The Legal Billing Problem

Why Do Law Firms Leave Millions on the Table Every Year?

The average law firm bills only 63% of its tracked billable hours — and collects only 78% of what it invoices. That means more than one in three hours worked generates zero revenue. Manual billing, inconsistent WIP follow-up, and paper-based trust accounting are systematic revenue destroyers.

Client Results

What Law Firms Are Saying.

Realization rate: 79% → 93% · $480K added in year one
Our realization rate was stuck at 79% for three years. We assumed it was a client mix problem. Singoa showed us it was a billing timing problem — partners were releasing entries 40+ days after the work was done. We restructured our billing cycle, realization jumped to 93%, and we added $480,000 in collected revenue in 12 months.
