In the legal world, time is our currency. Despite money being a critical part of law practice, many attorneys falter when it comes to billing and collecting payment from their clients. Inputting hours and billing (and collecting on those invoices) do not have to be the burdens that they once were. Imagine a world where your billing is seamless, accurate, and automated – giving you more time to focus on what truly matters: your clients.  

Technology now exists to make life easier, from streamlining prebills to sending out payment reminders. This CLE webinar will guide you through the most effective billing strategies, including tips on what to do when you have way too much aged receivables on your books, as well as tips and tricks for cutting your invoice time in half.  

In this CLE webinar, you’ll learn:
a. How to automate and streamline your billing processes to make your billing run like clockwork
