  • Capture and manage multiple fee structures including fee estimates, fixed and capped fees
  • Collaborate and agree scope of work and budgets up front for each matter (or phase of matter)
  • Receive, review and approve scope and budget change requests from law firms
  • Capture WIP, receive and approve invoices
Lawcadia interfaces with in-house legal and law firms
