GLEbill Now Available

Posted on by in GLEbill, GLEbill Features, GLEbill Value Proposition

Today Law Firm billers need significant experience, skills and tools to ebill successfully.  Tools like GLEbill once existed in the marketplace, but all have either been withdrawn or evolved into more fulsome and expensive back-office systems.

GLEbill is a standalone, SaaS-based system hosted in Azure with Microsoft reliability behind it.  No setup is required; users only need to subscribe and then log in to GLEbill to begin working.

With its efficient, intuitive interface, GLEbill helps users to easily and logically create legal ebills in any LEDES® format.  Users can also import LEDES invoices and, if necessary,  migrate to any other LOC-endorsed format/version.  Not only that, users also can import only header information from another LEDES invoice on the same matter or for the same client to short-cut invoice creation.  GLEbill, via the proprietary GLEbill Template™, can also be a solution for firms without the ability to record time or create LEDES ebills.

GLEbill normalizes the layout of all LEDES formats into a single template, validates invoice data on import and export, accommodates custom values and hi-jacked fields, logically groups invoice data into tabs and sections, identifies required fields, provides field help, auto-calculates invoice math, auto-numbers invoice line items and offers a proprietary template to facilitate off-line invoice creation.

Importantly, when a user exports an invoice or returns to the GLEbill home screen, all traces of their invoice are removed.  Nothing remains in the cloud, which means GLEbill complies with global privacy rules.

For legal clients mandating ebilling, the information-rich XML ebilling formats are now in reach: anyone can easily create and edit these invoice file types.  This is one of the reasons we developed GLEbill.

GLEbill is an offering by Global Legal Ebilling and its founder Jane A. Bennitt, a legal ebilling industry titan.  GLEbill incorporates her decades of experience into a platform meant to make legal ebilling issues disappear.  Give GLEbill and try and see why we it think it is Legal Ebilling Perfected™

TR Acquires Pagero

Posted on by in Product Acquisition, Tax Compliance/CTC Systems

Yesterday Thomson Reuters announced the acquisition of Pagero Group AB, a Swedish company that provides a secure network to enable an automated, secure, and compliant exchange of invoices and other documents that seamlessly integrates with customers’ ERP systems.  The company was acquired for $800M USD and currently provides solutions in 75 different countries.  With Continuous Tax Control systems spreading across the globe like wildfire, this puts TR ahead of other legal ebilling providers in terms of having a potential end-to-end-to-end solution for law firm back office systems to governmental CTC to legal ebilling client systems.  Smart move.

Third Party Exposure is One of the Most Reliable Predictors of Business-Impacting Cyber Events

Posted on by in Cyber Threats, Excellent Reading

Today’s Mitratech Minutes provided interesting insight in a LinkedIn post entitled, “The Digital Supply Chain as the New Frontline: What 2025 Revealed and How Risk Leaders Should Prepare for 2026.” Mitratech reports that in 2025, third-party exposure became one of the most reliable predictors of business-impacting cyber events, adding that a clear shift has emerged: attackers increasingly pursuing access through vendors, integrations, and shared platforms because it scales. The article is definitely worth a read by all legal technologists. It is available here.

Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan, Mitratech Parent, Obtains New Financing

Posted on by in Ebilling Vendor Systems, EBMM

Reuters reported last February (see post) that Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan was seeking a buyer for Mitratech.  It was reported today, however, that Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan has obtained  $2B financing from a group of credit investors led by Blackstone and including Antares Capital, replacing its old lender group that included Golub Capital, UBS, Barclays, and Deutsche Bank that provided $780M of financing allowing for the majority acquisition in 2021 by OTPP from HG.  See here for information on this current financing deal.  With financing like that, I predict more system acquisitions by Mitratech are coming.

Priori Adds Ebilling Functionality

Posted on by in EBMM

Priori, a legal technology platform for outside counsel decision-making, has launched a flexible ebilling integration and Next Steps Flow within its Panel Management and RFP platform. This new functionality provides post-RFP accountability and budget oversight without limiting which ebilling provider is used by Priori clients.

Hercules AI Verify Acquired

Posted on by in Product Acquisition

Some time ago I posted about an outside counsel guidelines validation tool called Verify made by Hercules AI.  I saw it at the ILTA Summer Conference and was bowled over by the product.

It has been reported that Hercules AI has sold 3 of its products, Verify, Apollo (an AI-powered time capture tool) and Athena (an AI-driven email management tool) to Aderant.  See here for the press release.

It will be interesting to see what Aderant does with these systems to enhance its product suite, especially the Verify system.
