SEE THROUGH BILLING
Viewabill is designed to bring transparency to billing, so
clients can track costs of work in progress, day by day.
Legal professionals — lawyers, paralegals, forensics experts, investigators, researchers and
librarians, for example — sometimes
face an uphill battle when it comes to
billing clients for their work. Especially
when the time tracked is not attribut-
able to creating traditional work prod-
ucts, such as briefs and trial memos. Add
to that the growing trend for alterna-
tive fee arrangements, which often calls
for flat rates for specific services, with
the goal of decreasing legal bills. It’s no
secret that clients are often confused
and angry when bills arrive.
