Share in the Risk Programsm

With Vision’s Share in the Risk Litigation Defense Programsm (“SIR”) we actually share in your risk in the event of employment law litigation. Why? Because we have confidence in our preventive advice. Litigation can be very expensive, and we believe that as a PFP or LCP client we put you in the best possible position to avoid litigation, and to win when it’s not avoidable. So under the SIR Program, if we win the case for you, we earn our full litigation fee. If we lose the case, our fee is dramatically reduced.

You’re Protected When We Defend You

If an employee sues your company and you have Vision Law Corporation attorneys represent you, we will share in the risk of an adverse result at trial. Here’s how the program works:

Litigation Rate: For litigation defense work, we charge our normal litigation hourly rate.

Holdback Amount: We set aside a portion of the total hourly fee as a “holdback amount”:

  • 20% for non PFP/LCP clients
  • 40% for Vision PFP/LCP subscribers

Base Rate: Our litigation rate, minus the applicable holdback amount, is our base rate:

  • 80% of our litigation hourly rate for non PFP/LCP clients
  • 60% of our litigation hourly rate for PFP/LCP subscribers

Your business pays the applicable base amount, plus any soft and hard costs, on a monthly basis as litigation fees are incurred. We may require an initial retainer to hold in a trust Small Businessaccount until completion of the litigation matter.

Sharing Your Risk Means We Put Our Money Where Our Mouth Is

Here’s how the SIR Program works, based on outcome:

  • If we win your case, you pay 100% of the holdback
  • If your case ends in a draw, you pay 50% of the holdback
  • If we lose your case, we write off the entire holdback amount and you pay none of the holdback

In the event of a loss or a draw, Vision PFP or LCP subscribers will pay less. These clients receive the benefit of our regular advice and consulting services. Therefore, we are confident that they will be exposed to lower potential legal risks, and that these clients will be in a better position to win if sued. (Note: the definitions of “win,” “lose,” and “draw,” are specified in the Vision SIRSMsm Agreement.).
