Demands & Administrative Charges
Clients need counsel who are experienced and knowledgeable of the various administrative agencies and can handle demands and administrative charges in a thorough, focused, and cost-effective manner. Additionally, clients need to respond to attorney demand letters in a timely manner but with the appropriate end goal in mind to best drive to that result. Time is wasted if a client needs to educate external counsel on their business and filing preferences. Although demands and administrative charges are a regular reoccurrence, legal spend can quickly climb without a fee structure or other proper planning established in advance.
