4 tips to monitor budgets and plan for outside counsel spending
Customers managing spend in LawVu are able to track and have visibility into spend against budget for work with outside counsel and legal service providers. This is valuable for monitoring and controlling costs, forecasting spend, and collaborating more effectively with external counsel.
Follow these tips to set up your budget and create workflows that make it easy to capture, stay on top of, and report on outside counsel spend and budget:
Set your financial year for more accurate reporting and other financial calculations
Set a budget for each legal service provider to help track forecasts and actual spend against your budget at the provider level.
Set up a budget for each matter and enable scope management. Use scoping fields for more accurate estimating and when either party adjusts the fee value on scope management, the other party has to accept any changes, enabling proactive budget management.
Use spend reporting to monitor forecasted and actual spend against your matter, legal service provider, or fiscal year budget at any time.
Read this help article to learn more about how to manage budgets and spend in LawVu. If youâre using the new General Counsel dashboard it will include critical spend management reporting components.
