Law Firm

A Law Firm generates revenue primarily through the provision of legal services, including litigation, corporate law, intellectual property, and various forms of legal consultancy. These services are billed in various ways, such as hourly rates, fixed fees for specific services, or contingency fees where the firm receives a percentage of the settlement or judgment in litigation cases. Additionally, law firms may earn through retainer agreements for ongoing advisory services
