Law firms start using billing systems designed for clients

A quarter of law firms which work with legal desktop and bill manager Viewabill have asked to use the same system to help them manage client projects internally.

Firms are interested in real-time matter management Tsyhun

In a statement to Global Legal Post, Viewabill said: 'About 30 firms, approximately 25 per cent of Viewabill law firm subscribers, have expressed their interest to us in a real-time, matter management tool to assist them with managing projects internally, the same way their clients are able to get insights into their matters via Viewabill.' 

Benefits to law firms?

One of the fastest areas of growth in the legal sector is this kind of billing management service. Viewabill says that law firms also stand to benefit from the use of information-sharing and the legal desktop technology. By contrast, German company Busylamp which has just opened in the UK and US stresses the cost reductions possible for clients of law firms and does much less to emphasis the benefits for law firms.
