Law firms are losing 15–25% of potential revenue—not because of rates or demand, but because of breakdowns in the billing and collections process.
In this session with Mattern and Zebraworks, we’ll take a practical look at where revenue leakage actually occurs and why most efforts to fix it fall short, and touch upon how firms can keep expenses in check. The reality: Law firms don’t have a revenue problem. They have a conversion problem.
In this session, we cover:
- Where firms lose revenue between WIP, billing, and collections
- How firms are using AI to reduce lockup and improve realization
- Why adding staff hasn’t solved the problem
- How manual exceptions slow the billing and collections cycle
- Leveraging strategic exceptions to pull cash forward
- How leading firms are improving billing velocity and collection outcomes
- What a modern, connected invoices-to-cash workflow actually looks like
- How firms can keep rising expenses in check and in most cases, lower them.
