How Billing & Invoicing works on a live matter
Billing & Invoicing is the AI.Law tool civil litigators use for time, billing, and deadline management. You tracked your time in AI.Law as you worked. Your notes were AI-polished with UTBMS codes. Generating the invoice is one click — AI.Law compiles the time entries, applies your rates, formats the line items, and produces a professional invoice. No exporting to a billing system, no re-entering time, no manual calculation.
On a live matter it runs in 4 steps: (1) Track time as you work, (2) Generate invoices, (3) Manage trust accounts, (4) Track payments and receivables. Time entries created in AI.Law as you work on matters. AI polishes descriptions with professional language and UTBMS codes.
Your time entries and notes already live in AI.Law. Your matters and clients are already organized. Billing is the natural extension: generate invoices directly from your tracked time and expenses, manage trust account deposits and disbursements, and track accounts receivable — all without exporting data to a separate billing system. Invoice generation from tracked time entries and expenses — with AI-polished descriptions using UTBMS codes.
One-click invoice generation from time entries already tracked in the platform. No separate billing software to purchase, configure, or maintain.

Easier
Billing built into your workflow — not a separate system to maintain
Most firms use one system for case management and a different system for billing. Data is exported, re-entered, or manually reconciled. AI.Law eliminates the gap: your matters, time entries, expenses, and trust accounts all live in one system, so invoicing is a natural extension of the work you already do.
- No separate billing software to purchase, configure, or maintain
- Time entries, expenses, and client data already in the system — no data migration or manual entry
- Trust account management with required three-way reconciliation built in
- Client portal integration — clients can view invoices and payment history in their portal
More Money
Capture more billable time and collect more of what you bill
Attorneys who track time contemporaneously bill 20–40% more than those who reconstruct time at the end of the week. When time tracking is built into your case workflow — not a separate system you have to remember to update — you capture more time. When invoicing is one click, invoices go out faster. When trust accounting is integrated, compliance is automatic.
- Contemporaneous time tracking captures more billable work — AI polishes the descriptions
- Faster invoicing means faster payment — invoices generated and sent the same day work is completed
- Aging reports and payment tracking ensure nothing falls through the cracks
- Free on every plan — billing should not cost you money to collect money
