Setting up a flat fee matter on your Lawcus account is a simple and effective way to provide clients with predictable legal fees while also fostering stronger attorney-client relationships. With a fixed or pre-determined fee for a particular matter, clients can budget for legal services in advance, and you can plan your work and assignments to stay within the budget and avoid unprofitable ventures.

Setting up a Flat Fee Matter

To create a flat fee matter, follow these steps:

  1. Navigate to Matters from the left-side menu and add a new matter by clicking on New Matter Button or Add Matter Button in your desired pipeline or use the + New Button beside the Timer Clock Icon in the top right corner & select New Matter from the available options.​

  2. Enter all the necessary details such as client and matter name, practice area, and more.​

  3. Select Flat rate in the Billing type field.​

  4. Input the flat fee amount for the matter in the Billing Rate field.

  5. Click Create to create the flat fee matter.
