VIDEO: Alternative Fees in Law

Since the economic downturn in 2008, the legal market has been in a constant state of change. Companies are demanding budget predictability, shared risk and reward, improved efficiency, more transparency, and a new way to define value, and law firms have rushed to respond. Firms cannot rely on the billable hour as they once did. This development has led to the rise of Pricing Departments whose job it is to manage value-based billing arrangements, profitability, and legal project management. Law firms and in-house counsel need to understand each type of alternative fee arrangement, its strengths and weaknesses, how to accurately scope and budget an engagement, and how to manage it once it has begun.

SEC Proposes FINRA Registration for High-Frequency Traders – But at What Cost?

On March 25, the Securities Exchange Commission (the "Commission") proposed revising Rule 15b9-1 (the "Proposed Rule"), in a move designed to require broker-dealers engaged in proprietary high-frequency trading (HFT) of securities or other applicable products to register with a regulatory association (an "Association"). Since FINRA is the only Association that currently exists, all such HFT firms would be required to register with FINRA.

Dealmakers Q&A: Crowell & Moring's Bryan Brewer

Law360
Washington, D.C.-based partner and co-chair of the firm's Corporate Group, Bryan Brewer, speaks with Law360 as part of their dealmaking movers and shakers Q&A series. Brewer shares his personal perspective on an array of questions such as what advice he would give to other inspiring dealmakers and what aspects of regulation affecting his practice are in need of reform. In response to what upcoming trends or under-the-radar areas of deal activity to anticipate, Brewer believes that, "Based on a competitive intelligence view of the market, we do not see divestitures or complete transformative transactions as ruling the deal landscape in the short term. For example, based on recent deal flow and other trend data, technology, pharmaceutical, medical, and biotech M&As have all demonstrated a strong opening in the first quarter of 2014, and we expect that to continue."

“DON’T SIGN THAT YET!” SERIES: Tools and Tips for Identifying and Avoiding Common Traps in Commercial Contracts

Contract negotiation skills and contract dispute experience are two great things that work even better together.  Some common contract provisions frequently generate litigation, either because they are unclear as drafted, or because they operate in an unexpected and undesirable way.  At Crowell & Moring, our corporate lawyers and our commercial litigators take a collaborative approach, using integrated corporate and litigation strategies to draft and structure contracts to reduce the likelihood of disputes.
