What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Quantifiable Efficiency Gains That Scale Your Practice
Reclaim 25+ Billable Hours Per Week
Reclaim 25+ Billable Hours Per Week: Manual IOLTA invoice handling devours time—our AI processes 500+ trust and vendor invoices monthly in under 2 hours, freeing associates for high-value litigation and advisory work. Mid-sized firms report a 300% ROI within six months, including recouped hours billed at $400/hour rates, per our deployments in 50+ practices.
Boost Cash Flow with 40% Faster Payments
Boost Cash Flow with 40% Faster IOLTA Payments: Automate approvals and trust reconciliations to capture early-pay discounts on expert witness fees, reducing days sales outstanding (DSO) from 45 to 18 days. This isn't theory; a 20-attorney firm saved $15,000 in state bar penalties last year through precise IOLTA accounting that prevented unearned fee disputes.
Achieve Ironclad Compliance and Error Reduction
Achieve Ironclad Compliance and 90% Error Reduction: Built-in AI checks align with ABA Model Rule 1.15 on safekeeping property and state IOLTA guidelines, cutting billing disputes by 85% and malpractice claims risks. Like a fortified vault for your client funds, it safeguards against inadvertent violations that could cost $50,000+ in fines and restitution.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ, our team spent Fridays reconciling vendor invoices against IOLTA client matters—it was a compliance nightmare. Now, the system auto-matches everything to our Clio matter files with built-in ABA rule checks, cutting processing time from 12 hours to 90 minutes per week. Last quarter, we caught a $2,800 retainer overbilling error that prevented a state bar grievance and saved a key client relationship."
Sarah Jenkins
Billing and IOLTA Compliance Manager, Thompson & Associates LLP
"Compliance was always a headache with varying state bar IOLTA rules across jurisdictions. AIQ's custom AI flags issues in real-time, like retainer deposit mismatches, and integrates seamlessly with QuickBooks for trust ledger exports. In three months, our audit prep time for ABA reviews dropped 60%, letting us focus on complex M&A deals instead of endless paperwork."
Michael Rivera
Chief Financial Officer, Lawson Legal Group
"We juggled Clio, QuickBooks, and email for our high-volume IP filings, but nothing handled IOLTA disbursements properly. AIQ built a unified system that processes 200+ patent-related invoices monthly with zero manual entry and auto-flags ethics issues. Revenue tracking per IP matter is now spot-on, boosting partner utilization rates by 25% and adding $180K in billable hours annually."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does your automation ensure compliance with legal billing standards?
Compliance is baked in from the start. We customize the AI to your jurisdiction's rules—think ABA Model Rule 1.5 for fee reasonableness or state-specific IOLTA guidelines. The system auto-flags discrepancies, like unapproved retainers or mismatched matter codes, before processing. In one deployment for a California firm, it prevented a $10,000 ethics violation by catching an improper advance fee entry. We also maintain full audit trails, exportable for bar reviews, ensuring every step is defensible. Unlike generic tools, our builds evolve with regulatory changes via quarterly updates, keeping you protected without manual oversight.
What integrations do you support for law firm software?
We specialize in deep, two-way integrations tailored to legal tech stacks. Core connections include Clio for matter linking, PracticePanther for time tracking sync, and QuickBooks or Xero for accounting. For example, invoices auto-populate from client portals into your CRM, updating trust ledgers in real-time. We've handled custom APIs for niche tools like Smokeball or MyCase too. The result? No more double-entry—data flows seamlessly, reducing errors by 85%. If your setup is unique, our engineers map it during discovery, ensuring 100% compatibility without brittle middleware.
How long does implementation take, and what's the ROI timeline?
Typical rollout for a mid-sized firm takes 6-8 weeks: two for mapping, four for build and test, and two for optimization. We start small, automating one workflow like vendor bills, then expand. ROI hits fast—clients see 25 hours saved weekly from day one, translating to $15,000+ in billable time annually at $250/hour rates. One partner firm recouped costs in four months through faster payments and reduced disputes. Long-term, expect 300-500% ROI as scalability kicks in, backed by our performance guarantees and no-upfront-fee model tied to results.
Is the system secure for handling sensitive client financial data?
Absolutely—security is non-negotiable in legal automation. We use enterprise-grade encryption (AES-256) for data at rest and in transit, with role-based access controls mirroring your firm's permissions. All processing complies with SOC 2 Type II standards, and we conduct penetration testing pre-launch. For confidential matters, the AI anonymizes data during extraction, only revealing details to authorized users. In a recent audit for a New York firm, our logs helped prove chain-of-custody for a high-stakes litigation invoice, avoiding a breach claim. You own the data; we never store or access it post-deployment.
Can this scale if our firm grows or takes on more complex cases?
Yes, our architecture is built for growth. The AI handles volume spikes—like doubling invoices during M&A seasons—without slowdowns, thanks to cloud-native scaling on AWS or Azure. For complex cases, we add modules for multi-jurisdictional compliance or international retainers. A firm we worked with expanded from 20 to 80 attorneys; the system adapted in two weeks, maintaining 99% uptime. It's not rigid software—ongoing tweaks via our support ensure it evolves, preventing the 'scaling walls' that trap 40% of growing practices, per industry reports.
What if we already use another invoicing tool—will this replace it entirely?
Not necessarily—we integrate, not replace, to minimize disruption. If you're on something like Bill4Time or LeanLaw, our AI layers on top, automating the manual gaps like data entry and approvals while feeding outputs back in. For instance, it can pull from your existing tool, process via AI, and push reconciled data for payments. Firms often phase out redundancies over time, but we start hybrid. One client ditched two subscriptions after six months, saving $8,000 yearly, while keeping their core CRM intact. It's about unification, not upheaval.
