In our experience, most IP clients do not value paying for expensive overhead items, such as:
     ●  prestigious high-rent downtown addresses in New York or DC;
     ●  opulent atriums, polished marble flooring, and fine wood paneling;
     ●  hordes of under-utilized salaried staff.

In contrast to many IP firms, to keep our fees down, we tend to:
     ●  work from home or the client's premises;
     ●  purchase meeting space only when needed; and
     ●  contract for assistance on an as-needed basis.
