How Automated Billing Can Increase Revenue Law Firm Billing in 2019

Billing clients is a time-consuming task that unfortunately adds to an attorney's already busy workload. Unlike many other tasks, billing is not a task an attorney can bill for. All the time spent dealing with time entry and invoicing could be going toward billable activities, or to the attorney's free time. The Un-Billable Hour, a law practice and advisory podcast, confirms that inefficiencies related to un-billable tasks cost law firms money. The podcasts specifically addresses "disorganization, slow response to clients, late billing invoices and not tracking time" as the principal causes of decreased efficiency and lower revenue. Although there are many applications that at least claim to streamline the time-entry part of the billing process, these same applications typically neglect the bill review portion of bill submission.
