Great WSJ Article On Alternative Fees
Today's Wall Street Journal contains an excellent article by Ashby Jones on alternative fees. The article can be obtained here (sub. req.). Yours truly is referred to in the article, which makes it a must-read. The Journal's law blog also has a related piece here.Here the real potential for these stories. Jeff Carr, the General Counsel of FMC Technologies, is one of the leading thinkers in the area of alternative fees. (Quick disclosure--Jeff is a friend and a client.) He has been arguing that alternative fee arrangements will become more popular when CEOs and CFOs read more about them and start to ask questions based on what they are reading. If that hypothesis is sound, perhaps the Journal article will have some impact. Only time will tell.
