Top-tier lawyers working outside the box: creating value not just selling time.
Optim Legal was formed by a group of lawyers from leading firms taking a more hands-on approach to helping clients with the legal side of business.
The innovations Optim Legal has introduced include:
- a culture where client relationships matter more than time sheets
- a choice of a la carte fee structures
- a radically fair and transparent billing system
- a cooperative business model in step with the times
- a framework for helping helping clients to achieve their goals
At Optim Legal, sustainability is more than window dressing, it is part of our DNA.
Relationships First
Optim Legal’s streamlined structure, lower operating costs, smart use of technology, and scorecard approach to client service ensure that clients get more value for their legal spend. By removing the client-service conflict created by billing targets, we empower lawyers to put client relationships first.
- We measure our performance with a monthly scorecard based on objectives agreed upon with the client at the outset. How much you pay matches your satisfaction level.
- We strive to build sustainable relationships in a sustainable environment. To back it up, we give clients in the clean- and green sectors a further 10% discount on services.
Our lawyers are top-tier, mostly alumni of Australia’s top 8 commercial law firms. All are committed to a new approach to lawyering, allowing clients to choose our services in a combination of ways. One size never has fit all.
