Legal software solutions provider, Eclipse Legal Systems, has unveiled the latest addition to its ‘Proclaim®’ software suite (voted ‘Integrated System of the Year’ at the 2008 Legal Technology Awards).

This latest development sees Proclaim®’s Billing functionality undergo significant enhancement, further strengthening the software’s increasingly popular practice management features. Traditionally one of the market’s leading Case Management systems, recent years have seen Proclaim® offer a fully-integrated Practice Management platform, with its optional Accounts module now in use at over 120 law firms. The last year has seen practices choose Proclaim® Accounts over competitor offerings from vendors including Axxia, Iris and Linetime.

The Billing feature allows fee earners to select any disbursement to bill, and enables them to decide to bill work by percentage and across chosen dates. Bills are instantaneously forwarded to the practice’s accounting team, or nominated cashier, for approval and entry into the relevant nominal.

All bills are fully customisable, and can be itemised and created upon numerous criteria (for example, fixed fee, time / WIP based, by fee earner(s), by transaction(s), etc).
