| Question of the Week What reasons have your clients given you for not paying bills on time? This week, we noted a story about a client who failed to pay the law firm Winston & Strawn nearly $500,000 in legal bills. Among his explanations for nonpayment over a period of months were that lightning struck his house, frying his computer; and that he needed to pay via a wire from Abu Dhabi, which could take a couple of days. So this week, we’d like to ask: What reasons have your clients given you for not paying bills on time? How have you handled it? Answer in the comments. Read the answers to last week’s question: What gifts are you giving your co-workers this season? Featured answer: Posted by PHOSITA: “The firm has an annual white-elephant gift exchange. The first year I was here, I brought a practical juicer. The second year, I brought a lantern (I thought it was cool). I’ve learned by now that people at my firm like to drink because half the gifts were related to drinking. This year, I’m bringing a set of reusable stone ‘ice cubes.’” |
