UTBMS Code

The goal of the UTBMS (Uniform Task-Based Management System) codes is to standardize the classification of the many sub-tasks in complex legal matters for e-billing. This would enable clients to collect data on exactly how much they were being charged for each legal sub-task, and ultimately to manage those costs. This is helpful in loading Time Entries for each task as well. The invoices are promptly processed containing the corresponding task description and the UTBMS code for each task performed.
