Legal Decoder

Founded 2013

Analyze legal invoices and billing narratives to uncover overstaffing and spend discrepancies

You can use Legal Decoder to examine legal spend data and invoice narratives for corporate legal departments and law firms. It reads line-item descriptions rather than relying solely on UTBMS billing codes to pinpoint inefficiencies, guideline non-compliance, and overstaffing patterns. The conversational interface, Aperture, allows you to ask direct questions about staffing mixes, pricing models, and timekeeper behavior in natural language. The system benchmarks rates against market trends, assists law firms in protecting matter profitability, and flags billing discrepancies before approving or sending payments.
