What the Firm - Episode 08- Bills, bills, bills 

 

Join me today as I discuss one thing that most lawyers hate - the billable hour.  I dive into the history of charging legal fees and why I think the profession is due for an update.  I also discuss some important things to consider when you’re interviewing or just beginning at a new firm so you can set yourself up to meet expectations.
