What Is Legal eBilling?
Legal eBilling digitises the submission and processing of law firm invoices, enforcing compliance, rates and budgets while reducing manual effort.

Legal eBilling is the electronic submission, validation, and processing of law firm invoices, replacing manual PDF or spreadsheet-based billing. It improves efficiency, accuracy, and control over external legal spend.
Lawcadia’s eBilling solution enables law firms to submit structured invoices, often in standard formats such as LEDES, which are then automatically checked against billing guidelines, matter budgets, and approved rates. This reduces errors, accelerates processing, and enforces compliance.
