Stop The Clock!
on the billable hour

Cover of Stop The Clock book

I have spent much of my career helping law firms move beyond the billable hour. Now, with AI changing the economics of legal work faster than many firms expected, the conversation has become even more urgent.

Stop The Clock! is my new book for law-firm leaders who know the old model is under pressure but want a practical route towards something better.

AI can complete in minutes work that once took hours. Clients can see it. They are asking sharper questions about efficiency, price and value. But the answer is not simply to buy another AI tool, reduce fees or carry on as though nothing has changed.

In this book, I set out how firms can move from selling time to selling outcomes. It draws on my proven 8 P Point Plan and tackles the leadership, commercial, cultural and pricing changes needed to make value-based pricing work in an AI-enabled legal world.

This is not a book about technology for technology’s sake. It is about protecting profitability, building stronger client relationships and making sure lawyers are rewarded for the value they create — not the time they happen to record.

Stop selling the hours. Start selling the outcome.
