Brightflag has transformed how we manage global legal spend **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Richelle P. | Brand Protection Specialist, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 01, 2026 **What do you like best about Brightflag?** Brightflag provides complete, actionable visibility into our global legal spend while streamlining the entire invoicing and reporting workflow. Having each invoice attached to its corresponding matter makes it easy to approve or reject, and it also enables quick verification that invoice details align with our policies. **What do you dislike about Brightflag?** Some of the AI responses aren’t quite up to speed when I request specific information. That said, most AI tools are still being built out to accommodate user inquiries, so I understand there may be gaps for now. **What problems is Brightflag solving and how is that benefiting you?** Brightflag has centralized our global legal spend and given us clear, actionable visibility across every region. With automated invoice controls, standardized requirements, and seamless review workflows, we’ve cut out unnecessary back-and-forth emailing and significantly improved billing compliance. Reporting that used to take hours of our time and manual effort is now instant, so we can deliver accurate KPIs and spend insights to leadership and business teams whenever they’re needed. The platform has also strengthened our partnership with AP by supporting consistent, compliant invoices and smoother processing. With country-level insights, better budgeting, and meaningful cost savings, Brightflag has become a core system that supports our strategy, day-to-day operations, and long-term planning. Their ongoing collaboration and yearly enhancements continue to improve our efficiency and visibility. **Official Response from Kevin Cohn:** > Thanks for your feedback! Last week we announced the next generation of Ask Brightflag, which is a big leap forward in terms of reasoning and analysis. Please reach out to your customer success manager to get on the early access list. Looking forward to hearing your reaction! ### 2. Streamlined Invoice Approvals with Outstanding Support but AI needs improving **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Lewis E. | Head of Legal Operations, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 01, 2026 **What do you like best about Brightflag?** The tool does a great job at providing a single source of information for all matters and relating costs. It has also given us the ability to structure our invoice approval workflows and ensure senior members of our Legal and Compliance teams have sufficient visibility to control and report on costs. We are now rolling Brightflag out for our global offices which is bringing the tool's ability to house conditional workflows, segregated matter access, and grouped user management to light nicely. The tool has also given us the ability to store and track timekeeper rates which is something we were not able to do before and the upcoming developments to the timekeeper rates screen should bring much needed structure and improved information to the process allowing us to manage these rates even more effectively. The support team is also one of the best I have encountered amongst the various softwares we use here at Glencore with the response time being second to none. I am also very appreciative of the customer success team and the time they take to listen and onboard our feedback, whether positive or negative, and the effort they have put into assisting me with demonstrating the tool's ROI to my superiors. The level of detail we are able to report on via the reporting function gives us much needed insight into various costs aspects (e.g. rates comparison, project costs and where they originate etc.) and the scheduler also helps provide our senior team members with even further visibility into where we are incurring costs and why. **What do you dislike about Brightflag?** There are some aspects of the tool that seem neglected. For example, if users leave comments on invoices, those comments are not visible anywhere nor are they notified to anyone unless other reviewers specifically open the comments tab on the invoice. The matter creation process has some flaws, for example, the allocations now no longer being a mandatory part of the creation process or the lack of being able to place approvals on matter creations with conditional workflows. My biggest dislike is actually the AI review. There is now a lot that AI is able to do and for a tool that markets itself as being the best ebilling tool for AI, I find it lacks in some areas. For example, the AI does not always catch line-item discrepancies such as blocked billing or often flags communication between firm and client as internal communication. The ability to store and track whether agreed discounts lack and even with the VTDs, given the nature of the vendor profile, you cannot track VTDs for firms that have multiple vendor profiles as there is no ability to group these and aggregate the spend which is actually most of the large firms. The tool should also be able to assist with the most basic admin review, such as invoice addresses, ensuring bank account information is included, and it would be helpful if we were able to store currencies paying entities can pay in within the tool so the tool can flag any instances where an entity has been billed in a currency it cannot pay in. The inability to also