[quote=Anonymous]"If you want to hire master service person X, who has X established hourly rates, do you say, "I don't need all of your expertise, so I'll pay you only half of your regular rates." " yeah, actually we do that all the time in my job. Technically the law firm agrees to cap the fees and do the project for a specified fixed cost. They like to tally up the actual hours at the end to show us what a deal we got. The reality is that we would not be willing to pay the full rate for those lawyers that they would normally change which is why we asked "Would you be willing to do the project for $X?" rather than simply hiring them at their full rate or declining to work with them since they are too expensive. Normally, the firms accept. So "bartering" as you like to call it, PP, is not unheard of in the regular business world. [/quote]
