While flat fee and other non-hourly arrangements have been commonplace in cut - and -
dried legal areas like tax and estate planning, they're becoming more common across the practice areas of «Main Street» firms and attorneys.
Here's a great career «success story» of one lawyer - Denise Lash of Canadian
legal powerhouse Miller Thomson LLP - who leveraged her expertise in a fairly esoteric and
dry practice
area - condominium law - into a thriving media business - MondoCondo Media Group Inc. - that teaches consumers about condominium ownership and helps developers and condo - related vendors market to condo buyers.
