AdvoLogix Spend Management allows you to manage your matters that involve outside counsels in a streamlined way. You have the ability to set and assign milestones, tasks, and responsible parties, as well as set budgets and provide client portals for complete collaboration. When outside counsel submits invoices, they are automatically validated for compliance to pre-negotiated terms. No more surprise invoices or long phone calls to resolve invoicing issues. Invoice control and web-based collaboration ensure legal projects are on time and budget.
Prior to installation, your organization must have digital experiences (communities) enabled to successfully install the AdvoLogix Spend Management package.
