Barristers, Solicitors and Zombies

I’m tired of trying to figure out if a telephone call was a “point 1” or a “point 2,” and whether confirming an appointment, or advice given over lunch is recordable. I’m tired of trying to figure out how to bill the $8,000 my competitors are charging for an agreement that, due to my own efficiencies and experience, might only take $2,000 in time to produce.

And I’m fed up with having to deal with $13,000 worth of Work-In-Progress that the client is only prepared to pay $6,000 for. I. Hate. Billable. Hours.
