You always bill it and it’s up to the partner to write off depending on client billing rules. But why would you ever sacrifice billable time?
From the moment you get it of your chair, to the moment you are back sitting
Yes, for time in car, walking, etc. (provided you were not on a billable call for another client). No for time on planes when you did or could have worked (or at least surface it with me, there are still some clients who will let you bill for that, but it’s pretty rare).
Bill your time, but be ethical about it. Other than an ethics issue, there is nothing worse than an associate who cuts their own time. I can’t get the client to pay for it if you don’t bill it. Then I don’t get credit for origination on it, you don’t get credit for bonus.
Always
Absolutely but the one rule that I was told is not to bill for travel if it’s first thing in the morning. You’re essentially traveling to the courthouse instead of the office but the client doesn’t pay for that. I bill for travel back or both ways if it’s mid day.
My firm’s approach is that you can bill travel time when you physically can’t work (going through security, walking time, etc.) but that if you’re sitting on a train or plane you should only bill to the extent you’re actually working. I understand this is consistent with most of our clients’ outside billing guidelines.
I get this but also, who can work for hours straight in a small airplane seat smushed between two people and with all the other plane distractions? I bill it unless I’m actually working, which I cant sustain for more than an hour or two on each flight.
I will parse it out so the partners can see and make the call. I.E. “travel to/from (1.5) and argue motion for summary judgment (.9)”
Yes of course
ALWAYS
Absolutely.
Yes
Yes, but I'll "carve out" time If I do work on another matter during the wait, or I stop for coffee on the way or something like that.
Zoom hearings have been great in that respect. My clients like not having to pay me to travel there and back and I can get other work done while I'm waiting so I don't typically have to pay for the full block of time.
