Instead of preparing invoices one by one, batch billing consolidates the process, allowing firms to create, review, and distribute multiple invoices at once.
For law firms managing high volumes of invoices across multiple matters, batch billing is a practical solution that dramatically reduces the time spent generating and sending bills. Instead of preparing invoices one by one, batch billing consolidates the process, allowing firms to create, review, and distribute multiple invoices at once.
By automating repetitive tasks, legal teams and professionals reclaim time previously spent searching between files and templates. This streamlined approach helps firms avoid delayed billing cycles, which often lead to delayed payments. With batch billing built into a legal billing software solution like CARET Legal, firms maintain a consistent billing cadence, accelerating the timeline from invoice generation to payment.
The result: faster cash flow, improved operational efficiency, and fewer follow-ups from finance staff. CARET Legal’s intuitive billing workflows support law firms in keeping receivables moving without sacrificing accuracy or control. Firms can also use batch billing alongside broader tools offered in our legal case management software to streamline operations across matters, documents, and deadlines.
Legal Time and Billing Software That Works the Way You Do
Time and expense tracking is a core part of legal billing. Yet, when tracking tools are cumbersome or disjointed from the billing process, firms risk losing valuable billable time or underreporting reimbursable costs. CARET Legal’s legal time and billing software is designed to integrate time entries and expenses directly into billing workflows, removing friction for attorneys and support staff.
Users can log time from any device, at any moment; whether in court, in a client meeting, or reviewing case files. This ease of access boosts accuracy and helps make sure every billable hour and expense is accounted for. Once time and expense entries are captured, batch billing makes it simple to generate client-ready invoices across all matters, all at once.
By combining time tracking, billing, and trust accounting into a single legal billing solution, CARET Legal reduces the risk of errors and simplifies compliance with state bar regulations. For firms that manage retainers or operate trust accounts, having built-in safeguards within the billing software reduces manual checks and supports cleaner audits.
As firms grow, having legal calendaring tools that support compliance and court deadlines becomes increasingly important.
CARET Legal integrates with LawToolBox to offer rules-based calendaring, helping firms stay organized and avoid missed dates, even when managing dozens of matters at once.
More Predictable Payment Processing with Automated Workflows
A slow payment cycle can strain operations and client relationships. CARET Legal addresses this challenge with payment processing tools integrated directly into the billing interface. Clients can pay invoices via credit card or ACH through CARET Legal’s built-in payment solution, eliminating the need for external processing platforms.
Batch billing pairs naturally with automated payment links, encouraging faster client action and improving collections. When clients receive invoices promptly, with easy-to-use payment options embedded, firms typically see fewer delays and fewer bounced reminders. With full payment tracking within the same platform, administrative teams gain immediate visibility into which invoices are outstanding and which are in process.
These features work together to reduce the cycle from billed to paid—not by days, but by weeks. That time saved is revenue recovered. Firms that optimize this workflow are also better positioned to grow their client portfolio, as consistent billing and faster collections support sustainable practice growth.
Trust Accounting and Client Collaboration Without Added Complexity
Trust accounting remains one of the most regulated areas of legal billing. CARET Legal helps simplify this responsibility by linking trust balances and invoice payments automatically, so funds are drawn in compliance with legal ethics rules. During batch billing, users can apply trust funds to eligible invoices in just a few clicks, without manual calculations or external spreadsheets.
For client collaboration, CARET Legal provides a secure client portal that makes it easier to exchange documents and invoices. Attorneys can share files, receive uploads from clients, and send invoices directly through the portal. Clients can in turn upload relevant documents and submit payments, streamlining communication around case logistics and billing.
This structure supports law firms in delivering a smooth and responsive client experience without additional software. The secure document-sharing and payment capabilities help foster professional, efficient interactions.
Firms can also take advantage of the advanced analytics within CARET Legal to monitor billing efficiency, track collection performance, and identify where time is being lost across the billing cycle. These insights support more informed decision-making and tighter control over firm financials.