have redline comparisons between invoice drafts feels like an oversight, especially as the tool's biggest benefit is the invoice write-down aspect and not being to control or monitor whether the firms have actually made the changes is frustrating for our reviewers. That brings me onto the next item which are the paying entities. It is not unusual to have multiple paying entities on a single matter, especially for clients that operate globally. It would therefore be helpful to have the ability to add multiple Matter Entities to the matter to help assist with this. There are also some features of the tool that feel as if they have now been thought out fully. For example, the recent implementation of conditional allocations not being extended to the invoice review screen which can create more confusion that anything else on the client side, as well as the recent addition of having an order to the allocation fields, even for clients who use allocations that do not have any correlation with one another in practice. Setting these allocations on an entity level is also something that would assist given Accounting will only extend cost centres on an entity-by-entity basis. Another example would be the inability to select whether an invoice is billed using hourly rates or on a fixed fee basis as part of the manual invoice upload process or the fact that currency conversions within the tool seem to cause issues with invoices uploaded by vendors that require their timekeeper rates to be converted to the invoice currency. The tool would also benefit from having an integrated rate card collation functionality. We recently had to run this entire process manually outside of Brightflag, however, being able to run a rate review process within the tool would be most helpful not least because the contacts, the email notification system, and the rates are all already stored within the tool. Finally, after having used the tool for a year, the cost savings via invoice write-downs were not as high as estimated. This of course comes down to very nuanced aspects that are difficult to control such as the ongoing matters themselves, the user engagement on the tool, and the agreements we have with firms outside of the tool. I do believe, however, that with improved AI functionality, we would see better user engagement which for me is clearest path forward to increasing the tool's ROI and providing higher cost savings. Many costs have of course also been avoided rather than saved thanks to Brightflag's functionalities and the awareness is raises amongst firms, but the cost savings number itself is of course always the number viewed as the most important by senior management. **What problems is Brightflag solving and how is that benefiting you?** The tool is certainly giving us the added visibility which helps manage both internal team members and firms themselves when it comes to budgeting and general cost control or rate negotiations. As I mentioned previously, it has also given us more structure to invoice approvals and ensures that these approvals are tracked within a system rather than via emails which are often lost. The communication with firms on invoicing has also been improved as part of this process and it has helped our General Counsel, amongst others, to negotiate better rates and put some pressure on firms to provide us with more attractive price offerings in general. ### 3. Easy to Use/Intuitive; Fantastic Customer Support **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Medical Devices | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 16, 2024 **What do you like best about Brightflag?** Brightflag is an easy-to-use, intuitive interface that even users without training were able to use and adapt to from prior system. There are very helpful features (seeing accruals) and field names on reports that make sense. The customer support is excellent -- helpful and responsive. A pleasure to deal with them. The team was also fantastic about doing our transition within a short window, ensuring everything went smoothly with the legal and finance teams, and follow up was exactly what we requested and needed. BrightFlag's customer support continues to be responsive and helpful. Brightflag also continues to add features that make the tool better. I am also impressed that their customer support team works with us to get our vendors to be better in submitting needing information to manage our finances. UPDATE: We have now used Brightflag for 2 years. We appreciate the continued support and analysis of our spend, suggestions for us to improve our law firm compliance, as well as the ease of use of the tool. I cannot stress enough the difference in the tool and support compared to our prior vendor -- night and day! **What do you dislike about Brightflag?** Sometimes the sort or report fields are not easy to see online and need to export to use/work with. Would be helpful if more fields had sort options and reports could be used more easily online. This is not a dislike as opposed to room for improvement. **What problems is Brightflag solving and how is that benefiting you?** Manage legal spend versus budget and reviewing bills (including those that come in via PDF) with the same easy interface. Also capturing montly legal spend accruals. ### 4.

If anything comes up I will definitely update. **What problems is Brightflag solving and how is that benefiting you?** I must say it has significantly improved our legal invoice management process.

