Pricing is structured to meet individual
needs of clients
- Initial meeting – no charge.
The purpose for an initial meeting is to gain our own perspective
of the specific issues. These meetings are approximately one
hour and a good opportunity for prospective clients to ask relevant questions about
THOMPSON experience with their particular situation. Following
this initial meeting, a DRAFT "Letter of Understanding" is prepared and forwarded
for review and determination that it represents a clear depiction
of the project, time lines and associated expenses. If it
does, then the project proceeds. Bottom line, the client
is in control.
- Typical consulting engagements – hourly fees are based on complexity of the assignment and
location(s). Most fees include all travel and other related
business expenses (in NJ). Call for specifics as they relate
to your particular needs.
- Project based pricing available
or flat fee as desired by the client.
- Expert witness documents and testimony – fees are based upon nature of assignment and expertise required
to provide substantive material or testimony.
- Speaking engagements – professional fees depend on location,
extent of presentation, topic and repeat engagements or additional
assignments.
Terms and conditions
- Work is performed on a retainer compensation model based on the current hourly fee (which includes related local business travel expenses) and a specific retainer. We monitor time allocated for assignments against the retainer. If, as work progresses, it appears that our involvement will exceed the retainer, then the retainer will be replenished. If work is concluded and there remains a portion of the initial or any subsequent unused retainer, that money will be returned directly to you. In other words, you maintain full control of the total project investment.
We understand the concern that some clients
may have for becoming involved in extensive contractual engagements.
We believe this is a result of bad experiences with poor performance outcome issues. Why pay for something or someone that is not performing as promised?
Why should you pay for someone who is not doing the job they
said they would do? We are prepared "to earn the right
to handle our clients’ business" every day. Therefore, clients may terminate projects
at any time, for any reason, with no questions asked - Guaranteed in writing!
