Electronic Billing (Ledes Billing)
In today's electronic landscape, law firms are contending with clients who may require that your bills be submitted as attachments to emails or through third party online billing sites. This might make it easier and
more cost-effective for the clients that use:
Legal eXchange
TyMetrix
Litigation Advisor
Examen
Serengeti
CouncilLink
Datacert
or standard Ledes Billing Codes. But these procedures often cause major problems for the firm.
We can help. We have vast experience with e-billing and task-based billing processes. These programs and services are often complicated and require skilled knowledge that most law firms lack, but our team of professionals can assist your firm with implementing a solid workflow process that will solve your electronic billing needs.
We also work with firms that wish to retain their standard billing in-house practices and only need assistance with e-billing clients.
