Billing 101, with Stafford Shepherd
Manage episode 478383183 series 3660766
On this episode of The Callover, we speak with Stafford Shepherd, the Principal Ethics and Practice Counsel of the Queensland Law Society Ethics and Practice Centre and the Legal Practitioner Director of QLS Solicitor Support Pty Ltd, a wholly owned incorporated legal practice of QLS, about the fundamentals of billing as a legal practitioner.
Billing is not just a financial practice but a critical component of maintaining clients’ trust and upholding ethical standards in the legal profession. In this conversation, we explore the ethical obligations and professional standards that govern what types of work can and can’t be billed, how to draft clear and accurate invoices and the importance of compliance with the Legal Profession Act 2007 (Qld).
