Why Lawyers Choose Evolvv
Legal billing requires dignity and precision. This template differentiates between 'Professional Fees' and 'Out of Pocket Expenses' (Court fees, Clerkage), ensuring your accounts remain clean and compliant.
Hearing-wise Itemization
Bill with precision. Use the line item description to list specific hearing dates, case numbers, and court names (e.g., 'Arguments on 12/05/2024'). This granularity is essential for taxation.
Clerkage & Expenses
Separate your costs. Use the 'Additional Charges' section to add standard Clerkage (e.g., 10%) or reimbursements for court fees and photocopying separate from your main fee.
Case Reference Linking
Organize your files. Use the 'Reference Number' field to link the invoice to a specific Case ID, Legal Services Agreement, or Retainer Contract.
Custom 'Memo' Prefixes
Maintain convention. Customize your invoice numbering prefix in settings (e.g., change 'INV-' to 'MEMO-' or 'FN-') to align with the 'Memo of Fees' format.
RCM (Reverse Charge) Notes
Compliance ready. Easily disable tax for business clients under RCM and add a standard note: 'Tax Payable by Service Recipient under Reverse Charge Mechanism'.
Privilege Disclaimer
Protect your communications. Automatically append a footer note regarding 'Privileged & Confidential Communication' to every invoice using the Terms Template.
How to Create a Professional
Lawyer Invoice
Billing correctly is crucial for getting paid on time. Follow these 4 simple steps to create a perfect invoice in minutes.
Set the Prefix
In Branding Settings, set your prefix to 'MEMO-' or 'FEE-'. This helps distinguish legal fee notes from standard commercial invoices.
Detail the Appearances
Itemize charges by Hearing Date and Case Number. Example: 'Appearance before Hon'ble High Court on 12/05/2024'.
Add Clerkage
Don't mix expenses with fees. Add 'Clerkage @ 10%' as a separate line item or an 'Additional Charge'.
Add RCM Note
For corporate clients, disable tax and add the note: 'Liability to pay tax is on the Service Recipient (RCM)'.
