What You’ll Learn

The Law Firm Financial Report Card focuses on six essential financial metrics, providing a thorough overview of your firm’s performance. These key areas include:

1. Attorney Capacity: Assess the potential revenue for each attorney by factoring in their billable hours and hourly rates.
2. Attorney Utilization: Evaluate how much of that potential was realized by measuring the actual billable hours worked.
3. Attorney Realization: Review the portion of the billable hours that were successfully invoiced.
4. Legal Collections: Monitor how much of the invoiced amount has been collected, identifying gaps where revenue may be lost.
5. Law Firm Overhead: Examine all operating expenses, excluding those related to billable staff, to gain insights into your total costs.
6. Law Firm Profitability: Calculate your firm’s profit by subtracting overhead from total revenue, with a target profit margin between 30% and 50%.
