Some Australian law firms are introducing alternative billing options due to pressure from clients, although most firms still use billable hours. The bi-annual law partnership survey of "The Australian Financial Review" indicates that firms such as Gadens, Clayton Utz, Gilbert + Tobin and Baker & McKenzie have billable targets of between six and seven hours a day. Johnson Winter & Slattery does not have billable hours targets because of the risk of compromising the quality of legal work.
