Fee Structures
Transparency, efficiency, and flexibility
Overview
Transparency, efficiency, and flexibility govern TCI’s approach to billing: No one likes surprise bills.
- Hourly. TCI’s typical hourly rate is $200/hour, though each matter is quoted separately.
- Billed time is logged daily to ensure maximum accuracy, never reconstructed after the fact.
- Flat. Certain simple assignments benefit from flat fees.
- Success-based. TCI is always willing to bet on itself and the results it can provide. For certain assignments, TCI is willing to negotiate clearly-delineated success-based fee arrangements.
- Success-based fees align incentives, plus help keep costs predictable.
- Success-based fees vary in treatment of expenses.
- Success-based fees occasionally require funds to be placed in escrow.
- Hybrid. TCI also enters agreements with significantly reduced hourly rates combined with a success fee.
Reasonable expenses are incurred judiciously and passed through at cost (never marked up).
