The problem

Billing reductions are often preventable — but manual review does not scale.

Firms lose time and revenue reviewing invoices line by line, correcting vague entries, responding to rejected charges, and preparing appeals. Outsourcing can help, but it also adds cost, delay, and less control over institutional billing knowledge.

PAIN 01

Preventable write-downs and rejected entries

Vague narratives, block billing, and guideline mismatches drive reductions that could have been corrected before the invoice was ever sent.

PAIN 02

Staff time consumed by repetitive billing review

Senior billers and partners spend hours re-reading line items they have re-read a hundred times, instead of working exceptions and recoveries.

PAIN 03

Prior reductions don't improve future invoices

Lessons from rejected entries, rulings, and appeal outcomes rarely make their way back to the timekeeper. The same reductions repeat, matter after matter.

How it works

AI-assisted billing review built around the way law firms actually work.

A three-step workflow that fits inside the firm's existing pre-bill review process — designed to support attorney judgment, not replace it.

STEP 01 / IMPORT

Bring in invoices, rulings & history

Upload or import draft invoices, LEDES files, billing guidelines, prior rulings, and appeal outcomes. The system aligns them by matter, timekeeper, and carrier.

STEP 02 / REVIEW

See risk before the client does

Flag entries by guideline mismatch, vague or clerical wording, block-billed time, and reduction patterns the firm has seen before. Reviewers triage in minutes, not hours.

STEP 03 / EXPORT

Send out a stronger invoice

Export revised narratives, pre-bill review packets for partners, and appeal-ready response materials when fees are challenged downstream.

Platform capabilities

Four capabilities, one workflow.

F · 01

Pre-submission reduction risk review

Identify entries likely to be challenged before the invoice reaches the client or carrier. Risk is scored against the firm's own reduction history and the carrier's guidelines.

Invoice risk score 68 / 100
Vague narrative 7 entries
Block billing 4 entries
Guideline mismatch 2 entries

Attorney-level narrative strengthening

Improve vague or clerical-sounding entries by clarifying the legal strategy, analysis, judgment, and case value behind the work — without inventing facts.

Attention to file; correspondence with co-counsel.
SUGGESTED REWRITE
Analyze co-counsel's draft response to plaintiff's Rule 26(f) report and revise to preserve the firm's scope-of-discovery objections on Topics 4, 7, and 11.
F · 03

Learn from prior reductions

Compare invoices, rulings, LEDES data, and appeal outcomes so historical reductions improve future billing decisions — at the timekeeper, matter, and carrier level.

Why us

Not generic AI. Billing intelligence trained around actual reduction patterns.

01

Built for legal invoice review.

The system understands LEDES codes, billing guideline structure, matter context, and the specific patterns reviewers and carriers look for — not generic document summarization.

02

Designed around billing guidelines and reduction reasoning.

Risk is scored against the carrier's guidelines and the firm's own reduction history, so the explanation behind every flag is something a partner can actually defend.

03

Supports human judgment rather than replacing it.

Suggestions, not auto-rewrites. Reviewers stay in control of every narrative change, and every export carries an audit trail of who accepted what.

04

Focused on fee protection, staff efficiency, and appeal readiness.

One workflow for pre-bill review, narrative strengthening, and appeal packet generation — connected by shared history, not three separate tools.

05

A practical workflow for firms — not a black box.

Every flag, score, and rewrite shows its sources: the guideline section, the prior ruling, the historical reduction. Firms can audit, override, and learn from the system in the same review pass.
