Session I – Mastering Billable Hours: Essential skills for new attorneys

As attorneys, we provide services for our clients. We do good and we work hard. If you work in the private sector, however, you must also track the time you spend doing the work that you do in a way that can be captured and translated to revenue for your firm. This is an essential part of growing as a lawyer.

Key topics to be discussed:

  • How to estimate your time
  • How to manage your time to maximize output
