Question 1

How do law firms automate LEDES invoice submission?

Accepted Answer

Law firms automate LEDES invoice submission by validating the bill against the client’s outside counsel guidelines, then sending the LEDES file to the required billing portal without a separate login for each client. BillSync, from Scan Logic, submits those compliant LEDES files across more than 40 billing portals after the pre-bill passes review.

Question 2

What is a LEDES invoice?

Accepted Answer

LEDES is the standard file format corporate clients use to receive law firm invoices electronically. Billing portals validate that file against the client’s outside counsel guidelines and accept it, reject it, or reduce it.

Question 3

Can one workflow cover clients that do not use a billing portal?

Accepted Answer

Yes. BillSync still tracks those invoices. Email direct pay sends the invoice by email and gives the client a direct way to pay, beside the portal submissions.
