Set Up Matter Level Fee Allocations

You can override the default timekeeper fee allocations and set up other party fee allocations, such as the originating attorney or responsible attorney, at the matter level.

Set up Matter Level Fee Allocations

Important: Use this setting when the timekeeper’s allocation percentage differs from the default percentage allocated at the timekeeper level. This setting determines what portion of an invoice’s billed or collected fees are attributable to an attorney’s pay.

To override default timekeeper fee allocations at the matter level:

  1. From the left navigation panel, click Matters.
  2. From the Matters screen, double click a matter and scroll down to its Summary section..
  3. From the tabs atop the Summary Section, click Settings (gear icon).
  4. From the tabs atop the Settings section, Click Fee Allocation.
  5. Slide on the toggle button beside Enable Fee Allocation For this Matter.
  6. In the Timekeeper Allocation section, click Individualized % For Certain Timekeepers (The rest would be at the Timekeeper level).
  7. Click Add.

    Note: You only need to add timekeepers entitled to a percentage other than that specified at the timekeeper level.

  8. From the drop-down, click the timekeeper.
  9. Enter the allocation percentage.
  10. Click Save.

Setup Matter Level Party Allocations

  • Firms use this feature when parties other than timekeepers receive a portion of billed/collected fees. Each attorney who receives a portion of the fees must be set up with a party type and percentage.

  1. From the left navigation panel, click Matters.
