Do you have a billable hour requirement?

This is the legal billing training program to guarantee your success!

  • Increase your job security

    It's a cold, hard truth - the more money you make for the law firm, the more valuable you are to the firm.

  • Make more money

    If your bonus or raise depends on you hitting a billable hour target number, this billable hour course will help you achieve that.

  • Save time on drafting

    We take the mystery out of drafting time entries that show the real value of the work you did.

Billable Hour Training

TAKE THE MYSTERY AND THE STRESS OUT OF BILLING YOUR TIME

You've been told that you have to bill 1,800 hours per year to client files, but no one shows you HOW to do that. 

You're not alone. It's been like that for decades.

We're changing that.

With the Billable Hour Boot Camp's course and coaching program, you will be able to 

  • easily increase your billable hours (even when work is slow!)
  • know how to draft time entries that show the real value of the work you did (reduced write-offs!), and
  • be more productive than ever before (so you can get out of the office sooner!). 


This is unlike other legal billing training programs that merely offer some "tips and tricks" and general "billable hour best practices." 

Instead, we show you a PROVEN FRAMEWORK to understand exactly how to achieve your billable hour goal consistently every year.

This course was worth every minute. I have transferred from an in-house role to a role as a litigation paralegal at a firm. I am very busy and therefore will only make time for courses that provide practical and genuinely helpful advice. This course was well worth my time. My billing has increased significantly thanks to Ann's tips.

Course was excellent, with many takeaways and no “fluff”! Practical, actionable changes were taught, all of which can be implemented immediately in my practice. While I am not a Paralegal (I’m a Legal Nurse Consultant) all of the material covered was relevant and I will highly recommend this course to my fellow LNC colleagues.

Billable Hour Boot Camp

The webinar includes several bonuses valued at $2,000+

  • Billable Hour Calculator

    You receive the Microsoft Excel file to download and use from your computer. This calculator allows you to plan how many actual work hours and billable hours are available every month after it factors in holidays, vacations, and other important numbers.

  • Live Coaching Calls

    We want to make sure you have the best year ever. Included with your course access, we will be hosting several live coaching calls throughout the year to answer all of your questions and support you throughout the year.

  • More Calculators

    In addition to our Billable Hour Calculator, you will also receive downloadable Excel files to use to calculate and improve your daily productivity and utilization numbers. These are key indicators that your employers are looking at along with that billable hour number. You will be able to use them to make sure you are on track to increasing your billable hours.

Why Your Billable Hours Matter

Your billable hours are more important than you might think.

Your job security is directly linked to your billable hours.

Your bonus is directly linked to your billable hours.

The size of your raise is directly linked to your billable hours. 

Law firms also look at a timekeeper's billable hours to determine if the timekeeper has enough work to do.

And yet, it seems unfair because it feels like you have no control over the amount of billable work they give you.

What if we told you that you have more control than you might think?

The Billable Hour Boot Camp will show you things that you can do to increase your billable hours, some of which don't even involve you doing more billable work than you're already doing.




Who is this course for?

If you work in a law firm and are required to bill your time to client files, this legal billing course and coaching program is for you.

  • Attorneys

  • Paralegals and legal assistants

billable hour training


5 Live Webinar Training Sessions

Master everything from how to increase your billable hours, be more productive, and write better time entries. You'll go from feeling overwhelmed to confidently knowing that you will be hitting your billable hour target every year going forward from here.

Ann Pearson teaches these live sessions. 


💻  Session 1:  Take Control Of Your Time, Before It Controls You

Plan for Success with the Billable Hour Calculator

Start strong by mapping out your entire year like a pro. Our exclusive Billable Hour Calculator helps you account for holidays, vacations, and even your own productivity patterns, so you can create a realistic and doable plan to hit your goals. 

No more guesswork. No more surprises at the end of the quarter. Just clarity, confidence, and control.

The One Simple Shift That Will Instantly Boost Your Billable Hours

Think you’re doing fine by entering your time at the end of the day? Think again. This session reveals how one small habit change can result in big increases to your billable hours, without working any extra hours. 

You’ll walk away with a proven strategy to stop leaving money on the table and start getting credit for the work you're already doing.


💻  Session 2:  Stop Ghosting Your Own Time

Are You Losing Billable Hours Without Even Realizing It?
 You’re doing the work, but is it all making it onto the timesheet? This eye-opening session uncovers the sneaky ways billable time slips through the cracks. You’ll learn how to spot and stop this “ghosting” so that every hour you work is accounted for—and billable.

