Group
SHARING RISK, ADDING VALUE
We believe that the traditional law-firm model does not serve clients’ interests and, in fact, is in conflict with those interests. So, we decided to take an innovative approach by doing things differently. We believe we should share risk with our clients, while working toward and achieving agreed-upon outcomes. In insurance related matters, Novare Law Group works exclusively with policyholders to assess risk, understand coverage, and obtain maximum available coverage. We craft solutions that provide the best net-cash position for our clients and produce results through disciplined, legal- project management and insurance-coverage expertise.
Corporate America demands its service providers deliver measurable results and quality on schedule and on budget. Legal-service providers must adopt those same standards. Legal services are capable of being defined, planned and budgeted. Law firms are capable of using best management practices, including continuous process improvements, to deliver high value. Law firms and their clients are capable of defining goals and objectives and of creating metrics to measure success. These are the innovations Novare brings to the legal market.
"Lawyers hate keeping track of their billable hours. Clients hate them even more; each month they receive bills showing that their legal representatives have worked improbably long hours at incredibly high rates. Billing by the hour often fails to align lawyers' interests with their clients'... Since there is clearly a demand for an alternative to the billable hour, you would expect someone to supply it."
"The billable-hour system is the way most lawyers in big firms charge clients, but it serves no one. Well, almost no one. It brings most equity partners in those firms great wealth. Law firm leaders call it a leveraged pyramid. Most associates call it a living hell."
