Automated billing – Magistrates & Crown Court

The Access Legal billing software uses the time record to create the bills for criminal cases. The fee earner records time which is automatically added to the correct claim form. The claim form automatically posts bills to the accounts, then the receipts module automatically receipts the bills.

So in effect, time is automatically fed to the Access Legal accounts package for Work In Progress (WIP) and billing.

When a user emails or creates a letter or attendance note on the system, they are automatically prompted for their time - resulting in minimal cost leakage during cases. Time can also be entered manually onto the screen via attendance notes or recorded in real-time as work is being done.

Access Legal solutions integrate with a wide range of suppliers and services, enabling you to streamline more of your processes straight from your software.  Learn more >
