Law Technology Today From the ABA Legal Technology Resource Center
Law firm financials can be a challenge to manage lawyers who were not directly trained in accounting, especially solo and small firm practitioners who are directly liable for their firm’s bookkeeping. Specific rules and regulations govern receipts, payables, reconciliations, ledgers, reporting, and more. Compliance is essential and the penalties for infractions are severe for legal professionals. The key to mastering the financials of your firm and having peace of mind while continuing to serve your clients is understanding the core of Accounting, Billing, and Compliance. Learning objectives:
- Understand the basics of Legal Accounting, Billing, & Compliance
- Learn to overcome common challenges of managing and reporting law firm financials
- How can technology help track and analyze your finances?
