Elite, a leading provider of financial and practice management solutions to the world’s most successful law firms, has brought the power of AI and machine learning to eBillingHub, the market-leading e-billing platform, to significantly accelerate the categorization and analysis of rejected invoices. 

Within the latest version of eBillingHub, users are able to addresses the challenge of non-uniform electronic billing rejections, by leveraging Microsoft® Azure OpenAI technology to automatically categorize rejected invoices. More specifically, law firms can easily and more quickly address rejected invoices through automatic, AI-powered categorization of the reason codes, which can then swiftly be reviewed and addressed by a biller.

In addition, an enhanced dashboard is now available within eBillingHub, providing a brand-new visual presentation of the number of rejected invoices in the tracking page. Users can instantly see categorized rejections at-a-glance—both by rejection category and by vendor—and are able to click through and quickly act on the rejected invoices.

Taken together, this new AI-powered categorization functionality promises to significantly streamline the e-billing workflow, enabling e-billing teams to quickly address rejections by vendor within a specific category and allowing firms to get paid faster.

“We worked directly with customers to solve an important pain-point for their e-billing processes, namely, how to automate and accelerate the handling of larger volumes of rejected invoices,” said Ahad Shafiq, senior product manager for eBillingHub at Elite. “This partnership approach, coupled with the power of AI and machine learning, have provided an innovative solution which further transforms and optimizes the e-billing process.”

This is the second AI-based innovation to be unveiled by Elite recently. In August, the company launched a new automated time entry capability for users of its flagship financial and practice management solution 3E, in which generative AI technology from the Microsoft Azure OpenAI Service creates draft timecard narratives with just the click of a button.

“This new application of AI within eBillingHub is just the latest example of how we are innovating and pushing the boundaries, in order to reduce administrative tasks and speed up business processes for our customers,” added Elisabet Hardy, head of product at Elite.

Leading New Zealand law firm Anderson Lloyd has chosen 3E®, the market-leading financial and practice management solution from Elite, as its cloud-based technology foundation for the future. 

Anderson Lloyd is a leading New Zealand law firm focused on achieving the best possible outcomes for its clients, with a long history of supporting the industries that make New Zealand successful. The firm’s approach to innovation has consistently led to it being recognized as an industry leader, and its team is comprised of more than 170 partners and staff across offices in Dunedin, Auckland, Christchurch, and Queenstown.

In selecting its new financial and practice management solution, the firm wanted to move to a genuine SaaS platform that removed the need for the management and maintenance of an on-premises solution. By moving to the cloud-native version of 3E, Anderson Lloyd will be supported by a fully managed service provided by Elite, powered by the Microsoft® Azure® platform and offering cloud confidence with nearly unlimited scale, 24/7 monitoring, and advanced security that is unmatched in the industry.

In addition, Anderson Lloyd now has access to flexible and powerful new tools and capabilities for billing, time capture, and management reporting. More specifically, the firm’s move to passive time recording—using the Always-on Time capability available in 3E—will enable Anderson Lloyd to capture billable activities more accurately and free up the team to focus on delivering an exceptional client experience. 

“We are delighted to be moving to 3E,” said Richard Greenaway, Chief Executive Officer of Anderson Lloyd. “This is a large endeavor for the firm but positions us well with a platform that has a strong investment pathway. It will enable us to take advantage of the rapidly changing technological landscape and operate efficiently and securely whilst better servicing and adding value to our clients.”

Elite has released a new on-premises version of 3E® (version 3.1), offering a number of enhancements which improve usability and day-to-day processes for users.

Among the key updates included in the 3.1 release of 3E is a new, seamless integration with LawPay, a real-time online payment processing application allowing users’ clients to pay invoices by credit card – saving time and reducing data entry errors, posting date discrepancies and requirements to manage client payment data in separate systems. 

Other key enhancements in the on-premises version include: (1) the ability to alter the fiscal year start (in response to the UK Tax Period Basis Change), as well as improved rate management capabilities; (2) changes to Proforma Edit to incorporate a new ‘full grid’ for details, introducing additional editable columns that allow users to make changes directly; and (3) support for SQL Server 2022 and Windows Server 2022.

As part of a multi-product deal, leading Malaysian law firm Halim Hong & Quek is adopting 3E® and 3E MatterSphere® from Elite, the leading provider of financial and practice management solutions to law firms worldwide.

Founded in 2000, Halim Hong & Quek (HHQ) has more than 40 lawyers offering clients a full suite of legal services, with a significant focus on corporate real estate. Through its presence in three major cities across Malaysia—Kuala Lumpur, Johor Bahru, and Penang—HHQ represents clients from around the world in complex transactions and high-stakes litigation. HHQ is also a member firm of Andersen Global, an association of legally separate, independent member firms with more than 13,000 professionals in more than 170 countries and 390 locations.

Elite offers a suite of solutions—including 3E, ProLaw®, eBillingHub®, and MatterSphere—aimed at improving law firm finance and accounting operations such as billing, invoicing, payments, and financial reporting. For HHQ, the deployment of 3E provides a highly flexible, but immensely powerful, technological foundation to support the acceleration of its business.

