Key considerations01 02
Problems to address
Changes to matter billing and invoice approval need clear access, integration, and review boundaries to avoid creating new operational gaps.
Plan around confidential matter information, reviewer responsibilities, and retention rules. Confirm the systems, data access, retention expectations, and operational owners with the organization before implementation.
Our Process
How We Work
- 01
Discovery & Research
Map the current time capture and expense review journey, the people involved, and the records each step needs.
- 02
Architecture & Design
Define how matter billing and invoice approval connects with existing systems, permissions, and exception handling.
- 03
Iterative Development
Implement time capture and expense review, matter billing and invoice approval, accounting exports and reconciliation in reviewable increments with agreed record ownership and integration boundaries.
- 04
Testing & QA
Reconcile time entries and expenses to approved invoices; verify that trust-account records remain separated from operating balances.
- 05
Launch & Optimize
Define retention ownership, audit access, exception handling, and staff handover.

Frequently asked questions
What should be validated before legal accounting & billing goes live?
Reconcile time entries and expenses to approved invoices; verify that trust-account records remain separated from operating balances.
Can legal accounting & billing connect with existing systems?
Integration scope depends on the systems, supported interfaces, permissions, and data quality available. Start by inventorying those dependencies and agreeing how failures and reconciliation should work.
How is a suitable first release defined?
Prioritize one complete user workflow, its required records and approvals, and a clear way to review the result. Additional workflows can follow once owners and operational requirements are understood.
