The Problem
Lack of transparency around billable expenses remains a major source of conflict between firms and clients. According to industry data, lawyers fail to collect 11% of the hours they bill clients, with a significant portion stemming from expense-related disputes. Clients commonly question charges like $0.25 per page for photocopying, $99 charges for "electronic research," and even bills for sandwiches eaten during working lunches.
