What are LEDES formats?
-

Speed up your invoicing process with standardized LEDES billing codes
-
Our LEDES invoicing software further simplifies the process by allowing you to generate LEDES invoices with the help of UTBMS codes approved by the American Bar Association for all your cases and clients with just a click and then help you by seamlessly downloading all the generated files in a zip.
