It's not unusual for a law firm to exceed the agreed rates for their services. With the multitude of rate structures and client-specific discounts, it's all too easy for a simple oversight to lead to an inadvertent overcharge.
To stay in control of your spend, it's crucial that you have the ability to check that your agreed rates are being stuck to by your law firms.
Apperio can perform continuous monitoring, comparing the rate card provided by your law firms against the amount they are billing for in their invoices.
Apperio will flag any discrepancies found so that you can raise these with your law firms to make sure you are only paying what has been agreed.
