Let’s get this out of the way first: “UTBMS” is the acronym for “Uniform Task-Based Management System.”
Why should this matter to your selection of legal software ?
UTBMS
was released by the American Bar Association Litigation Section in
2002, after the American Corporate Counsel Association had used a task
force to develop the codes. It grew out of a need recognized by Attorney
Sally Fiona King and her experience overseeing outside counsel invoices
on behalf of her corporate legal department.
The goal in
creating uniform billing codes used in legal billing software is to
group individual activities by various people into the same or similar
types of legal work product. There are different sets of codes for
different types of cases, such as one set of UTBMS codes for litigation
cases and another for Worker’s Compensation cases.
The
UTBMS uniform codes used in Easy Soft’s legal software allow attorneys
and clients alike to understand and strategize the use of resources for
legal projects. Should there be more emphasis on client communication,
negotiations, legal research, or drafting? In the Easy Soft attorney
billing software , these UTBMS law office software billing codes are
selected and print side-by-side to the description for services
performed.
One easy way to evaluate the strength of features
offered by Easy Soft’s TimeBill and Trust Accounting software is to
review the legal software comparison chart put together by the American
Bar Association. The ABA chart highlights the important features of
legal billing software and trust accounting software of Easy Soft and
several of our competitors. In this head-to-head comparison, you can see
from the ABA chart that Easy Soft’s “Easy TimeBill” and “Easy Trust”
attorney billing software are affordable, packed with features like the
UTBMS billing codes, and fully tech supported for your law office
operations.
If you and your client want monthly bills that are a
useful tool for legal resource allocation, then you need the Easy Soft
legal billing software and trust accounting software with UTBMS billing
codes.We’ve been waiting for you to come along since 1986. Don’t you
