Legal Management Systems: Alternative Fee Arrangements (AFAs) are Growing

How has your Firm addressed AFAs?  Does your system give you the facts you need to make the proper AFA decisions? 

AFAs are expanding, as everyone wants a deal. 

Clients expect your Firm to accommodate their budgeting requirements:
  • Variable Rate Structures
  • Fixed Rates
  • Flat Fees
  • Defined Deliverables
  • Project Analysis (Budget vs. Actual) 

Rippe & Kingston's LMS provides the tools to fulfill the requirement of AFAs. For example, our Matter Pricing Model is utilized to set up budgets, and once they are in place, you can use the Client/Matter Historical Analysis and/or the Client/Matter Profitability Analysis (if you use the Profitability module) to see if the venture was profitable.

The notification option within LMSV sends an automatic email to the Attorney (or Split Attorneys) for the associated matter whenever a cash receipts group is posted.

Saving your Attorneys from constantly inquiring about outstanding AR just might increase billable time!

Legal Management Systems: Paperless Potential with LMS+ Check Approval Module



For checks to get approved, do you typically have to collate them along with a stack of backup (vouchers, invoices, etc.) that has to be reviewed prior to getting them signed? 

Wouldn’t it be nice to simply take the checks to the check signer, and they can access the voucher PDF images electronically (e.g., on an iPad)?  



With the LMS+ Check Approval module, used in conjunction with the LMS AP voucher imaging feature, check approval has been simplified into a process that can be done electronically in just a few steps! 

Skip the hassle of compiling papers & be more productive with LMS!
