are there any laws or regulations specifically related to attorneys?
probably not, but you can start with the US Dept of Labor regulations
concerning payroll and time records. . Secondly you would need to review
the operational/administrative/financial/legal/historical requirements for
these records.
now I've stayed in a Holiday Inn (just checked out a few hours ago), but
that doesn't mean I'm conversant on law firm retention requirements, but I
would imagine that you would want to keep the time records related to
specific cases in case the client wants to audit them or challenge the
invoice they've received
