[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I dont understand this. Our company is 95 percent billable hours per week for almost all employees and we easily do this within a year. Why is this hard for an attorney?[/quote] Because not all time spent working is billable. Because you might have short phone calls with 20 different clients in a day, solving big problems quickly, which takes you all day, but each client only expects to be billed for the time they know they were actually talking to you. Because your company won't pay for all the attorneys' time. Because you also have to spend time doing administrative stuff like reviewing client bills, mentoring associates, attending CLE programs, developing new clients, and so on, which isn't billable. Because not all clients will let you bill all time spent traveling. Etc.[/quote]
