Component Profitability

The most significant hurdle to measuring profitability is that attorneys fear the information will only prove that they are not profitable, or not as profitable as they should be. This fear often defeats attempts to measure profitability before the effort even gets off the ground.

This session will focus on ways to measure profitability objectively to help you make decisions within various areas of practice, as well as common pitfalls to avoid.  A sample Excel spreadsheet will be provided to assist you in performing the necessary calculations.