Brightflag Consolidated Our Legal Ops with Real-Time Matter and Budget Insights **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Lisa S. | Senior Manager, Counsel & Operations, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 16, 2026 **What do you like best about Brightflag?** In addition to the continued savings and support with our outside counsel spend, the Brightflag team guided us smoothly through the implementation process. We were able to consolidate several platforms we had been using for matter management, e-billing, case updates, document management, and more into Brightflag. Having a single, easily accessible source of information has made it much easier for the Legal Department to share updates with outside counsel and across business units. Our Senior Customer Success Manager, Sharon Palchak, continues to suggest new ideas for getting even more out of Brightflag, and she is truly a joy to work with. **What do you dislike about Brightflag?** The only real downside, in my view, is that there isn’t enough time or resources to develop every suggested improvement all at once. That said, Brightflag does a fantastic job prioritizing new features so they deliver the most positive impact for customers. **What problems is Brightflag solving and how is that benefiting you?** Having the ability to compare historical rates, as well as rates across all of our outside firms, has given us the data we need to push back on requested rate increases and better control them. Our legal team uses accruals and matter budgets to better understand and manage matter spend. More recently, we added Advanced Matter Management, and my GC now uses the dashboard daily to get valuable insight into current matters, spend, and workloads. Overall, we’ve seen year-over-year savings on outside counsel spend, along with better communication among multiple departments, outside counsel, and our Third-Party Administrators. ### 6. Streamlined Legal Ops with Proactive Customer Success **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Nicolas M. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 30, 2026 **What do you like best about Brightflag?** I really appreciate how Brightflag consolidates various tools into one platform, simplifying my workflow immensely. Instead of juggling e-billing, matter management, document storage, and a spreadsheet for case updates, I now have everything in one place. I can open it in seconds when a partner asks for updates. The historical rate data feature is a standout as it allows us to compare rates across outside firms quickly and back our negotiations with data, avoiding unnoticed increases. The accruals and budgets are useful for financial tracking each quarter. Implementation was smooth, and we've consistently saved on outside counsel spend. Communication has improved across departments and with outside counsel. Our Customer Success Manager, Sharon Palchak, is proactive, often suggesting new ways to leverage the platform rather than waiting for us to ask. This proactive approach keeps us progressing rather than stagnating. The setup was also very easy, with no major hiccups. **What do you dislike about Brightflag?** The only real frustration on my end is the simple reality that there is never enough time to develop every suggestion at once. The team has to choose what gets shipped first, and while they pick well, sometimes a feature I had hoped for ends up further down the line than I would like. Faster turnaround on invoice review automation and more flexible custom reporting would be my top picks, since both directly cut hours of manual work and would have the biggest day-to-day impact on legal ops teams like ours. **What problems is Brightflag solving and how is that benefiting you?** I manage matters, invoices, documents, and spend tracking on one platform with Brightflag, reducing tool-juggling. Rate negotiation improves with historical data, and we cut unnoticed increase slips. Implementation went smoothly, saving on outside counsel spend, and our CSM pushes us to optimize the platform. ### 7. Brightflag is a no brainer! Great platform, easy to use, great ROI! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Jamey M. | Casualty Claims Manager, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 01, 2026 **What do you like best about Brightflag?** For an organization that has never used a legal spend management took Brightflag offers just the right level of ease of use, return on investment, support and training and cost of onboarding. **What do you dislike about Brightflag?** This is not a Brightflag fault, but many of your existing partners will easily transition to Brightflag's use, but some will require a lot of hand holding. But overall, it has been a good transition for us. **What problems is Brightflag solving and how is that benefiting you?** Just having all invoices go through the same platform, measured against the same guidelines, is a blessing. Faster turnaround time for all entities has been great too. That doesn't even touch the data that we are compiling for future evaluation and use. **Official Response from Kevin Cohn:** > Thanks for your feedback! If any of your law firms/legal service providers ever needs any help whatsoever, please reach out to support@brightflag.com and we'll handle it, no questions asked. ### 8. Brightflag is a GAME CHANGER! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Oil & Energy | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 01, 2026 **What do you like best about Brightflag?** Brightflag helps keep all invoices and related details incredibly organized and easy to track. From receiving invoices on the platform, to internal approval, to approving them in the platform and processing payment, the whole workflow feels seamless. **What do you dislike about Brightflag?