Create or edit a law firm budget

You'll need a Matter Editor or Matter Administrator role in your company. A direct matter participant and their delegates in a law firm may also be able to create or edit a law firm budget.
A law firm budget is an estimate of spending on a matter. It can be a fiscal-year budget (monthly, quarterly, or annually), or a phased budget for patent or litigation matters.
