A post on Law360, on October 5 by Emma Cueto, based upon a report by the practice management software Clio, estimates that only about a third of the time attorneys spend at the office translates to billable hours.

The report notes that attorneys already work outside of normal business hours to reach billable hour goals. It suggests that more delegation of administration tasks and more face time with clients.
