  • A billing error can be a disaster for legal professionals, especially for solo practitioners and small firms that account for most malpractice claims. Whether it’s billing for nonexistent matters, for more than 24 hours in a day, or for small errors here and there due to poor billing judgment, it’s important for legal practitioners to be mindful of how bad billing practices can impact their business and what they can do to prevent it.

    This webinar addresses how attorneys—from solo practitioners and attorneys from small firms all the way to attorneys from BigLaw—can mine their own data to look for behavioral patterns that indicate the potential risk of malpractice or client dissatisfaction.
