Fees and billing
Every fee, with its proof.
Billing lives on the matter timeline. Work becomes a fee where it happens, so nothing waits for month-end memory.
Start here
The right tariff
SOOT picks the tariff from the matter's payer, court and date: insurer and scheme rates, court tariffs or your firm's own rate lists.
Who uses it
- Fee earners
- Directors
- Accounts
Each person sees this part only if their seat's role allows it. Directors decide who may view, change and assign.
Everything in fees and billing
Approve or not billable
Each timeline event shows the fees it created. Possible fees are approved or marked not billable right there.
Proof stays with the fee
Fees that need proof can't be billed without it, and once a fee is approved its documents can't be taken off.
Voided, never deleted
A wrong fee is voided with a reason, who and when. Before saving, SOOT warns about a fee that looks like one already there.
Emails and calls counted
Filed emails suggest the letter or perusal fee, and SOOT counts the ones included per stage before charging. A call timer fills the minutes.
Quotations
Counsel, sheriff and expert quotations, with counsel rate cards and quotes read from PDF, from quoted to authorised to incurred.
Targets and badges
Fee targets for people, departments and the firm, with medals for every target reached.
