All about the family of Watkins & Young PLLC companies

To begin you should know that we are a convergent law practice. A convergent practice is one that integrates business and law to achieve client goals. To do this, we invest our expertise, time and resources in our clients and their businesses. To be successful with this investment we need the services and staff to best provide solutions for our clients.

You should also know that W&Y recognizes potential not problems. This is why we offer all the services that clients need to build and maintain a successful business, such as marketing, governmental relations, accounting, real estate and banking, as well as law.

We represent a new breed of professionals organized to serve your company's needs in a comprehensive, yet personal and efficient manner.  Our alternative billing philosophy recognizes that our clients are willing to pay for services based upon the value of services rendered, including consideration of the results obtained.

We are part of a network of lawyers and professionals throughout the south prepared to handle all of your business needs, without unnecessary overhead, bureaucracy and expense.

All W&Y clients, including business owners and entrepreneurs, can take advantage of the firm's Alternative Billing structure that rewards results, not billable hours.

About Alternative Billing:

As a convergent law practice, W&Y recognizes the integration of business and law. Alternative approaches to billing facilitates that convergence.

Unlike hourly billing, alternative billing offers clients a value-based fee structure that gives certainty and shares risk. The inherent conflict in hourly billing is that it encourages lawyers to bill as many hours as possible.

At W&Y, we work with clients in advance to create a fee structure that is efficient, value-based, certain and that rewards results. We feel that alternative billing is the future of the legal industry and a priority at W&Y.
