SimpleLegal--it's in the name.
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
SimpleLegal is used in the day-to-day management of outside counsel matter management, ebilling, and spend management. Not only is it used for outside counsel management but also utilized for all vendors in the legal department. We are able to track timekeeper rates, budgets, and accruals through the system which allows us to manage our fiscal responsibilities in real-time.
Pros

Return on Investment
- Able to track in real-time legal spend against budgets to hold outside counsel responsible while meeting our fiscal demands--rather than wait on Finance report monthly/quarterly/etc.
