Lead Markup

The practice by some mass tort marketing vendors of charging law firms more per lead than the underlying media cost, pocketing the spread as undisclosed profit. Lead markup is a primary driver of cost-per-case inflation in the industry and is structurally misaligned with client interests. The transparent 15% management fee model used by MTAA eliminates lead markup entirely.
