American Law Institute Continuing Legal Education will present the webcast “Time Well Spent: Effective and Efficient Billing Techniques” on Tuesday, February 18, from noon to 1 p.m.
Billing is inevitable yet so few attorneys understand how to capture and count more of their time every day. This billing CLE, taught by attorney Molly Kremer, The Billing Coach, will teach real-world strategies for contemporaneous timekeeping, which will help boost billable hours while improving client relations, staying compliant with ABA Model Rules of Professional Conduct, and ending billing-related resistance and stress.
The Billing Coach will teach attorney what they need to know to master timekeeping, including:
• What is Billable Time? Demystify the concept of billable time so you can gain clarity on which legal tasks qualify so you can quit “confusion cutting” your time - for good. Avoid underbilling and ensure your work is valued appropriately
• Reconstructing vs. Contemporaneous Timekeeping Models: Understand the strengths and pitfalls of reconstructing time at the end of the day, week, or month versus the “gold standard” of billing: contemporaneous timekeeping. Learn unique strategies and practical tips to ensure more accurate timekeeping all while minimizing the daily stressors associated with billing.
• Overcoming Obstacles to Effective Billing: Address the all-too-common challenges of perfectionism, procrastination, people pleasing, and time management pitfalls that lead so many attorneys to cut or underbill some of their time.
• Rules of professional conduct compliance. Avoid the possibility of having your billing habits run afoul of significant ethical rules pertaining to poor timekeeping habits.
All registrants will receive a set of downloadable course materials to accompany the program including the Billing Coach’s Billing Blueprint to help attorneys more creatively justify more of their billable time.
