Rail Operator Makes Substantial Savings
Reduced Legal Fees on Complex Rail Tender Evaluation
Recently, one of the UK’s largest private rail freight wagon hire companies made a saving of over 40% on their legal fees by engaging Fishbone to develop a complex tender evaluation package.
This package involved thorough reviews and extensive drafting of all the legal documentation required to effectively protect the Company.
Instead of instructing an expensive firm of solicitors the Company approached Fishbone to utilise their “Virtual In-House Lawyer”. Fishbone successfully completed this assignment using the extensive legal expertise of Robert Powell, a highly experienced commercial lawyer.
Fishbone are unique in their ability to provide such a full service to their clients obtaining substantial savings in the fees that they charge. The customer made substantial savings on the legal review as they were not paying expensive lawyers by the hour and did not have to spend time in duplicating their instructions to another firm of lawyers.
When asked “Why can Fishbone successfully compete with law firms to provide such a service?” Robert Powell gave the following comment.
“The industry has woken up to the need to control its legal costs and legal advisors before they engage them. The expensive hourly or even fixed rate fees charged by law firms will become a thing of the past when these firms are faced with this type of approach. The benefit of working with Fishbone is that they are “hands-on” and have extensive industry knowledge. This makes working as a legal-commercial team more focused and more effective.
Through my experiences as an in-house lawyer I have developed a great appreciation of industries’ needs and provide sound, quality, pragmatic and effective legal advice which is implementable. “
