We created the following 3+ minute video to demonstrate the problem with just taking one plan over the others simply because of one company’s huge, recognizable name or because your client company has other benefits with that large company. A quick look at this video might help illustrate the real differentiator in legal plans and that it lies in the connecting Plan Members to Network Attorneys. What you can see, is that when the matrices show the benefits and the attorney networks are about the same in the top three plans, the easy choice for HR is to default to the large, recognizable...
