The Oakland County Bar Association will present the webinar “Time Matters: What Attorneys Need to Know about Billing and Communication” on Thursday, August 20, from noon to 1 p.m. via Zoom.
For most lawyers, success in legal practice requires more than strong legal analysis—it also involves time tracking and robust documentation. Unfortunately, most new lawyers are not taught these vital skills in law school.
In this virtual program, participants will learn from two experienced law-firm billers the basics about how to bill time, meet and maximize billable hours, communicate with partners and clients, and handle documenting in case files. Speaking at the webinar will be Mary C. Aretha, senior research attorney-Court of Claims, Michigan Court of Appeals; and Paul Shkreli of Shkreli Legal PLLC.
Cost for the webinar is $20 for OCBA members, $15 for Professional Development Committee members, $15 for new lawyers and paralegals, $10 for OCBA students, and $40 for non-members. To register, visit www.ocba.org and click on “events.”`
