Billing & Invoicing
Billable work happens on the matter — logged hours, disbursements, expenses. The Counsel turns that directly into invoices and tracks what's been collected, without a separate billing spreadsheet reconciled against what lawyers actually did.
Time entries
Lawyers log billable time against the matter they did the work for, as the day happens — not reconstructed from memory at month end.
Legal fees & expenses
Disbursements and expenses are recorded alongside time, so nothing billable gets missed when it comes time to invoice.
Invoices
Unbilled time and expenses for a matter — or a client, across all their matters — sweep into a numbered draft invoice in seconds, ready for review.
Payments
Record payments against an invoice as they land, and see its status update automatically as it's partly or fully paid.
Outstanding balances
See what's invoiced but not yet collected across the whole firm, not client by client in a spreadsheet.
Billing visibility
Firm-wide revenue and collections are visible to managing partners, partners and finance; everyone else sees their own billable hours and unbilled work instead — real numbers, scoped to the role that should see them.
Overdue tracking
Invoices past their due date are flagged clearly, so collections don't depend on someone remembering to check.
Financial reporting
Revenue, collection rate, work in progress and per-lawyer billable performance, in one report, exportable to Excel.
Because time and expenses are logged against the same matter everyone's already working in, billing never depends on someone manually copying entries into a separate tool. It's part of the same firm-wide workspace, with financial visibility scoped by role — so juniors see their own numbers, and leadership sees the firm's.
