Speaker: Laurence Colletti
Description:
Billing is not the glamorous life we imagined for ourselves during our law school tenure, but it’s one of the most critical aspects of running a law firm. Inputting hours and billing – and collecting on those invoices – do not have to be the burdens that they once were. Some things will always be out of your control, but you can absolutely minimize your risk of nonpayment and reduce administrative stress by automating your billing and properly managing your trust accounts.
Technology now exists to make life easier, and with more of an eye on trust compliance with your state bar. From basic strategies to utilizing billing automation with the aid of technology, this CLE is meant to take your practice to the next level. Join attorney Jordan Turk as she guides you through her most effective billing and time keeping strategies, including tips on what to do when you have way too much aged receivables on your books, as well as best practices for trust accounting.
In this CLE webinar, you’ll learn:
- How to automate your billing processes to make your billing run like clockwork
- The most common ethical issues with billing practices, and how to avoid them
- Proper trust account management and reporting, specifically addressing three-way trust account reconciliation
- Strategies for obtaining payment from nonpaying clients, including templates to help you along the way
