Lawyers have a right to be paid for the work they do.
Poor cash flow can lead good lawyers to take unnecessary financial and ethical risks. Unpaid bills can sink an otherwise solid practice. This fast-paced, participatory seminar will teach you proven, practical techniques to help you get paid for the work you do. You will gain insights into your own practices and solutions for difficult problems. You will learn the keys to getting clients to pay in advance, to pay regularly and on-time and to reduce, if not eliminate, accounts receivable.
