The billable hour has stood as the standard for legal billing for generations. However, the 2023 State of the Legal Market report highlights a shift… AFAs are billing models that deviate from the traditional approach by focusing on value rather than time. Coupled with the rise of technologies like generative AI and evolving client expectations, fresh conversations are being sparked about how law firms should define and deliver value in an ever-changing landscape. Explore why 79% of law firms rely on the billable hour, the growth of AFAs and how AI is set to transform legal billing practices: https://lnkd.in/gBA_kTZV #billable #law #legal #AFA #billablehour #ai #artificialintelligence

"Hey running man, would you like to chat about Jesus Christ?" Not what I expected to hear on a run down the canal this morning. Although, 9k into a 10k, the temptation to stop for a breather and chat was high. And I've had far worse shouted at me. Slap Head, Chicken Legs, that sort of thing. No such issues last week on a nice coastal 🏃♂️ with old school pal and Distinct | North America Finance Director, Leanne Gelderd. Here's the other highlights from our "Strategy Days" down in Cornwall. - Listening to Joel Stevenson proclaiming he could eat 10 fried eggs in a minute. And then conveniently being late for breakfast both mornings. - Windy walks with great views. - Watching CEO James Calder fall flat on his backside on one such walk. - Watching some very good recruiters surf very badly - Relaxing Massages for those that were too sensible to be in the Atlantic Ocean in November. - Great food - thanks Watergate Bay Hotel - And obviously some work chat. But not a Powerpoint or Excel spreadsheet in sight. Sometimes it's just good to get away. Relax. Recharge. And chat about how we can continue to improve life at Distinct. We're hiring in both our US and UK offices. Fire me a message if you'd like to know more.
