Fee Structure

By working together while remaining independent organizations, Goodwin Resolutions and SET Law are able to offer institutions greater flexibility in staffing matters, expanded availability, and the ability to assemble service teams tailored to the needs of a particular matter. Because we remain separate entities, we can continue to collaborate on cases while preserving independence and avoiding many of the limitations that can arise within a single-firm structure.
Who we are
This collaboration grew out of relationships developed through Justice Bridge Legal Center and our shared work supporting higher education institutions in the Colleges of the Fenway. Through those experiences, we recognized a shared commitment to fairness, responsiveness, and practical problem-solving.
