Factors Affecting Law Firm Profitability
Profitability? Isn't that just billing lots of hours?
While the billable hour is still a key performance indicator for most law firms, many firms are starting to look beyond the gross revenue line to insure profitability, and remain competitive in the marketplace.

- compensation,
- attorney/staff ratios,
- outsourcing, and
- automation of repetitive and non-billable tasks.
This should be a very interesting discussion, as we will be looking at some of the options for positively impacting the overall cost of law firm's work product.
