AI-Native Alternative Fee Arrangements
Projection: Firms may price repeatable legal work by accepted result while reserving hourly billing for judgment and advocacy. Funding and workflow adoption make experimentation plausible, not economically sustainable. Signed outcome-based matters need clear acceptance evidence and healthy matter margins before this fee structure can claim durable traction.
