Frequently Asked Questions

How does recurring billing work for law firm retainers?

You set up a recurring billing profile for each client's legal retainer with the monthly amount, billing date, and payment terms. The system automatically generates and sends invoices on the scheduled date each month. Clients receive invoices via email and can pay online. You can track payment status and see which clients have paid for their ongoing legal services.

Can I track retainer drawdowns for legal hours and case work?

Yes, if clients pay retainers upfront, you can track drawdowns as you perform legal work like case research, document preparation, court appearances, and client meetings. The system shows remaining retainer balance and can send automatic notifications when the retainer needs replenishment. You can also combine retainer drawdowns with monthly billing for clients who use both payment methods.

What if a client wants to add additional legal work beyond their retainer?

You can add one-time charges for additional legal work that exceeds the retainer amount. The recurring billing profile continues for the base retainer, and you create separate invoices for extra legal work. This allows you to bill for both ongoing retainer services and one-time legal projects separately.

How do I handle different practice areas with different retainer amounts?

You can create separate recurring billing profiles for different practice areas. For example, corporate law retainers might be different from litigation retainers. Each practice area has its own monthly retainer amount, and you can easily customize billing based on the type of legal services included in each retainer package.
