IMHO, it's high time to stop paying lawyers, accountants, notary publics (in Germany) and similar professions in percentages. There is no way a bunch of lawyers deserves that kind of payout.

Set maximum billable rate at minimum wage. That seems only fair solution. It is enough for many workers, should be enough for anyone.

Who gets to decide how much everybody "deserves" for their work? Answer, the payer and the payee.

You don't get what you deserve, you get what you negotiate.

Or, in this case, what you potentially can sue for? Nothing here was negiotated as far as I can tell.
