A multiplier reflects the risk that the attorney will lose the case and collect nothing. The idea is that if the lawyer isn’t compensated for the risk ex post, he won’t have the incentive ex ante to engage in the risk.

why x1.5 though?
Is that to cover for expenses outside the normal fee?

But a great step, and a massive slap in the face of the other lawyers in the case.

How refreshingly reasonable.

If THAT was the normal behaviour by lawyers, support for this site would dry up.
