Or three attorneys on a call that needed one.
If your company is fighting a contract dispute, employment claim, IP matter, or anything else that landed you in outside counsel’s office, your invoices deserve the same scrutiny a Fortune 500 gives theirs. We track your legal expenses so your bills never get out of hand — starting at $199, up to $500 per year, to save you thousands.
Or three attorneys on a call that needed one.
Research billed as though new when it should have been reused.
Routine motions drafted “from scratch.” Conferences about conferences.
Organized the way a Fortune 500 legal-ops team would do it.
Each line entry on every invoice is parsed and stored so you can see what was done, when, and by whom.
Calls, drafts, research, correspondence — priced individually so you can ask why a task cost what it did.
Catch hours that creep across similar tasks, or attorneys who consistently take longer than peers on the same work.
Administrative work, intra-firm conferences, and other entries that firms sometimes slip into billable time.
Patterns, repeat tasks, and creeping rates stay visible over months — not just within a single bill.
Categorized expenses and rate history ready to hand off to your accountant for deductions and expense substantiation.
Your dashboard shows every invoice, every task, and every dollar your outside counsel has billed — across matters, attorneys, and time. The same visibility a corporate legal-ops team would build internally, without hiring one.
Fortune 500s have legal-bill-review programs. Small businesses almost never do. Trim the Fee closes that gap — flat fee, fast turnaround, no new vendor to manage.
Upload your most recent invoice. In under five minutes, you'll know whether it's worth pushing back — and we'll generate the reduction letter for you to send.
