The Solo and Small Firm Billing Problem
Multiple large-scale studies show that fee earners in small law firms are billing, on average, only 2.5 hours per day. Outlandish, right? Many attorneys work 12-hour days — how could they only bill for two of them?
Smokeball set out to learn: Are fee-earners really only billing 2.5 hours a day? And if so, how can we solve the problem?
This free guide covers:
- How fee-earners can bill an additional 2 hours a day, on average
- How each fee earner in your law firm can bill an additional $137,000 per year
- How to bill more without charging your clients more
- Why tracking billable hours is just as important for fixed fee and contingent earners as it is for hourly firms
