What challenges do in-house legal teams face without an automated e-billing system?

Without an automated e-billing system, legal teams may struggle with manual errors, inconsistent billing practices, delayed payments, and difficulty enforcing compliance with billing guidelines. Additionally, the lack of centralised data makes it harder to manage alternative fee arrangements and generate finance reports.
What are the key features to look for in e-billing or legal accounting software?

Key features in legal e-billing software include automated invoice review, compliance with billing guidelines, integration with timekeeping systems, customisable billing rules, robust reporting tools, and support for alternative fee arrangements (AFAs). Additionally, the ability to streamline accounts payable (AP) workflows and provide secure data handling is crucial.
How does automated invoice review work in legal billing?

Automated invoice review uses specialised software to audit and process invoices based on pre-defined criteria, ensuring compliance with billing guidelines and rate approvals. This often involves timekeeping software for lawyers to track billable hours accurately.
What is the impact of legal e-billing on accounts payable workflows?

Legal e-billing enhances accounts payable (AP) workflows by automating the invoice approval and payment process, reducing the time and effort required to manage invoices. This leads to faster payment cycles, improved cash flow management and ensures that invoices are processed according to the firm’s preferred schedule, whether manually or automatically managed.
How does legal e-billing facilitate better communication between in-house legal team and outside counsel?

Legal e-billing platforms provide a transparent and structured framework for billing and invoicing, enabling clearer communication between in-house legal team and outside counsel. Automated workflows, real-time status updates, and centralised data help ensure that both parties are aligned on billing expectations, timelines, and compliance with guidelines.
