Billing & Invoicing
Bill your way, and get paid faster
Hourly, flat fee, contingency, or any mix, configured per case, not crammed into a template. Generate invoices from the time and expenses you already tracked, see your unbilled work in real time, and let clients pay right from the invoice.
Already Captured
Your invoices build from work you already logged
The fee arrangements your firm uses
Hourly, flat fee earned in milestones, contingency, and hybrid arrangements that combine them, set per case, so each engagement is billed the way it’s priced.
- Flat fees earned in stages: for example, 80% on filing, 20% at signing
- Combine fee types on a single case when an engagement calls for it
Rate overrides at every level
Set default hourly rates by user, role, or group, then override them on a specific case when an engagement calls for different pricing. The rate you set for that client applies automatically, so no one has to remember which client gets which discount.
Generate invoices in minutes
Pull a case’s unbilled time and expenses into an invoice with date-range filtering, review the line items, and apply adjustments. Draft invoices let you check everything before sending; finalizing locks the numbers and updates your receivables.
See work in progress in real time
Know exactly how much unbilled work is sitting on each case before you invoice. WIP tracking gives you a live view of the firm’s pipeline of unbilled revenue, ready to invoice whenever you are.
Billing increments and rounding, your way
Bill in 6-minute increments, 15-minute increments, or whatever interval your firm uses. Outlaw Practice handles the rounding automatically, so invoices follow your billing policy without manual math.
And narrative invoices, in addition to detailed ones
Many firms send detailed invoices, a grid of dates, hours, rates and costs that invites the client to relitigate a 0.2-hour "read email" entry. A narrative invoice instead tells the story of what was done, and when, then gives one total at the end. That is the whole method behind the ABA-published How to Draft Bills Clients Rush to Pay, Third Edition: a client who sees the work rather than the ledger argues less and pays sooner.
- Choose narrative or detailed on each invoice
- The narrative builds from the dated task notes you already wrote, under a header you choose, and is editable before sending
