International Clients

---

Wyatt Partners has established a program to assist international corporations/firms seeking to navigate the United States legal system in the most cost-effective, comprehensive manner possible. Many of our international clients that have found themselves in United States litigation for the first time learn very quickly how expensive it can be – often unnecessarily. We at Wyatt Partners are in the ideal position to provide these corporations with the background information to ensure that their legal fees and expenses remain reasonable and the relationships between the corporation and United States counsel are as communicative and productive as possible.

Our program focuses on strategies, practices and programs most favored by the General Counsels of United States corporations on all aspects of legal services, including practical strategies/advice to maximize cost-effectiveness and enhance the ongoing relationships with outside United States counsel. Wyatt’s program includes information regarding:

	The budget challenges facing United States legal departments;
	Most common law firm practices leading to increased fees and expenses;
	The establishment of programs to reduce legal fees and expenses;
	The implementation of fee guidelines and fee agreements regarding the hiring and monitoring of outside law firms’ fees and expenses;
	The implementation of a Litigation Planning and Monitoring program;
	The establishment and maintenance of Budget Programs for legal spend;
	Alternate Fee Arrangements; and
	The development of a process for controlling costs in the selection and retention of third party vendors.
