I lateraled to a new firm a few months ago and I’m scheduling lunch/coffee with folks in my firm to get to know people. Sometimes associates, sometimes partners, 2-3 per week. We have non-billable codes where you get sort of firm “citizenship” points, like recruitment, business development, mentoring, etc. Is there non-billable code I can assign these to so I get “credit” for them, or is this just part of being a new person? Also can I expense the meals?
