Their audit process verifies clients are on the lowest rates and reconciles invoices to find erroneous billing rates, taxes, and charges for disconnected services.

Based on our review of financial data, our discussions with law firm leaders, and other economic data available to us, we project that 2015 revenue for the law firm industry will likely rise in the six percent range, and PPEP in the five percent range. We also project expenses to rise in 2015 more so than in 2014, due to lawyer, staff and technology-related expenses. We believe transactional work will continue to drive growth, and litigation demand is likely to remain flat, placing continued pressure on firms with a strong dependence on litigation.
We expect that behind the 2015 industry profit growth
noted above, there will be firms significantly outperforming and lagging the industry average, based on their practice
mix, brand, focus on client service delivery, and approach
to innovation.

The document discusses strategies for reducing telecom costs. It states that companies can typically achieve telecom costs of $500 per office employee per year by reducing costs by 50% from the average of $1000 per employee. However, this requires having a complete inventory of all telecom services, usage and costs, which most companies lack. Without a full inventory, it is impossible to determine if costs can be reduced by eliminating unused services, negotiating better rates, or finding billing errors. The key to reducing costs is obtaining a full telecom inventory to fully understand current spending and identify savings opportunities.

We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs

Alternative Free Arrangements: The Facts Behind the Buzz
1. Alternative Fee Arragements
The Facts Behind The Buzz
Law firms are under increasing pressure from clients to reduce costs and justify expenditures, and
are showing a growing interest in Alternative Fee Arrangements (AFAs) to add more value. But
while there's lots of buzz surrounding this new billing structure, how widely is it actually being
adopted? And how will the use of AFAs fare in the future? These stats shed some light...
Alternative•Fee•Arrangements (AFA)
In the practice of law, AFA’s occur when payments to a law firm are based on a method other than
billable hours.

CONCLUSION
Law firms and their clients are clearly comfortable with using billable hours as a primary payment
structure, and while AFAs may be offered, they are not necessarily widely used. However, there’s
little doubt from legal practitioners that this will change in the coming years. For law firms willing
to get ahead of the curve, there looks to be considerable opportunities with AFAs to increase
efficiencies, increase revenues and better meet their clients’ expectations.
