Legal Management Systems: Knowing your Team's Availability

Does your Firm have departments or Practice groups for which a team leader manages and/or assigns projects to Attorneys?  Are those leaders taking advantage of the ability to easily match available resources with billable projects in Rippe & Kingston's LMS+?   

The My Time & My Team Practice Management Watchlists' Available for Work feature allows Attorneys to conveniently enter their availability.  As a result, leaders can  then easily maximize the Attorneys' billable time.   

Everybody wins!


Available for Work allows Firms to change the dynamics... Working Attorneys are required to know and understand their budgeted Billable hours (to meet Financial goals), as well as effectively plan and conveniently communicate their availability.
