Webinar: The Top 10 Mistakes Attorneys Make with Billing and Trust Accounting (and How to Avoid Them!)
October 16 @ 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm
Free webinar! Self-study credit available.
Most attorneys didn’t go to law school to become accountants. There were no courses offered on how to input time, on how to invoice a client, and certainly nothing on how to reconcile a trust account. Yet these very subjects are what land attorneys in grievance and sanctions territory every day. Whether you’re a solo attorney juggling administrative tasks or a managing partner trying to wrangle billing across your firm, this MCLE is designed to make the money side of law a lot less confusing (and a lot more ethical).
Join attorney Jordan Turk as she takes you through some real-life legal horror stories and shares how these issues could have been prevented altogether with proper processes in place. She’ll give you the tools, templates, and real-world tips to help you eliminate poor timekeeping habits, revolutionize your invoicing procedures, and get your trust account reconciled like a pro.
In this MCLE webinar, you’ll learn:
- The biggest billing and trust accounting mistakes lawyers make
- Tips and tech that can help streamline time tracking, invoicing, and trust accounting
- The ethical implications of poor financial management
- A live demonstration of the newest benefit from your Bar, Smokeball Bill
