Any firms charge no-shows / have a provision in their fee agreements about reserving the right to do so? I get that we aren’t healthcare, but I work from home more and more now. So when I drag my ass to the office because a client wanted an in person meeting, and 38 min later, they aren’t here, it’s frustrating

I haven’t, but have had similar thoughts recently. Probably because I had two no shows in a week.

We do not have a policy like this, but I completely understand where you’re coming from. We do have minimum billings for certain items in the fee agreement, like in office meetings, so I suppose if it became an issue I could use that as a fall back to charge to recoup some of the time wasted waiting for a no show client. Thus far it has not come up.

This is a new client with a pre-decree new filing. She want(s/ed) help with financials and refused to meet virtually.

We’re mountain time (eastern minus 2). So when she scheduled for 10:30 (I give everyone a 15 minute grace period) but when I went in at 10:45 to cancel, knowing Clio would text her, I was gonna tell her if she showed up that I had to move on at 11:45. Nothing work related, and I worked on other shit.

I’m just mostly upset that I coulda stayed home and watched USA v Iran on a television and had to stream it on a computer screen. First world problems really.

Need advice! I’m currently interviewing for an account executive role and there’s a couple of red flags that have come up. 1. They aren’t able to tell me when I would have to relocate for the remote role I applied for. 2. Midway through the interviews—-the team decided to bump me down to a level lower which changes the base salary and commission. The recruiter is also unable to disclose why the team made that decision which makes me uncomfortable. What would you recommend?

Is it important to offer support staff that speak a foreign language or is it sufficient if the attorney can communicate with the client? We had one bilingual paralegal and another who is not. The bilingual one left us some time ago.

Thus, we are left with one who can’t communicate with about 25% of our clients. And there just isn’t enough revenue to support two paralegals despite my partner pushing us to hire.
