Overview
MBR works in five stages. Invoices arrive in LEDES format, by direct upload or through an existing e-billing system, with no change to law firms' billing workflow. Software then checks each invoice against billing guidelines, approved rate tables, UTBMS codes and alternative fee arrangements. Machine learning looks for patterns such as rate creep and unusual hours. Expert auditors then review every flagged item, judge ambiguous charges like block billing or senior staffing on routine tasks, and negotiate adjustments directly with law firms. Every reviewed invoice feeds the PlatoBI Legal Spend Dashboard, which shows amount billed, invoice counts, processing time, guideline compliance and firm performance in real time. Because review, matter tracking and analytics share one system, there is no handoff between an e-billing tool and a separate review service. Mitratech reports 97%+ invoice accuracy, a 2 to 3X return on the cost of the service and more than $4.5 billion in invoices reviewed. It says MBR is most valuable for organizations with over $1 million in annual outside counsel spend, inconsistent guideline compliance or limited line-item visibility, and is most often used in insurance, financial services and large enterprises.

E-billing software is self-service: your team configures rules, reviews flagged invoices and handles disputes. Managed bill review adds credentialed auditors on top of the software who review flagged items, apply judgment to charges like block billing or hours inflation, and negotiate adjustments with law firms on your behalf.
No. Outside counsel can submit invoices in LEDES format, by direct upload or through integration with your existing e-billing system, so law firms keep their current billing workflow. Each invoice is then validated automatically, analyzed with machine learning and reviewed by expert auditors before payment.
