  • Group hours by task categories (research, document prep, filings)
  • Use a matter reference that matches the firm’s records
Clear categories help attorneys and finance teams approve invoices faster.

Document Preparation and Filing Work on Invoices

Many paralegal engagements revolve around documents and submissions.

Common tasks
  • Drafting and formatting documents
  • Managing exhibits and attachments
  • Filing support and submission prep
Listing these tasks as separate line items helps show value and clarifies what was performed.

Matching Paralegal Invoices to Law Firm Billing Workflows

Law firms often require consistent invoice references.

  • Keep line item labels consistent across invoices
  • Provide alternate formatting if billing codes or task codes are required
This reduces rework and helps invoices move through approvals smoothly.
