It's been over 20 years since corporate legal departments publicly asked for alternative fees when DuPont Legal began the trend with its convergence model. The former general counsel for DuPont and current partner at Ballard Spahr, Tom Sager, was the frontrunner in implementing alternative fee arrangements, or AFAs, and said "the impetus for this was a mass tort explosion confronting DuPont and with it the compelling need to drive efficiency, reduce costs and incentivize the firms for outstanding results." During his time at DuPont, Sager's team converted 70 percent of its matters at its high-water mark, he said. These were not discounted hourly rates; instead, the AFAs were either a flat fee or a flat fee with a holdback and contingency bonus. Over time, some companies followed DuPont's lead, but the real push for AFAs occurred after the 2008 financial crisis and recession. Since then, corporations have become increasingly more budget-conscious and have requested value-based billing.
