Legal and Case-Driven Systems

See total legal spend—before the budget review, not during it

An in-house legal team tracks matters and outside counsel spend across department email and outside counsel invoices, so nobody has visibility into total legal spend or matter status until the budget review. Build spend tracking that stays current all quarter.

An invoice tells you spend after it's already happened

If outside counsel spend only becomes visible when the invoice arrives, the legal team finds out about a budget overrun after the fact—too late to course-correct or flag it to the business unit that requested the work.

Track spend against budget as matters progress, not just when invoices are reconciled at quarter-end.

From request to reconciliation
  1. 1. Matter request comes in from a business unit
  2. 2. Legal team assigns it internally or to outside counsel
  3. 3. Outside counsel spend and budget are tracked against the matter
  4. 4. Matter status is reported back to the requesting business unit
  5. 5. Matter closes with final spend reconciled against budget

Scenarios to test in your preview

  • Outside counsel spend must be tracked against the matter's budget in real time, not reconciled only at invoice time.
  • A matter must not close with unreconciled spend still outstanding.
  • A business unit must only see status for matters they requested, not the full legal team's caseload.
FAQ

Common questions about corporate legal matter software

Who is this for?

In-house legal teams tracking matters and outside counsel spend across multiple business units.

Can outside counsel access this directly?

Yes—give outside counsel scoped portal access to submit spend and status updates on their assigned matters.

Does this replace our e-billing system?

No—it's the matter and budget tracking layer. Export reconciled spend to your accounting or e-billing system as needed.
