Cut-Rate Corporate Legal Services
 February 2, 2004

We recently heard about two firms that are pursuing discounted rate strategies. In San Francisco, Silicon Counsel, a new law firm serving the tech community is touting partner rates of $200 to $250 per hour, roughly one-third of large firm rates. Detroit’s Dykema Gosset acquired a 78-attorney firm in Chicago and intends to bill at $300 to $325 per hour.
