Billing Summary

Overview

CaseMark's Billing Summary skill transforms raw time entries and expense data into polished, privilege-safe billing narratives ready for client delivery. It automatically categorizes work, calculates totals, enforces engagement-letter rules, and produces executive overviews that explain fees clearly without exposing protected legal strategy.

Drafting legal billing summaries is a tedious, error-prone process that consumes significant attorney and staff time each month. Manually converting cryptic time entries into client-friendly narratives while ensuring privilege protection and billing guideline compliance creates bottlenecks, delays invoicing, and risks costly mistakes.

CaseMark automates the entire billing summary workflow, ingesting time entries, expense records, and engagement-letter rules to produce comprehensive, privilege-safe narratives in minutes. The AI categorizes work, validates compliance, calculates totals, and generates polished documents that are ready for client review and delivery.

How it works

  1. 1. Upload your time entries, expense data, and engagement letter or billing guidelines

  2. 2. AI analyzes entries, categorizes work, and enforces billing rules

  3. 3. Review the generated narrative, timekeeper breakdowns, and expense summaries

  4. 4. Export the client-ready billing summary in your preferred format (DOCX, PDF)

Questions

How does CaseMark protect attorney-client privilege in billing summaries?

CaseMark automatically converts time entry descriptions into client-friendly narratives that explain the purpose and scope of work without revealing legal advice, strategy, or privileged communications. Every narrative is crafted to be safe for disclosure.

Can CaseMark enforce our firm's engagement letter rules and billing guidelines?

Yes. You upload your engagement letter or billing guidelines, and CaseMark validates entries against rate caps, prohibited expense categories, task code requirements, and other contractual terms. Non-compliant items are flagged for your review.

What formats of time and expense data does CaseMark accept?

CaseMark accepts time and expense data in common formats including PDF exports from billing systems, spreadsheets (XLSX, CSV), and DOCX documents. Simply upload the files containing your timekeeper entries and expense records.

How does CaseMark categorize work into task categories?

CaseMark uses a default set of legal task categories such as Research and Analysis, Drafting, Client Communications, and Regulatory/Compliance Work. If your client provides custom task codes or UTBMS codes, CaseMark will map entries to those codes instead.

Can CaseMark handle write-downs, discounts, and fee adjustments?

Absolutely. CaseMark incorporates any write-downs, volume discounts, or courtesy adjustments you specify, reflecting them transparently in the totals table and providing clear justification narratives for each adjustment.

How long does it take to generate a billing summary?

CaseMark typically produces a complete, client-ready billing summary in about 10 minutes, regardless of the number of time entries. This replaces what often takes hours of manual drafting and review.
