Creating and Updating Fee Offers

You can create, copy, or update a fee offer using flat, hourly, or detailed hourly fees. The rates are input when a law firm has registered with CounselLink but have not yet been assigned matters in it. This process can be followed again when the rates are updated at the beginning of a new fiscal year.

Only one fee offer can be valid at any time for a fee structure. Effective fee offers will remain active until the effective date of a new offer has arrived. When the new offer goes into effect, current matters assigned to that fee structure can bill at the new rate.

NOTE The instructions in this section cover the most common type of billing arrangements. Not all fee offers will show the sections in each screenshot, as these settings are customized for each corporate customer.
