Working with Firms

Create a firm portfolio

Companies use firm portfolios to group selected matters into a user-defined portfolio that has spending limits on fees or expenses across the portfolio. A firm portfolio shows total matter spends by the firm, making it easy to track groups of matters and assign matters to a portfolio.

Firm portfolios

Firm portfolios provide a more efficient way to handle large portfolios of work for value-based fixed fees, you can define firm portfolios. Firm portfolios offer the following additional benefits:
  • A firm portfolio presents a single consolidated view of all open matters and total spend for a specific firm.
  • Matters are assigned to user-defined firm portfolios on an individual basis.
  • Firms can have an unlimited number of portfolios.
  • Firm portfolios have spending limits on fees and expenses for total portfolio spend. Expenditures can be tracked with red flags, auto-reduce, and auto-reject with customizable email notifications.
  • Volume discount structures work well with firm portfolios.
Firm portfolios are useful if you want to:
  • Efficiently handle large portfolios of work for a value-based fixed fee
  • Make periodic adjustments if additional unexpected work arises
  • Better manage fee risk where assumptions about the scope of work may be off
  • Allow for selective inclusion of a number of matters for a specific firm, and exclusion of selected matters on an individual basis
  • Set up volume discounts
