You're comparing apples and oranges. A lawyer working with small clients doesn't have nearly the ability to bill hours as a software consultant. Our specialized software consultants would bill 50 hours a week for months at a stretch. 50 hours might be all the legal work a lawyer does for a client in a whole year. The price of that fact is baked into the hourly rate.
