That's interesting. I've never had a law firm be straightforward about the (obvious) fact they'll be using a boilerplate.
I've even found that when lawyers send a document for one of my companies, and I give them a list of things to fix, including e.g. typos, the same typos will be in there if we need a similar document a year later for another company (because, well, nobody updated the boilerplate)
Do you ask about the boilerplate before or after you ask for a quote?
- cj 2y agoI typically don’t ask for a quote upfront since they are very fair with their business and billing practices. I could definitely see a large law firm (Orrick, Venable, Cooley, Fenwick) doing what you describe. I’ve worked with 2 firms just listed, and their billing practices were ridiculous. I’ve had a lot more success (quality and price) working with boutique law firms, where your point of contact is always a partner instead of your account permanently being pawned off to an associate. Email is in profile if you want an intro to the law firm I use. Great boutique firm based in Bay Area and extremely good price/quality/value.
