About Us

AltFee is a legal technology company founded by a team of entrepreneurs and legal professionals who understand firsthand the challenges of running and growing a law firm. Combining decades of experience in legal practice, business strategy, and alternative fee arrangements, we're helping firms rethink how they price their services, embrace innovation, and build more sustainable, profitable businesses.

At our core is a simple belief: better pricing creates better opportunities for law firms, their people, and their clients.

Our Story

Our journey began with a mission: to transform the way law firms engage with their clients and value their work.

Our first project started close to home, working with a law firm to develop and implement an alternative fee pricing model using a largely manual approach. We saw firsthand how moving beyond the billable hour could create a more transparent, predictable, and rewarding experience for both firms and their clients. But we also recognized the challenges of making that approach practical and scalable. That experience became the foundation for AltFee.

What began as a hands-on experiment has since evolved into an award-winning legal pricing platform helping law firms make more confident, informed pricing decisions. From our early days working with a small group of AltFee Trailblazers to supporting firms around the world, our journey has been marked by important milestones, including winning the ABA TECHSHOW Startup Pitch Competition and Clio's 2026 Integration Award for Best Business of Law App.

While AltFee has evolved considerably, our commitment remains the same: helping law firms rethink how they price their work and build more sustainable, profitable practices.

Our Mission

At AltFee, our mission is clear: to improve the legal experience, for everyone.

We envision a legal industry where firms are rewarded for their expertise, efficiency, and the value they deliver—not simply the hours they bill. Where pricing is more transparent and predictable, technology creates opportunity rather than financial pressure, and firms have the confidence to embrace better ways of doing business.

For law firms, that means greater control over pricing and profitability, stronger client relationships, and the freedom to innovate. For clients, it means greater clarity and confidence in the value of legal services. And for legal professionals, it means more time to focus on meaningful work and delivering exceptional outcomes.

Why AltFee?

The legal industry is changing. As technology and AI make legal work more efficient, the traditional billable hour increasingly puts law firms at odds with their own progress. Meanwhile, clients expect greater pricing transparency, predictability, and value. We believe firms deserve a better approach to pricing—one that rewards expertise, efficiency, and outcomes rather than time spent.

AltFee was built to help firms navigate this shift with confidence. Drawing on decades of experience in legal practice, law firm operations, and business strategy, we've developed a platform that brings greater intelligence and discipline to legal pricing. From understanding historical performance to pricing and budgeting new work, and measuring profitability, AltFee helps firms make more informed decisions at every stage.

We also know that changing how a firm prices its services doesn't happen overnight. That's why we combine intuitive technology with practical guidance and personalized support, meeting firms where they are and helping them build more sustainable, profitable pricing practices over time.

Better pricing decisions lead to better outcomes. At AltFee, we're helping law firms take greater control of how they price their services, manage profitability, and demonstrate the value of their work. By bringing greater visibility and intelligence to legal pricing, we're empowering firms to make more informed decisions, strengthen client relationships, and build more sustainable businesses.

But our impact goes beyond the technology itself. We work closely with the firms we serve, learning from their experiences and continuously evolving our solutions to address the real challenges they face. Every insight, every improvement, and every success helps us move closer to a legal industry where firms are rewarded for the value they deliver, not simply the time they spend.
