A Power of Attorney (POA) is a legal document that grants someone (the agent or attorney-in-fact) the authority to make decisions and act on behalf of another person (the principal). The person creating the POA (the principal) delegates specific powers to the agent, allowing them to manage various aspects of the principal's affairs, such as properties, finances, healthcare, or legal matters. There are different types of POAs, each serving a specific purpose: 1. **General Power of Attorney:** Grants broad authority to the agent to handle all matters on behalf of the principal. 2. **Limited or Special Power of Attorney:** Provides the agent with specific and limited powers for a particular task (specifically assigned or spelt out) or within a specified time frame. 3. **Durable Power of Attorney:** Remains effective even if the principal becomes incapacitated. This is crucial for situations where the principal may be unable to make decisions for themselves. Creating a POA is a proactive measure that allows individuals to plan for unforeseen circumstances and ensure that their affairs are managed according to their wishes. It's important to carefully consider the powers granted, choose a trustworthy agent, and understand any limitations or conditions specified in the document. Hope you learnt something new? In the next part of this write-up, we will be learning "What a POA is not." #Dextoslawhub #lawfirminlagos #propertylaw #propertylawfirm

Building on the idea that law firm finance is as simple as 𝙍𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙣𝙪𝙚 𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙪𝙨 𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙝𝙚𝙖𝙙 𝙚𝙦𝙪𝙖𝙡𝙨 𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙛𝙞𝙩, the most important #revenue metrics are #utilization, #realization and #collection. Utilization is about production relative to capacity. So you have to decide what is the capacity of a biller in a law firm, i.e. partner, associate, paralegal, etc. Most firms have budgets like 1800 billable hours a year. This times the average rate is capacity. Utilization is time worked as a percentage of capacity. An efficient firm should have a utilization rate of 95% or more. An average firm may be at 90% or less. #legaltech #lawfirm #legaltechnology #legalservices #legalinnovation Association of Legal Administrators (ALA), Association of Legal Administrators, New York City Chapter, Golden Gate Chapter, Association of Legal Administrators, Association of Legal Administrators - Boston Chapter, Association of Legal Administrators, Jacksonville, Association of Legal Administrators, Nutmeg Chapter, Association of Legal Administrators Mexico Chapter, ALA Capital Chapter, ALA Houston Chapter, ALA Chicago

Billable Hours vs Non-billable Hours: How do you ethically bill clients for paralegal work? While the ABA Model Guidelines for the Utilization of Paralegals outlines the general rules for billing for paralegal work, many law firms and attorneys still struggle when defining the exact tasks that can be billed to the client when they are completed by a paralegal. According to a landmark Missouri v. Jenkins, 491 U.S. 274 (1989) “purely clerical or secretarial tasks should not be billed to the client at a paralegal rate, no matter who performs them.” Paralegal services that can be billed include: § Document review and preparation § Legal research § Drafting legal documents § Discovery and investigation work § Case management § Trial preparation § Client communication and correspondence § Record keeping and file organization § Legal database searches § Deposition and hearing support § Attending court proceedings . However, to ensure you fully understand the guidelines set forth by your local jurisdiction, you should consult with your local state bar rules. *** Corporations and law firms hire Beyond Paralegals to put systems, processes, and technology in place to help drive client services and improve workflows for better legal and business outcomes. #wearebeyondparalegals
