Built by legal professionals with decades of combined experience
About Us
At AltFee, we believe there’s a better way for your law firm to price services—one that brings freedom, fairness, and fulfillment to legal professionals, law firms, and clients alike. We know firsthand the frustration of an outdated billable hour model that not only caps your firm’s growth but also penalizes you for becoming more efficient. It’s a model that often leaves legal professionals feeling undervalued and clients feeling uncertain. AltFee was founded to change that story.
Our Story
Our journey began with a mission: to transform the way law firms engage with their clients and value their work. It all started with our very first project at DL&Co., where we helped them transition to alternative fees through a manual approach. We saw firsthand how shifting away from the billable hour opened the door to a more transparent, rewarding, and client-centric way of doing business. That realization fuelled our commitment to build a solution that could help firms like yours across the globe unlock a more fulfilling way of working.
We’ve come a long way since then, but one thing hasn’t changed—our passion for helping law firms break free from the limitations of hourly billing. From launching our platform to a group of early AltFee Trailblazers, to being named a finalist in the Clio Integration Awards, and even winning the American Bar Association TechShow Startup Pitch Competition, our journey has been driven by one simple goal: to empower you to build a more sustainable, rewarding, and client-focused business.
Our Mission
At AltFee, our mission is clear: to improve the legal experience, for everyone. We envision a world where your law firm is no longer bound by the constraints of hourly billing, where you can price services with transparency, flexibility, and confidence. Our software is designed to enable your firm to become more efficient without sacrificing revenue, so you can align better with your clients’ needs, build stronger relationships, and create a more enjoyable workplace for your team.
For your clients this means clearer pricing upfront, and for your team it means reclaiming the joy in practice, focusing on delivering exceptional outcomes.
Why AltFee?
The legal industry is at a turning point. Firms that stick exclusively to the billable hour model face diminishing returns as they become more efficient, while clients demand greater transparency in pricing. We know that our profession deserves more than a system that measures value by the hour—we deserve a model that rewards expertise, innovation, and genuine client outcomes.
AltFee offers your firm a pathway to that future. Our software doesn’t just help you transition to fixed-fee pricing—it’s designed to support your entire journey, from onboarding to ongoing optimization. We’ve lived the challenges of the legal industry ourselves, as founders with extensive experience working as legal professionals and running law firms, and we’ve embedded that understanding into every feature of our product.
We also recognize that change can be daunting. That’s why we’re more than just a software provider; we’re your partner. From personalized support to detailed tutorials, we’re here to guide you every step of the way, ensuring that your firm not only adopts fixed-fee pricing but thrives with it.

We believe in listening to your feedback, continually improving, and evolving our product to meet your needs. Our goal is to be more than a tool; we aim to be your trusted partner, helping your law firm adopt a better way of doing business and succeed in the long term.
