Lawyer's Coach
SERIES 7: BILLABLE HOUR
The billable hour is the marmite of the legal world. It produces a lot of what coaches describe as "black and white thinking". Many bemoan that the billable hour rewards inefficiency, stiffles innovation and leads to burn-out. Others point to it its ease of use as a metric and question whether there is anything that could realistically take its place. In this series we speak to pricing experts, private practice lawyers and in-house counsel to find out more.
