The Collections Problem

The Final Hurdle: When Getting Paid Is Harder Than Doing the Work

Most law firms win the work, do the work — then lose a significant portion of what they earned in the billing and collections gap. The revenue is real. It just never arrives.

Hours Ultimately Collected

Lost to slow payments and write-offs

"We aren’t getting paid on time, and it feels like we’re writing off too much. I spend my days chasing payments instead of focusing on other crucial work. What could I accomplish with the 10 hours a week I’d get back from a more efficient system? The cost of inaction is lost revenue and a constant cash flow squeeze."

AR Billing Clerk

Law Firm Operations

"Slow collections directly impact our ability to operate and invest in growth. We can’t afford to have our earned revenue locked up in aging AR. We need a more efficient way to collect what we’ve earned."

The LeanLaw System

How LeanLaw Turns Collections From a Chore Into a System

Two integrated capabilities work together to close the gap between invoice sent and cash received — so your firm stops chasing and starts collecting.

E-Payments

Make It Effortless for Clients to Pay You

Payment links embedded directly in every invoice let clients pay with a credit card or ACH — no phone calls, no checks in the mail. By making it easy to pay, you get paid faster. Firms using LeanLaw see their invoices paid, on average, 5–10 days faster, immediately improving cash flow.

  • Pay-by-link embedded in every invoice
  • Credit card and ACH both accepted
  • Automatic reconciliation to QuickBooks Online
  • Trust-safe payment processing
AR Management

Automate Your Follow-Up and AR Management

A real-time AR dashboard shows every outstanding invoice at a glance with aging analysis at 30, 60, and 90+ days overdue. Automated payment reminders go out on schedule so nothing slips through the cracks. Reduce your AR aging by up to 30 days, freeing up significant capital, and reclaim 5–10 hours of administrative time every week.

  • Real-time AR dashboard — always current
  • Aging analysis: 30 / 60 / 90+ day buckets
  • Automated payment reminders
  • Reduce AR aging by up to 30 days
