The billable-hour system is the way most lawyers in big firms charge clients, but it serves no one. Well, almost no one. It brings most equity partners in those firms great wealth. Law firm leaders call it a leveraged pyramid.
The consulting firm will track billable hours as a percentage of total working hours he could have billed out. For example, a consultant can have 77% billable hours, 88% billable hours or even over 100% billable hours. The percentage of billable hours out of total working hours is called utilization and it is a key metric used in performance evaluation by the consulting arms of professional services firms like Deloitte and PwC.