** I wish the platform would notify us when outside firms leave comments on invoices. I’d also like to receive rejection emails when the platform auto-rejects an invoice, with a clear explanation of which flag was triggered. A lot of the time, it feels like there’s room to improve notifications for the person processing and working invoices on the receiving end. **What problems is Brightflag solving and how is that benefiting you?** It’s nice to be able to track data in real time so we can review it as a company and monitor our spending, know how to manage that information, and be able to utilize dashboarding and reporting features for it. ### 9. Intuitive ELM with Strong Analytics **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Health, Wellness and Fitness | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 02, 2026 **What do you like best about Brightflag?** Brightflag is intuitive to use, and its AI chat assistant is a great resource when I need help. The analytics Brightflag provides are also very useful for staying on top of legal spend, and they help support Legal’s partnership with Finance. **What do you dislike about Brightflag?** Some straightforward edits still require reaching out to Brightflag to have them implemented. For example, updating vendor admins, changing recipients for scheduled reports, and editing workflows all seem to require Brightflag’s involvement. It would be great if Brightflag could move toward a system that gives customers more autonomy to make these kinds of changes on their own. Also, the search bar in the system doesn’t work very well and could definitely be improved. **What problems is Brightflag solving and how is that benefiting you?** Brightflag helps us streamline outside counsel billing. We can categorize matters and log timekeepers along with their rates and hours worked. The information Brightflag captures also gives us clearer insight into how Legal is spending the outside counsel budget, including which practice areas and which firms are driving that spend. Overall, it helps Legal maintain more control over costs and improve how we engage with law firms over time. ### 10. Effortless Legal Spend Management with Impressive AI Invoice Review **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Manufacturing | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 29, 2026 **What do you like best about Brightflag?** Brightflag makes legal spend management feel effortless. The AI-driven invoice review is genuinely impressive — it catches non‑compliant billing entries automatically, which saves hours of manual review. The interface is clean, intuitive, and fast, so it never feels like a chore to use. I also appreciate how easy it is to track budgets, accruals, and matter-level spend in real time. It gives me confidence that nothing is slipping through the cracks. **What do you dislike about Brightflag?** Any minor issues I’ve had were resolved quickly by their support team. **What problems is Brightflag solving and how is that benefiting you?** Brightflag has streamlined our entire invoice review process. Previously, we spent a lot of time manually checking line items, enforcing billing guidelines, and tracking spend across matters. Now, the system handles most of that automatically, which has made the workflow smoother and more consistent. It has also improved our visibility into legal spend, helping with forecasting, budgeting, and having more informed conversations with outside counsel. Overall, it has reduced administrative work while improving accuracy. ### 11. Intuitive UI, Strong Spend Visibility, and Excellent Customer Success Support **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Legal Services | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 24, 2026 **What do you like best about Brightflag?** Brightflag is one of those legal tech tools that simply works well in day-to-day use. The UI is intuitive, clean and easy to understand, even for users who only interact with the system occasionally, for example to review and approve invoices. That matters a lot in a corporate legal environment because adoption depends heavily on whether business users and lawyers can use a tool without lengthy explanations. For admins and Legal Operations users, Brightflag is also easy to configure and manage. Approval workflows, matter structures and other setup elements can be adjusted without the system feeling overly complex or technical. The platform also gives us a much better view of our legal spend, historic invoices, matter-level cost development and external counsel activity. This has made our spend data much more accessible and useful for reporting, analysis and decision-making. The customer success and onboarding support have also been excellent. We have a very hands-on customer success manager, regular check-ins and practical support when improving the setup or onboarding additional teams and countries. That has been an important factor in making the tool successful beyond the initial implementation. **What do you dislike about Brightflag?** The main limitation for us is around language support in the AI invoice review. The AI analysis works well for English invoices, but additional languages come at extra cost. For an international organisation, this is not ideal. Given where AI translation and multilingual analysis are today, I would expect broader language support to be included more naturally in the product. The “Ask Brightflag” AI feature is a useful direction, but in my view it is not yet at the same level as modern AI tools in terms of responsiveness, quality of output and overall user experience. It has potential, but this is still an area where the product can improve. Pricing is also not low. However, the value is clear if the tool is used properly and rolled out with the right processes behind it. **What problems is Brightflag solving and how is that benefiting you?