Practice Essentials: Keeping Time, Getting Paid, and Trust Account Management

When it comes to the practice of law, always remember: hope is not a viable strategy, and your license shouldn’t hinge upon a spreadsheet. Law school didn’t teach us how to track time, send compliant invoices, or manage trust accounts, but in real life, nothing puts a New York attorney’s license (or livelihood) at risk faster than sloppy billing practices or trust accounting mistakes.

This CLE, led by attorney Jordan Turk, will guide you through the most effective billing strategies for law firms, including tips for tracking hours and what to do when you have way too much aged receivables on your books, as well as tips and tricks for easier trust account reconciliation. 

In this CLE webinar, you’ll learn:  

• How to automate and streamline your billing and time tracking processes to run like clockwork  
• The most common ethical issues with billing and trust practices, and how to avoid them  
• War stories from attorneys who ended up on the wrong side of a disciplinary action  
• Live demonstration of how billing and trust accounting technology works
