Billing, time management and timekeeping are often difficult for attorneys. Most clients ask for estimates. Underestimate your time and you will have an unpleasant conversation with your client about excess charges. Overestimate your time and you will have an unpleasant conversation with your partners and colleagues about time that could have been billed but wasn’t. Finding the right balance is essential to success for any new lawyer working for a law firm (even if you are the only lawyer in your firm). The billable hour or flat fee is the product of a law firm. Learn best practices for billing and collections. How these are managed can be the difference between success and failure personally and as a business.