** Brightflag helps us manage external legal spend in a much more structured and transparent way. It gives us one place for invoices, matters, approval workflows, billing guideline checks and spend data. The biggest practical benefits are faster invoice approvals, less manual effort, better visibility of legal spend and a much stronger basis for reporting and analysis. The system flags potential billing guideline issues or irregularities, which makes invoice review more efficient and more consistent. It also gives us a reliable historic record of invoices and spend, which is very valuable for budgeting, matter reviews, law firm discussions and strategic legal operations work. Overall, Brightflag has become an important part of how we professionalise legal spend management. It supports both the operational side of invoice handling and the strategic side of understanding and managing external counsel spend. ### 12. From Reactive to Strategic - Brightflag Has Elevated Our Legal Operations **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Craig P. | Sr. Director, Chief of Staff to the CLO and Head of Corporate Affairs, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 21, 2026 **What do you like best about Brightflag?** What I Like About Brightflag: After evaluating multiple e-billing solutions, we adopted Brightflag this year to modernize our outside counsel spend management, and it's exceeded expectations on several fronts. AI-Powered Invoice Review: The automated invoice routing and approvals features have been transformative for our team. For a lean legal operations team supporting a global, all-remote company, this time savings directly translates to more bandwidth for strategic work. The AI flags guideline violations and discount application issues immediately, which has tightened our spend controls considerably. Implementation Speed: Brightflag's implementation was remarkably fast compared to other enterprise legal tech we've deployed. When they shared that we would be up and running within 1 month of signature, I was skeptical, but the Brightflag team delivered. Their team understood our cross-functional requirements and configured the system accordingly. We were up and running in weeks, not months. Spend Visibility: The real-time dashboard gives us exactly we need to make data driven decisions: clean, accessible data on legal spend by matter, practice area, and cost center. This visibility has already improved our quarterly budget conversations and helped us identify optimization opportunities we simply couldn't see in our previous spreadsheet-based approach. Customer Support: Their support team lives up to the hype. Response times are consistently under an hour, and our Customer Success Manager proactively reaches out with optimization suggestions tailored to our usage patterns. This is the level of partnership you need when rolling out new systems across a distributed organization. **What do you dislike about Brightflag?** I don't have much to say about my dislikes. I will say that our API integration with our payment processing platform took slightly longer than anticipated. **What problems is Brightflag solving and how is that benefiting you?** Brightflag has fundamentally shifted our legal operations from reactive administration to proactive strategic management. Our team spends less time on invoice processing and reporting, and more time on initiatives that directly support our company's growth. For a lean team supporting a fast-growing, all-remote, publicly-traded company, having this operational infrastructure in place is essential. Brightflag hasn't just saved us time, it gas enabled us to operate at a higher strategic level and demonstrate clear value to executive leadership and finance partners. ### 13. Customizable Reporting That Streamlines Budget Tracking **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Marlene H. | Legal & Compliance Operations Manager, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 01, 2026 **What do you like best about Brightflag?** Reporting builder. I can customize and share reports with a targeted audience or keep them for myself. It makes budget-tracking communication easier, and my colleagues can work more autonomously. **What do you dislike about Brightflag?** There’s a noticeable lag between when invoices are marked as approved in the log and when they actually disappear from it. **What problems is Brightflag solving and how is that benefiting you?** It helps close the gap between the department’s budget tracking and what Finance collects on legal costs. It also makes gathering accruals much easier. **Official Response from Kevin Cohn:** > Thanks for your feedback! Regarding your comment about a lag, sounds like something isn't working as expected. Please reach out to your customer success manager or support@brightflag.com so we can get this fixed for you. ### 14. User-Friendly Invoice Review and Approval with Brightflag **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Consumer Goods | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 01, 2026 **What do you like best about Brightflag?** Love the flagging feature based on our billing policies and procedures and how easy it is to review and approve invoices. The system is pretty user friendly and easy to navigate. I also like that it is now connected to our matter management system Xakia. **What do you dislike about Brightflag?