LawAOS platform

Turn legal work into reviewable time, professional invoices, and recorded payments.

Q: Does finalizing an invoice automatically send it?

No. Finalizing and sending are distinct actions. A firm can download and deliver an invoice separately, then mark it as sent when appropriate.

Q: Can a finalized invoice return to draft?

A finalized unpaid invoice can return to draft under the invoice state rules. A paid invoice should instead be duplicated into a new draft when correction is needed.

Q: Can clients pay an invoice online?

Online invoice payment is available when the firm configures its supported payment provider and the invoice is eligible for payment.

Q: Does LawAOS replace professional accounting advice?

No. LawAOS provides operational records and accounting workflows. Firms remain responsible for their accounting policies, reconciliations, and professional review.

LawAOS connects time and disbursements to matters, supports draft and finalized invoice workflows, records payments, and keeps firm finance context close to the work that created it.

One operating record

Billing begins with the work record and ends with an accountable payment history.

The same firm, matter, client, document, permission, and activity context follows the work. Teams spend less time reconciling systems, and administrators keep one accountable record of what happened.

Time and disbursements

Record billable time, expenses, rates, narratives, approvals, and matter context before an invoice is raised.

Controlled invoice lifecycle

Keep invoices in draft, finalize for review, send deliberately, record payment, duplicate safely, or void with clear state rules.

Firm financial context

Connect receivables, expenses, journals, budgets, trust workflows, and reporting without turning the matter team into accountants.

How work moves

A clear path from instruction to accountable completion.

01

Capture and review

Collect time and disbursements against the correct client and matter, then review narratives and rates before billing.

02

Finalize deliberately

Prepare the invoice, verify bill-to details and taxes, then finalize without automatically sending it to the client.

03

Send and reconcile

Send through the system or mark a manually delivered invoice as sent, then record payments and outstanding balances.

Operational control

Flexible for lawyers. Governed for the firm.

Access follows the firm and the assigned work. High-impact actions can require review while routine work remains fast.

Firm isolationRecords and actions remain scoped to the active law firm.

Role-aware accessPermissions follow the member, module, and assigned work.

Activity historyMaterial changes retain an accountable operating trail.

Human reviewSensitive or irreversible work stays under authorized control.
