Agility Academy

It is essential for all legal professionals to have an understanding of how billing applies to their jobs. A law office’s ability to accurately bill clients is dependent on each legal professional’s adherence to proper billing practices. This workshop will discuss legal billing and the Uniform Task-Based Management System. The first major area of legal work addressed by the System is litigation. This workshop will discuss the Litigation Code Set and definitions developed by a tripartite effort of the American Bar Association Section of Litigation, the American Corporate Counsel Association, and a group of major corporate clients and law firms coordinated and supported by Price Waterhouse LLP. The System enables lawyers to budget and bill by litigation task, aiding client and counsel in understanding, managing and conducting litigation. It is intended to cover all contested matters, including judicial litigation, binding arbitration and regulatory/administrative proceedings.