** Brightflag is pretty costly and I wish there was a better way to dispute certain items on the invoice without having to decline the entire invoice. Sometimes it doesn't seem worth it to decline an invoice for a small nominal $ amount. **What problems is Brightflag solving and how is that benefiting you?** Speeding up the approval of invoice process and allowing firms to easily submit their invoices to us **Official Response from Kevin Cohn:** > Thanks for your feedback! The ability to adjust and approve an invoice (rather than adjust and reject) is a configuration option and I've linked the relevant help center article. Note if there's tax on an invoice, adjust and approve isn't an option as you're required to get an updated, valid tax invoice. Also, your finance team may not want you to adjust and approve, although this is a preference. ### 15. Great Product and Onboarding Experience **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Staffing and Recruiting | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 14, 2025 **What do you like best about Brightflag?** The customer services is truly outstanding, and they're continuing to roll out extremely helpful updates. **What do you dislike about Brightflag?** Not many out of the box reports available, so you either need to be familiar with a data visualization system, PowerBI for us, or have a team that can help with that. The matter management is a separate paid module, so you won't get it included with your e-billing solution unless you opt into it. It's a low cost but would prefer it to just be a native feature in the system. **What problems is Brightflag solving and how is that benefiting you?** Better tracking of invoices is amazing for us. ### 16. Intuitive Platform with Outstanding Customer Support **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Eriona A. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 20, 2026 **What do you like best about Brightflag?** I love how Brightflag is an outstanding platform for our legal team. It's intuitive, efficient, and has streamlined the process for us. The setup was very easy, which I appreciate. What truly elevates the Brightflag experience is our rep/account manager, Audrey Agpar. She's helpful, incredibly knowledgeable, and always ready to jump in whenever we need support. Audrey's responsiveness and expertise make a huge difference. We could not have asked for a better partner. THANK YOU, Audrey. **What do you dislike about Brightflag?** The specific time rates feature was enabled and/or customized but not exactly what we had in mind. **What problems is Brightflag solving and how is that benefiting you?** I use Brightflag to automate legal invoices and track them efficiently. It's intuitive, streamlined, and enhances our process. ### 17. Intuitive E-Billing and Invoice Review with Top-Notch Support **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 01, 2026 **What do you like best about Brightflag?** Extremely intuitive and easy to use for e-billing and invoice review. Support team is top notch and overall customer support is exemplary. **What do you dislike about Brightflag?** Matter management side of the application is not as flexible and dynamic as some of the other options in the market. **What problems is Brightflag solving and how is that benefiting you?** Brightflag has given us true visibility into our spend and provided us with the data and metrics that allow us to better track our legal spend, evaluate opportunities for cost savings, and hold our firms accountable for agreed discounts and compliance with our billing guidelines. ### 18. Brightflag’s is User-Friendly and Makes Legal Spend Review Easy **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 01, 2026 **What do you like best about Brightflag?** Brightflag is user friendly and easily customizable to suit each organization's needs. **What do you dislike about Brightflag?** I feel like the vendor management page could be more straight forward that it is currently. I would like to be able to click on the vendor name and then navigate between the various things I would like to modify instead of having to back out to update users versus office information. **What problems is Brightflag solving and how is that benefiting you?** Brightflag gives us great insight in to legal spend, time keep rates, and reviewing legal bills. **Official Response from Kevin Cohn:** > Thanks for your feedback! Good news: the vendor profile is about to get a big facelift. You'll see it in the next few weeks! ### 19. Brightflag: Unmatched Ease and Value, Eager for More Advanced Features **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Harrison U. | Legal Operations Expert, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 22, 2025 **What do you like best about Brightflag?** I have worked with the Brightflag team and their product for six years. When considering total cost of implementation and ownership, as well as functionality and performance, I believe it is by far the best Ebilling system available. I have used and implemented nearly every legal technology in the ELM space, so I am familiar with both the strengths and weaknesses of these platforms. Brightflag, which was built on AI from the beginning, is exceptionally easy to implement and use. In contrast, other platforms often require months or even years to implement and can cost up to a hundred times more. The combination of an excellent tool and outstanding service from the Brightflag team continues to make it an easy choice for our global Ebilling system. **What do you dislike about Brightflag?** I continue to request that they advance the development of features on their roadmap.

