NALFA, short for the National Association of Legal Fee Analysis, is a small, not-for-profit professional association serving the legal fee analysis field. It functions as the organizing and governing body for the profession, with members who provide services related to attorney fees and legal billing matters. Based in Chicago, Illinois, the organization serves courts and clients that confront attorney fees and expenses in large, complex cases. Members include fully qualified attorney fee experts, special masters, bankruptcy fee examiners, fee dispute neutrals, and legal bill auditors, all of whom follow established best practices in legal fee analysis. Operating within the law practice sector, NALFA positions itself as a standards-setting and governance organization for fee analysis professionals. The association is structured as a 501(c)(6) entity with a small staffing footprint. A recent development noted in December 2023 describes the organization publishing analysis on factors that may explain attorney fees awarded in securities class actions involving Rule 10b-5 settlements, illustrating its role in producing professional analysis used in fee-related matters by courts and clients.
