Mattern & Associates Launches the 2012 Cost Recovery Survey and Announces Informational Webinar Thursday, March 29

Legal support services consulting firm Mattern & Associates, LLC (www.matternassoc.com) today announced that it has officially launched its 2012 Cost Recovery Survey. First conducted in 2004, the bi-annual Cost Recovery Survey performed by Mattern & Associates is an industry-recognized and trusted source for law firms to compare their firm's performance in the recovery of costs; the 2012 Survey promises to be the most rewarding Survey to date for participants.

Nicholas J. Willmott, Chief Financial Officer of Kirkland & Ellis LLP, remarked, "The Mattern & Associates Cost Recovery Survey is the most comprehensive snapshot of cost recovery trends and practices available in the legal field. Kirkland participated in the Survey in 2008 and 2010 and will again in 2012. It is well worth the time and effort, and benefits our firm."

Participating firms receive an insightful, customized report comparing their firm's cost recovery practices to industry benchmarks; survey details are broken down by firm size and geographic location. Mattern & Associates hs refined the Survey this year to both improve the experience and continue to increase the quality and relevance of the results.

"We began this research into cost recovery practices eight years ago because there was a clear need for law firms to know how their peers were approaching cost recovery," said Rob Mattern, President of Mattern & Associates. "That need has never been more important than it is now. We are pleased to see participation in the Survey grow every year as well as the importance and regard for the results the Survey produces."
