FREE CLE: Vanishing Hours, Vanishing Trust: The Billing and Trust Account Blind Spots Costing Firms Money (and Bar Cards)

When did billing become the thing lawyers dread most?

Here’s a stat that would stop most of us mid-scroll: firms lose an estimated 15–30% of their daily billable revenue not due to difficult clients or inefficient processes, but because they fail to properly capture their time. 

We know why this happens. Billing often sits at odds with the reason most of us went to law school in the first place: to help people, not to nickel-and-dime them. That instinct is admirable. It's also, unfortunately, the same blind spot that can open the door to trust accounting exposure, misapplied funds, delayed disbursements, and recordkeeping gaps that put good firms and good lawyers at real compliance risk.

This isn't a lecture about discipline, nor is it a stale re-reading of the rules of professional conduct. It's a conversation about the psychology behind underbilling, and what to do about it starting your very next business day. These are clearly mapped out considerations for review and actionable steps you can take to protect your firm so that you can keep doing the work that actually matters. 

Join attorney Jordan Turk for a session built for legal professionals who want to protect their practice without compromising the values that brought them to it.

Here's what you'll walk away with:

• The ethical issues most likely to trigger grievances and sanctions around billing and trust accounting, and how to steer clear of them
• A clear-eyed way to quantify the true cost of billing loss, realization-rate erosion, write-offs, revenue leakage, and how those same patterns create compliance risk
• The possible psychological roots of underbilling, and why software, reminders, and firm mandates alone rarely fix it if you don’t address underlying issues first
• Five zero-cost actions you can implement immediately to protect both your revenue and your ethical standing

You didn't become a lawyer to lose sleep over your billing software. You became one to help your clients and your community. This session helps you do both, sustainably.
