Billing Rates and Practices: A Regional Perspective
Who would have thought that the Florida Billing Survey would be such a popular product? It’s regional, rather than national, in scope. And yet it covers the hourly rates of 171 Florida attorneys, listed by name, firm, and title. Over 35 Florida firms are represented in this report, which comes from Miami-based newspaper, The Daily Business Review.
The data was culled from attorney fee petitions filed in federal and state courts, mostly in South Florida, between June 2006 and August 2007 and shows what these lawyers and law firms sought to charge for a specific case - specifically on bankruptcy, commercial litigation and other types of civil legal services. In their fee petitions to the courts, some law firms disclose the range of hourly rates for all the attorneys in the firm. For other firms, the listed range represents the highest and lowest rate that could be found in court documents for that firm. Therefore, rate ranges for some firms may be incomplete.
The 2007 Florida Billing Survey is available in the Lists & Rankings section of ALM Research Online. Reports are available for both 2006 and 2007.
