Re: Contract Renewal for Legal Services
Dear Tim:
Pursuant to our previous discussions, please find enclosed a copy
of our contract for renewal. In reviewing last year's work, I have
found that the amount of hours which I have spent on Dublin has
increased significantly and, as you are aware, my billable rate is
normally $125.00 per hour for office work and $150.00 per hour for
trial work. I have always given Dublin a break on fees due to the
large volume of work and our long standing relationship. I am
requesting that the contract remain exactly as it has been in the
past, with the exception that the hourly rate be increased from
$60.00 to $85.00.
I am sure from the other attorney fee bills which you have examined
from the other firms we deal with, you recognize the savings that
we are affording Dublin even with this increase. In reviewing the
records, I think you will also note that there has been no increase
in our fees for a significant amount of time.
Looking forward to our continued relationship.
Very truly
Stephen J. smith
