Epiq Billing Services Transforms The Legal Billing Process Providing Accuracy, Efficiency, and Compliance

End-to-end billing solution streamlines time entry, invoicing, expense reporting, pre-billing, collection, and OCG requirements

NEW YORK, Aug. 28, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Epiq, a global technology-enabled leader to the legal industry and corporations, announced today expanded Epiq Billing Services – the premier, reliable, secure solution for streamlining legal billing to help law firms stabilize cash flow, reduce costs, and improve overall efficiency.

“The average law firm experiences an 18 percent realization loss due to billing challenges,” said Michelle Connolly, Senior Vice President of Epiq’s Global Business Transformation Solutions business. “This means that nearly one-fifth of billable work is not converted into revenue, negatively impacting a firm’s profitability. Even more, over 80 percent of law firms report having issues with a significant portion of invoices remaining unpaid or delayed, creating real cash flow challenges. These problems – coupled with resource constraints and the need for continuous training – highlight the importance of streamlining billing operations.”

Epiq’s Global Business Transformation Solutions business developed comprehensive billing solutions to help law firms solve challenges in collecting billable hours while enhancing productivity and ensuring compliance with complex billing guidelines. Leveraging subject matter experts well-versed in common law firm applications and supported technology processes, including AI, the service provides faster turnaround times, quicker invoice generation, and improved cash flow for law firms.

“Our billing support services are able to streamline compliance with both internal and external guidelines, reducing manual errors and speeding up the pre-bill review process,” Connolly said. “This enables firms to maximize realization rates, invoice faster, and reduce errors and lengthy appeals – ultimately leading to improved efficiency and profitability.”
