Real-World Use Cases

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Not tracking non-billable time. Understanding where non-billable hours go helps identify tasks to delegate or automate.

• Setting unrealistic utilization targets. Sustainable utilization for attorneys is 60-80%. Targeting 90%+ leads to burnout.

• Billing in full-hour increments when you could bill in 6-minute (0.1 hour) increments. Rounding down costs significant revenue over a year.

• Forgetting to include reimbursable expenses in billing. Filing fees, travel, copies, and research charges add up.
