Webinar: The Top 10 Billing and IOLTA Mistakes Attorneys Make
February 25 @ 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm
1.0 Hour MCLE; 1.0 Hour Ethics Credit
This webinar is hosted by the California Lawyers Association and the San Benito Bar Association.
Despite the fact that billing for your time and trust accounting are the lifeblood of a legal practice, many attorneys fall short in these areas. Invoices are sent out haphazardly; time is not logged until an end-of-the-month scramble where you end up trying to recreate what you did three Tuesdays ago; you get challenges to your fees (including the dreaded chargeback); you forget to reconcile your trust account monthly. What’s more, a misstep in these areas can result in grievances and threats to your law license.
Whether you’re a solo, managing a small firm, or just trying to keep your IOLTA in check (hello, CTAPP), this MCLE is your roadmap to avoiding the most common (and costly) missteps that land attorneys in hot water with the bar.
Join attorney Jordan Turk as she takes you through what not to do, how to clean up your existing practices, and how to build systems that help keep you ethical, compliant, and confident. In this MCLE webinar, you’ll learn:
How to automate your billing processes to make your billing run like clockwork
