Recover Lost Billable Hours: The Agile and Kanban Guide for Law Firms

Every minute matters in a midsize law firm. Yet firms across Canada with 10–50 staff are losing up to 1.8 billable hours per lawyer, per day—not from underperformance, but from outdated workflows, excessive admin, and disconnected tools. With the average lawyer billing just 2.9 hours in an 8-hour day, this silent leak is draining profitability and fuelling burnout.
