Managing Hard Economic Times As A Small-Firm Lawyer - Above the Law
Briefly

Law firms, regardless of size, must proactively manage economic fluctuations to thrive. Smaller law firms can adopt specific strategies during economic downturns, such as timely invoicing and maintaining productivity. By sending invoices promptly and following up on overdue payments, firms can alleviate cash flow issues when clients are slow to pay. Additionally, lawyers should seek to keep themselves busy during slow periods to maintain productivity and avoid the trap of over-billing existing clients, which is unproductive in the long run. These strategies will help ensure stronger outcomes during economic challenges.
Law firms must navigate economic fluctuations strategically; smaller firms particularly benefit from a focus on effective invoicing and keeping their teams productive.
To ensure timely payments, law firms should prioritize invoicing to maintain financial stability during downturns when clients may delay payments.
