Clients aren’t looking for cheaper attorneys. They’re looking for clarity. They want to understand what they’re buying, what they’ll get, and why it’s worth it. They also know what AI can do — and they’re expecting to see those efficiencies from their lawyers. The billable hour doesn’t answer those questions well. It never did. It was simply the best proxy available.
That proxy is losing its grip.
Attorneys who can articulate their value in terms of outcomes — not hours — are finding that clients don’t push back on price. Because the conversation is different. They’re not defending time. They’re selling certainty and confidence.
That shift is available to you. It’s a structural change. And it’s not as far from where you are as it might feel right now.
What you’ve built over years of practice—the pattern recognition, the foresight, the ability to see what others miss—that is what clients are actually paying for. It just hasn’t always been packaged or priced that way.
We know because we built it ourselves. Eleven years ago, we stopped billing by the hour and built ADVOS on the outcomes-driven, value-based model—and spent the next decade proving it works. For the past five years, we’ve been helping other attorneys make the same shift. We’re not teaching theory. We’re sharing what we actually built.
We are Gwen Griggs and Whitney Harper, co-founders of ADVOS legal.
We are lawyers, just like you, who were once trapped in a relentless cycle of billable hours, unable to cultivate the client relationships we wanted to enjoy, and feeling chewed up and spit out by the traditional law firm model. We felt the same frustrations, the same limitations, and knew there had to be a better way.
We built our firm from the ground up, committed to building a practice we love, that loves us back – and we learned a lot of lessons the hard way in that process!
Now, we’re on a mission to help you and other lawyers break free from the tyrany of the traditional model and the expectation that it has to suck to practice law, and instead love their work and lives, and be richly rewarded by their practices.
Whitney and Gwen have tackled many of the things that are wrong in the legal industry and figured out how to measure and manage them in a way that drives a successful and profitable law firm with thriving team members."
