Subject: Re: [RM] Paralegal Annual Billable Hours

Rich,
I don't have personal experience with avg. billable hours for NY law firm paralegals.  However, Esquire Group
<http://www.esquiregroup.com/2007staffingreport.pdf>
reports on paralegals in general on page 20 of its 2007 Staffing Report:
   While most paralegals time is billed, the majority of them do not have a
   minimum billable requirement, however. 60% of the paralegals survey reported
   they do NOT operate under a minimum billable hours requirement. For the 40%
   who do, the average billable requirement is 1479. This is consistent with the
   findings of Legal Assistant Today, which reported that the largest group of
   paralegals had a minimum requirement of somewhere between 1401–1600
   hours.

Law student group
<http://www.betterlegalprofession.org>
reported legal billable hours for Manhattan firms last October.  Perhaps they have access to
paralegal billable hours, too?  You could also pose the question to some of the following websites:

    Vault.com
<http://www.vault.com/search/searchresult.jsp?keyword=paralegal>
    US Dept. of Labor paralegal statistics
<http://www.bls.gov/oes/current/oes232011.htm#st>
    American Association for Paralegal Education
<http://www.aafpe.org/>
    Legal Assistant Management Association
<http://paralegalmanagement.org/>
    American Bar Association
<http://www.abanet.org/>
    National Association of Legal Assistants
<http://www.nala.org>
    National Federation of Paralegal Association
<http://www.paralegals.org/>
    LEGAL ASSISTANT TODAY

Good luck,
