Truly Unbiased

The value of hiring a consultant is to bring industry-wide expertise and an in-depth knowledge to an area. The consultant leverages that expertise and experience, ensures the firm’s chosen solution is implemented, and maximizes the success of the firm’s business objective. 


This proposition fails, however, if the consultant stands to gain from the outcome – either as a service provider or if the model of payment is a percentage of savings.  

Mattern stands apart in the marketplace, not only for our expertise and experience, but because we are truly unbiased. We offer an independent and unbiased counsel, and when it comes to outcomes, we keep the firm’s best interests front and center, always.

To make good on the promise of value, Mattern ensures:

  1. All value from the engagement flows to the firm
  2. All savings from the engagement flow to the firm
  3. All options are optimized in the firm’s interest

This is the Mattern way. We serve law firms.
