Twenty-five things a reviewer would have signed off
A $113,616 closing bill with quiet rate creep, AI learning-curve hours, a summer student on substantive research and $53,028 in play. The real product, from the invoice arriving to the letter going back.

Dear Counsel,
Invoice NW-2026-0701-HB dated July 31, 2026 (total: $113,616.00) for matter NW-ATLAS-2026 — Project Atlas has been reviewed using CounselAudit's bill-review software.
I'd like to discuss the following 2 items with you:
== Staffing ==
1. Entry: "Familiarize with matter background; review prior work product including the transaction term sheet, escrow agreement drafts and diligence memoranda to get up to speed on the acquisition structure. (6.50)."
On this entry, we'd like to propose adjusting this charge from $4,550.00 to $0.00 (reduction of $4,550.00).
Read-in and transition time is non-billable; firm-initiated staffing changes should not be charged to the client.
Reviewer note: D. Okafor joined mid-matter. Onboarding a replacement is the firm's cost to carry. Happy to discuss.
== Expenses ==
2. Entry: "Westlaw legal research access", "Harvey AI subscription" and "Internal photocopying"
On these 3 entries, we'd like to propose adjusting the group total from $3,867.50 to $0.00 (reduction of $3,867.50).
These expenses appear to be firm overhead costs (research subscriptions, photocopying). Could you confirm these are direct matter expenses?
Please review the items above and provide clarification or revised billing where appropriate. If you believe any item has been raised in error, please respond with supporting detail.
Best regards,

Also in the product
Email intake
Every organization gets a dedicated intake address. Firms email invoices the way they always have; parsing and review run on arrival.
Your guidelines, enforced
Import your outside counsel guidelines from PDF or Word. AI extracts the clauses, maps them to checks, and the letter cites your own language back to the firm.
Works inside Claude
A full MCP connector: audit an invoice, resolve flags and draft the review letter from a Claude conversation, with the same permissions as the app.
Budgets, WIP and estimates
Set matter budgets, track work in progress before it becomes a bill, and hold firm estimates next to what actually arrives.
Finance-ready approvals
Approving an invoice notifies finance with the payable amount, GL coding and the invoice attached. Every decision lands in the audit log.
Multi-currency, multi-jurisdiction
USD, CAD, GBP and EUR invoices keep their own currency end to end, and review explanations adapt to US, Canadian and UK billing practice.
That is the whole loop
Invoice in, rules run, flags evidenced, decisions logged, letter sent. Setting it up on your own invoices takes about ten minutes, and the trial runs 14 days with no card.
