Do you bill the entire mediation time on zoom? Or just the times the mediator is speaking to you and your client? Seems odd to stop the timer every time they speak to opposing counsel & restart every time the mediator appears and obviously if you were in person you wouldn’t be able to leave

Bill! I was told as a young associate to bill for everything I do and that the partners will take care of it accordingly with the clients.

When I’m in mediation, I’m still doing work for the client even when the mediator out of sight and talking to the opposing party. Whether you’re talking to your client about the next move, the costs and risks of rolling the dice at trial, or even calming the client’s nerves while the mediator is away, it’s all billable work. Bill baby bill!

Wtf. If it was an in person mediation would you be stopping the clock during caucusing? No… you wouldn’t…

As a matter of ethics, any second you spend that meaningfully advances your client’s interests should be billed. And yes, that includes being PRESENT for a mediation.

I am a contract employee that was just brought on a month ago. I have done well with onboarding and learning their tech. I have now been asked to design an architecture for an upcoming project, and document it all. Nothing at this company has been well documented before.
