Spend management
Legal spend management software with e-billing for in-house teams
Improve visibility, increase efficiency, and control your costs
Customer Story
One of the key things I wanted was efficiency and that record around the scope of the engagement, the estimate of costs, and the ability for the law firms to upload their invoices. This was so we could start to capture the information and report on external legal spend, inform the leadership team on emerging risk areas, trends, and overall legal costs.….we use LawVu across every aspect of our work
