Why NATmatica™?
Practical Solutions for REAL challenges.
As a new associate, you’re ambitious, driven—and
overwhelmed. You’ve just spent three years in law school, passed the bar, and joined a firm, only to feel like you’re constantly playing catch-up. Your time is consumed by:
Wheel-spinning: Where do I even start? What’s the best way to prepare for this deposition or draft this motion?
Lost hours: I’m working 10-12 hours a day but only
billing 7-8. Where is the rest of my time going?
Unclear expectations: How do I meet the high
standards of senior attorneys without constant hand-holding?
Career uncertainty: How do I stand out among my
peers to secure promotions, bonuses, and partnership opportunities?

What our students and partners are saying about NATmatica™
"As a young associate, the training on billing practices was invaluable in developing my practice. The course provided clear guidance on time management, accurate record-keeping, and ethical billing strategies, all of which helped me become a more efficient and effective biller. Learning best practices early on not only improved my ability to capture billable time but also instilled habits that have contributed to my long-term professional growth. "
I highly recommend this training to any young attorney looking to build a strong foundation for their practice.
- Bree G. Nevarez, Associate
As a first-generation attorney, I had to navigate a learning curve at every stage of my journey. In school, I was fortunate to have access to a wealth of mentors who were eager to guide me. But when I entered law practice, the demands of the profession often left little time for structured guidance. That’s where Debora made all the difference. Her mentorship equipped me with the skills, habits, and independence to tackle significant responsibilities as a junior associate.
Debora’s training fills a critical gap for new attorneys stepping into this challenging profession.
- Chrisanne Gultz, Attorney
As a second-year law student, I truly did not understand the importance of accurate, detailed time entries. Debora's Time Sheet Master presentation not only clarified the why, but also demonstrated the how by providing ample examples to
model. Law students and young associates should really take advantage of this resource —
Skills like these will set them apart from their peers.
