In Aftermath of Hurricane Irma, Florida Law Firms Suffer Delays in Collections and Billing

Jerry Sokol, as Miami office managing partner, said that even though larger law firms are less impacted by a disaster like Hurricane Irma, they may still temporarily affected. “Certainly productivity was down in September as everyone prepared for the hurricane and the aftermath, which is obviously the priority,” Mr. Sokol noted. “Whenever there’s a hurricane, productivity is going to take a hit. But the ability to work remotely mitigates the ability to bill.”