More specifically, the firm will benefit from a reduction in the time between completing client work and receiving payment, improving cash flow, and enabling even faster growth. In addition, the firm’s significant real estate practice will benefit from the robust automation capabilities available in MatterSphere, enabling lower costs and an even better experience for clients.

“As a firm on a fast-growth trajectory which caters to a growing global market, we recognized the necessity for a robust technological infrastructure that could meet our future needs,” said Dato’ Quek Ngee Meng, Managing Partner at HHQ. "In this regard, 3E is an ideal solution as it offers remarkable adaptability and will continue to progress alongside our evolving requirements to provide our clients with a seamless experience."

Leading firm chooses 3E and MatterSphere to meet their robust technological needs today and into the future.

Elite Unveils New Generative AI Time Entry Capability

Ohio-based law firm Graham Law was an early adopter of ProLaw, the law practice management and finance software from Elite. It first implemented the solution in the late 1990s. Lawyers, paralegals, administrative, and accounting staff now use ProLaw for a wide range of office requirements, including case management, cost recovery, docketing, and time entry. Today, the firm — which specializes in personal injury and comprises workers’ compensation, disability, criminal defense, and trusts and estates practices — is still finding new ways to use ProLaw to underpin success.	

Transparent case management and cohesive functionality are two of the most significant benefits to the firm. "It's our main case management software. Everyone uses it every day: our attorneys, our paralegals, our accountant, our support staff," says Wendy Ashby, Administrative Assistant. She added, “One of the biggest attractions was that the front-office and back-office functionality work together. You don’t need a separate back-office accounting system from the case management side."

Q&A with Wendy Ashby, Administrative Assistant at Graham Law


Wendy says, "We could find all of the cases in one place and see what each other were doing. There would be less repetition – everyone could use the same forms and templates, and we’d be able to easily track what was going on in each case. Plus, it would streamline processes."

What are the top 3 aspects of ProLaw for your firm?

According to Wendy, “The case management, time entry, and cost recovery capabilities of ProLaw are extremely important.

“Attorneys like the fact that they can pull up documents quickly and make changes, or if they are new to a case, they can easily see what progress has already happened so far and get up to speed quickly. They can also enter their time as they go along and keep track of their hours on each matter in a straightforward manner.

“When it comes to tracking fees that a department or attorney has brought in, ProLaw makes it easy to retrieve this information. Individuals and the firm can see where we stand against goals for the year and how well we’re recovering costs.”

Wendy: “In recent years we’ve started to use it more for marketing. For example, we created a custom tab in contacts to store information about how new clients found out about the firm, and the contacts database provides a vital source of information for following up on leads. We’ve built up a lot of client information in ProLaw over the last 25 years, and we want to make use of that data in our marketing.

“Using ProLaw has created efficiencies by removing the duplication of effort and making processes faster. For example, adjusting how expenses or receivables are managed on the accounting side, or eliminating the need to send emails and save documents separately on the case management side because it integrates with Microsoft Outlook and Word and so on. And if an attorney goes to a conference and they learn of a new form, we can put it in ProLaw so everyone can use it."

Since 1990, Ohio-based firm has been finding new ways to use ProLaw to underpin success.

In order to drive its business to the next level in terms of flexibility, security, and profitability, Top 200 UK law firm Lee & Thompson is adopting 3E, the industry-leading, cloud-based enterprise business management solution from Elite.

Founded in 1983, Lee & Thompson is one of the UK’s leading law firms for the media, technology, and creative industries. The firm advises both talented individuals and innovative businesses, counting international media organizations, major brands, rights owners, production companies, design houses, record labels, media and tech entrepreneurs, and many of the world’s most successful creative talents among its clients.

Lee & Thompson sought a new, more flexible, and more resilient practice management solution to support the firm’s evolution toward hybrid working in a secure, seamless, and truly unified way. This meant bringing together business functions and processes—like accounting, file opening, time capture, matter management, WIP management, billing, expenses and disbursements, credit control, reporting, group/firm budgeting and forecasting, and process automation—all in one place and based flexibly and securely in the cloud.

By choosing 3E, Lee & Thompson will be supported by a fully managed service provided by Elite, powered by the Microsoft® Azure® platform and offering cloud confidence with nearly unlimited scale, 24/7 monitoring, and advanced security that is unmatched in the industry.

“The approach that Elite has with 3E is clearly the best one for firms like us, allowing firms at a smaller level to benefit from being on the same platform that the most successful firms in the UK and the world are currently on,” said Simon Boyden, Chief Financial & Operations Officer at Lee & Thompson. “Aside from ensuring we are always up to date, 3E will have a transformative impact on our operational excellence, allowing more accurate time recording, enhancing our matter management, improving the visibility of profitability metrics, and speeding up our work-to-cash cycle. Ultimately this will enable us to focus on delivering a superior client experience.”

“It was essential for us to ensure that any platform to which we were moving was a true cloud solution and was extremely resilient and secure,” commented the firm’s Head of IT Rob Hilton. “We are confident that 3E Cloud represents a vastly superior choice in terms of cloud architecture. Its adoption will put our firm on the most robust and secure platform in the legal industry—both now and in the future.”

“3E has always been known in the industry as the solution of choice for larger law firms, therefore it is refreshing that an independent firm like L&T is now able to benefit from the same functionality through 3E,” added Head of Finance Martin Hare.
