With a paradigm shift moving away from the billable unit in the offing, the following anonymous comments received from an anonymous Minter Ellison spy yesterday will no doubt add fuel to the fire:
… the vagaries of Minter Ellison billing narrations are probably a major part of what has provoked the corporate community to ask for wholesale changes to billing structures, such as fixed costs models. … what on earth is “strategy advice”? Is it a “strategic” bathroom break in which a partner ponders how best to fudge his time sheet? These opaque narrations should be queried by corporate clients who should also demand a shift away from a model that allows partners to record seven-figure salaries with such ease…
Do you have a favourite narration to get you out of a “low-billing” day?
