Reinvent your legacy processes for greater agility and insight

Solicitors should be reviewing cases—not expenses or invoices. Every transaction’s policy check, proper allocation, and final approval slows down even the savviest submitter. Emburse streamlines the most complex spend management process so you can focus on cases and growing the firm.

Why law firms love working with Emburse

A typical global Emburse customer will have operations in at least 20 countries, multiple general ledgers to allocate expense items to, multiple languages, and will require strict compliance to their own unique interpretation of local regulations. You're in need of global expense management solutions with languages, currencies, VAT, per diems, and international tax jurisdiction requirements out of the box. Emburse supports 183 currencies and 40 different tax jurisdictions so your employees don’t need to worry about exchange rates – just the job at hand.

Expense fraud just doesn’t happen in large corporations – as the headlines indicate, fraud can happen in government and law firms. Law firms require smart auditing tactics precipitated by expense policy violations – Emburse provides a secondary review process to help catch these policy violations and errors to eliminate the potential for fraudulent activity.

Delegates are often under a time crunch to enter expense reports. Wouldn’t it be helpful if they could drag and drop charges from corporate card statements onto the expense report? How easy would it be if partners could tap their Uber trip into an expense claim? Finance benefits, too, with seamless integrations with Elite and Aderant – so there’s no manual data entry. Corporate card programs are integrated, as are online booking tools, travel management companies like Altour or Ultramar, and travel technologies like Meridian or Quipsound for VAT recovery. Your firm is never beholden to list of approved vendors –Emburse adapts to your firm’s needs and growth.

We know the reality of your industry. Your top people will manage multiple cases. You might relocate a small team or even send members overseas to work on a high profile case. Having flexible expense reporting software that can easily allocate charges to multiple projects is a requirement. Emburse expense reports can include charges whether it’s all for one client, different expenses for different cases, or even split a single expense line item. And we make multiple allocations intuitive for the end user by handling everything behind the scenes with completely configurable business rules.
