Outside Counsel Spend Management: Key Ethics Takeaways from the Twitter-Wachtel Legal Fees Lawsuit

The billing debacle at the center of the Twitter fee case between X Corp. and Wachtell Lipton provides a valuable reminder of the heightened scrutiny in attorney-client relationships due to its fiduciary nature and the rules of professional conduct. A review of the facts of the case will serve as a springboard for discussing the top best practices in-house counsel can deploy to ensure ethical billing and control costs.
