Some law firms have overheads which are that high, that it is the overheads that dictate how much they must charge their clients. The more they jargon talk about client focus, the more clients should believe they should consider “premium legal services” offerings that are available that are not costed simply according to what it takes to pay a firm’s massive overheads. Overheads are the only difference.
