FAQ

Legal Billing Setup in Legal Technology SaaS: Frequently asked questions

Trust accounting setup is bar compliance-critical — errors can result in disciplinary proceedings. Guidez creates trust accounting tours with compliance context at every configuration step: why three-way reconciliation is required, what constitutes prohibited commingling, and how retainer drawdowns must be handled under bar rules.
Yes. Pass billing_arrangement_type as a context variable and show arrangement-specific billing tours. Flat fee matters see flat fee billing configuration and milestone invoice setup; contingency matters see settlement billing and expense recovery workflows; hybrid arrangements see the combined configuration.
Billing write-offs most commonly result from time entry issues — undetailed entries, missing matter links, and billing rate errors. Guidez provides contextual time entry guidance: minimum description requirements, matter linkage verification, and rate confirmation before entry submission.
Yes. Create month-end billing workflow tours for billing administrators — covering pre-bill generation, attorney review routing, write-off approval, final invoice generation, and AR report production in the correct monthly sequence.
Online payment adoption is driven by meeting firms at the moment of first invoice delivery — showing them how to enable the payment link on their invoice and how clients will experience online payment. First invoice with online payment is a 2-minute tour that significantly increases payment rates and reduces AR collection overhead.
