On fees, the firm runs a Client Experience Initiative that includes a recurring client satisfaction study and a Client Advisory Panel that advises on management decisions, plus a formal pricing and project management department tasked with working on efficiency and transparency with clients and partners.

Bass, Berry & Sims is the exclusive Tennessee member firm of Lex Mundi, a network of independent law firms with experience in 100+ countries giving access to more than 21,000 lawyers through a single contact, and it prepared Lex Mundi's Guide to Doing Business in Tennessee. None of the pages reviewed describes a zoning, land use, or entitlements practice, lists office locations, or publishes rates, so land use experience and the relevant office should be confirmed directly.
