Ditching Hourly

Legal operations advisor and law professor Mitch Kowalski joined me on Ditching Hourly to talk about innovation in the legal profession, including alternatives to hourly billing.

Talking Points
  • The history of hourly billing in the legal profession
  • Transparency in pricing (and why hourly billing isn't transparent at all)
  • The perverse incentives of hourly billing
  • Why billing hourly short changes you if you are good at what you do
  • The importance of breaking a big project into small chunks
  • Why lawyers remain in the “dark ages,” technologically speaking
  • The mental health effects of hourly billing
  • ”Working toward the price”
  • Price as an initial design constraint
  • Reverse engineering your costs to support your desired pricing

Hope to see you there!
