The Future of Billing

Why It Matters for Your Firm

  • A/R increased 14.2% and WIP grew 11.1% in 2024. Meanwhile, 81% of firms have increased billing and collections staff over the last five years, yet inefficiencies remain. 
  • Instead of hiring more staff, there is a better alternative: automation that improves realization rates and cash flow, without increasing overhead. 

How AI is Transforming Legal Billing & Cash Flow Management

The legal industry is at a tipping point: billing inefficiencies are costing firms time and revenue, while manual processes struggle to keep up with the increasing demands of billing compliance, collections, and cash flow management. 

In our recent webinar, The Future of Billing, co-hosted with HerculesAI, we explored how AI-powered automation is redefining law firm invoices-to-cash cycle, helping firms work smarter, not harder.