Productivity That Gets You Out of the Office Sooner

We’re not just increasing billable hours, we’re improving your work-life balance. Learn how to track and elevate your productivity so you’re maximizing your time at work and reclaiming your personal time. 

One small tweak to your daily workflow could be the difference between burnout and breathing room, and might just add 200 to 300 extra billable hours per year. 🔥


 💻 Session 3:  Mastering the Details That Make Or Break Your Billable Hours 

When Work Slows Down, Details Matter More Than Ever
 

If you’ve ever wondered why the work isn’t coming your way—or why your hours are dipping—this session may reveal the quiet culprit: small mistakes that erode trust and credibility. Learn how to sharpen your attention to detail and consistently deliver work that gets noticed for the right reasons.


💻 Session 4:  How to Find Billable Work - Even When It Feels Like There's None To Find 

Turn a Slow Day into a High-Earning One
Don’t wait for the work to come to you—learn how to go find it. This session gives you a step-by-step strategy to uncover hidden opportunities for billable hours, even during the slow seasons. Plus, you’ll create your own custom action plan to keep your pipeline full all year long. No more panic when your workload dips. You’ll know exactly what to do—and how to do it.

💻 Session 5:  The Art & Science of Drafting Better Time Entries

Spend less time staring at a blank screen and reduce those write-offs

This final session is where everything comes together. You’ll learn how to write time entries that communicate value to your attorney, your billing partner, and your client. Discover how to avoid the common mistakes that lead to write-offs, and instead, draft entries that help you protect your hours and your paycheck.

This was a very informative class. The best part being you can come and go as necessary to complete the program. Ann was available via e-mail or for the q&a sessions - so you were never left hanging if you had questions or needed clarification. I work in solo practitioner office so my needs were quite a bit different than in a large firm, but she helped me think in ways that would help in my particular situation. Highly recommend!!!

FAQ

  • Who is this course for?

    This course is for any legal professional who has a billable hour requirement, including associates, paralegals, litigation support professionals, staff attorneys, and more. And while it is designed for legal professionals, many others can benefit from it too - such as consultants who bill clients by the hour, architects, engineers, and other professionals who have a billable hour requirement as part of their job.

  • How will I get access to the course?

    Immediately after your purchase, you will receive an email with your Zoom link to join the webinar series. You will also receive an email with access to our online learning portal that contains the Zoom information, downloads for the course, the recordings, and more.

  • How long are each of the sessions?

    Each session is approximately 60 minutes of content, plus unlimited Q&A time with Ann Pearson. You can stay for as long as your schedule allows, but typically, those are an additional 10-15 minutes after the session concludes.

  • How long will I have access to the recordings?

    You will have access to the recordings until January 31, 2026. Why not longer? Because if you don't watch the recordings right away, then you won't see results.

  • Will I be able to download and edit the calculators?

    Yes. All of the calculators are downloaded as Excel files that you can edit and keep forever.

  • Is this a live course that meets online at a specific time?

    Yes. We meet every Tuesday at 2:00 p.m. Eastern for 5 weeks, starting on September 23, 2025. No worries if you can't attend live! You'll have access to the recordings until January 31, 2026.

  • Is the course approved for CLE credits?

    No, we are not a CLE-approval company. The only organization that can approve a course for CLE credit is the organization that you were certified through. That being said, law firms all across the country have submitted our course materials to their state bar associations for CLE approval of their associates attending our private training sessions at the firm. If you need any assistance applying for CLE credit, we are happy to help you.

  • Is there a discount to register my whole team?

    Yes. If you have more than 5 people on your team who want to enroll in the course, please contact us at [email protected] for a group discount.

  • What if I have other questions?

    You can email [email protected] if you have a question that is not answered here.

Ann Pearson

Billable Hour Coach

If you're like me (and hundreds of thousands of other legal professionals), you go to work for a law firm and you’rebillable hour coach told that you have to bill X number of hours per year to client files, but no one tells you HOW to do that.

Even though…your bonus might depend on it.

Your raise might depend on it.

Your job security might depend on it.

It might not seem fair, but your law firm is a business that has to generate a profit to survive (and to pay its employees). 

That's why I developed this billable hour training for legal professionals. 

In the Billable Hour Boot Camp, I'll give you real-world strategies to increase your billable hours, draft better time entries, and get more done in less time.
