Key Features

Auto-Produce Precedent H, R & S

LAWFUSION users can auto-produce the Precedent H (cost budget), the Precedent R (the Budget Discussion Report) and the Precedent S (the new Electronic Bill of Costs) in Excel format straight from the LAWFUSION Costs Management Module.

Costing Templates

LAWFUSION users are able to customise litigation costing templates on a case-by-case basis and allocate time budgets against the ‘Cost Stages’. Users can also choose to save an existing case configuration as a template for specific ‘cost styles’.

J-Codes

The LAWFUSION Costs Management Module also provides functionality that enables firms to use of litigation codes (born out of the original J-Codes theory) for litigation ‘tasks’ and ‘activities’.

Users are given traffic light style warnings when booking entries and allocating them against costs if they are getting near or going to exceed a limit allocated.
