Demands of clients and competition among law firms are causing fairly dramatic changes in the pricing of legal services, away from straight hourly billing.
Total fees under an hourly rate system are frequently not limited by efficiencies, but rather by client controls, the size and scope of the matter, the lawyer's desire to be reasonable or at least not to alienate the client, and competition among firms.
