The Walking Meeting
One way to get some exercise and not miss out on billable time is to hold a “walking meeting.” A walking meeting is a lot like a meeting except you are walking the whole time. During a walking meeting, you may discuss client matters with another attorney or action items with a client. One time, two attorneys from my firm went on a walking meeting and were never seen again. Their cars were in the parking lot over a year after they started their walking meeting. I was so mad about it because I was asked to cover some of their clients and I really didn’t have time.
