The October issue of Law Practice Today is focused on fee collection, with numerous articles containing practical tips to ensure your clients will pay your bills. The authors advocate being proactive in setting policies, billing and communicating with your clients about your bills, and note that suing for fees should be your last resort. As explained by Phillip D. Fraim, in the article, The Hazard: Suing to Recover Fees, bringing a claim against a client for unpaid fees may well result in a claim against you alleging malpractice. The Canadian Lawyers Insurance Association provides loss prevention information solely for the benefit of CLIA insured lawyers. The content and links provided in Loss Prevention eBytes are intended as resources to qualified lawyers who should exercise due care and their professional judgment in adapting or making use of any content.
