Overview

The pressures of corporate streamlining, increased compliance regulations and shrinking budgets have forced legal department managers to become more aggressive in controlling legal costs. Without a doubt, the biggest drain on a legal department’s budget is outside counsel fees. According to the recent “Top of Mind Survey of Senior In-House Counsel” by Kirkpatrick & Lockhart, about half the companies surveyed spend at least 50 percent of their legal budget on outside counsel. In addition, nearly 50 percent of respondents said controlling outside counsel costs is the most difficult challenge they face.

Lecorpio spend management application makes budgeting and billing process more efficient and provides better insight and more control over the outside legal spend.

Budget management

Corporate legal departments can prepare multiple types of budgets such as task based , phase based or case based budget. The budget is updated in real-time with the actuals received via invoices.

Lecorpio allows all legal service providers to submit invoices online. The invoices can be submitted in any file format. The invoices accompanied by detailed line item details are processed further to line item based review and analysis. Lecorpio accepts industry standard LEDES formats as well.

Corporate legal departments can provide their policies and corporate guidelines through Lecorpio business rules engine. The rules engine validates each incoming line item against provided guidelines. Line items and invoices are flagged based on the pre-defined rules. Reviewers are able to identify those invoices that need to be reviewed and approved or rejected quickly and those invoices that require additional scrutiny.
