Welcome
to
our
daily
feature,
Quote
of
the
Day.
The
market
and
variation
is
utterly
bewildering.
Some
household
name
firms
that
are
near
and
dear
to
clients’
hearts
are
proposing
whopping
increases
over
30%
while
similarly
situated
firms
are
proposing
a
zero
percent
increase.

Jason
Winmill,
managing
partner
of
Boston
consultancy
Argopoint,
in
comments
given
to
Corporate
Counsel,
concerning
the
“scattershot”
rate
hikes
general
counsel
have
seen
across
firms.
“It’s
a
complicated,
highly
fragmented
industry
with
tens
of
thousands
of
people
making
different
decisions
every
day,”
said
Winmill,
who
has
advised
legal
departments
for
more
than
two
decades.
“Variations
in
pricing
are
are
reflected
by
geography,
by
fields
of
law
and
by
individual
practices—and
certain
practices
are
doing
better
than
others.”