But more than that, Brightflag is a true partner making sure your team is successful as long as you are their customer. The customer service is beyond anything I’ve experienced with other vendors. We truly feel we have a partner in Brightflag. **What do you dislike about Brightflag?** There is some functionality that exists in other ebilling platforms that is not available with Brightflag, but even those are nice to have and not must haves. Also, the dashboards are not configurable, so you get what they give you out of the box. **What problems is Brightflag solving and how is that benefiting you?** Brightflag is not only streamlining our invoice review process, but is also extracting key data points to allow us to make informed decisions for budgeting and on our outside counsel’s value. ### 25.

They’re always there to help tailor the platform to your organization’s specific needs, and the platform itself is designed with in-house legal teams in mind, which makes it far more intuitive and effective than generic spend management tools. It also integrates with many adjacent systems your finance teams may already use, which makes it even more seamless for cross-functional partners to adopt as part of existing processes. **What do you dislike about Brightflag?** Honestly, I don’t have real “dislikes.” Any time a question or issue comes up, the Brightflag team is quick to jump in, troubleshoot, and help us find a solution.

Emily is brilliant for our regular meet ups and explaining additional features we may not be using **What do you dislike about Brightflag?** I dislike the reporting in Brightflag. It just feels like anything you need to know means creating another report and that can be time consuming, also the output isn't very pleasing as it is just an excel spreadsheet. **What problems is Brightflag solving and how is that benefiting you?** I don't think we have ever had a system for invoices where we can view them, change them and approve them ready for payment - it is also good that they are all in one place which is protection against paying invoices twice - even though reporting is long winded, it does provide us with more information than we had before ### 35.

Everyone works with you to obtain the results you want to obtain and/or fix a hiccup and learn how to use the system. We were no longer tracking accruals and expenses manually and being able to control timekeeper rates, budgets, reporting, forecasting spend, communication with regards to expectations for year and being able to institute that decision. We have a special function required for certain vendors and Brightflag worked with us to be able to upload different invoices and track a different accrual. The Brightflag team is always working to help us obtain the results that are required. Our CSM is always available and communicates with us frequently to make sure everything is ok, and our monthly meetings help us keep Brightflag clean and gives insights of any patterns that we might want to address. As the administrator I use Brigthflag daily, and with my daily usage, I can easily move through the system. **What do you dislike about Brightflag?** I do not dislike anything, but if I do see something that I think could make it easier, then I reach out to my CSM or Brightflag support to make a suggestion or see if I am doing something wrong. **What problems is Brightflag solving and how is that benefiting you?** Control on spend - ensuring budgets are being met, control of timekeeper increases, ease of tracking spend and accruals. ### 40.

Their support team is consistently attentive, responsive, and eager to help. Although system transitions are often challenging, our implementation representative offered excellent guidance and support, making this the smoothest migration I’ve experienced. We continue to rely on Brightflag for prompt, personalized assistance whenever questions arise or issues need to be resolved. **What do you dislike about Brightflag?** It would be helpful to have additional filtering and bulk editing capabilities—such as the ability to apply a Purchase Order ID to all matters associated with a specific law firm or to update country codes in bulk, instead of entering them individually. **What problems is Brightflag solving and how is that benefiting you?** Brightflag’s system supports us in effectively planning and tracking our budgets, managing timekeeper rates, and identifying opportunities for cost savings. It is also highly valuable for analyzing invoices and seamlessly transferring them to our Accounts Payable system, streamlining the overall invoice processing workflow. ### 41.

They’re consistently responsive and quick to resolve any issues that come up. **What do you dislike about Brightflag?** The only real downside I’ve experienced is that the system occasionally lags and needs a refresh. It’s not a dealbreaker, but it can be a bit disruptive. That said, their team is always on top of it, running diagnostics and keeping us informed. **What problems is Brightflag solving and how is that benefiting you?** Brightflag solves the challenge of managing outside counsel and legal spend efficiently by automating invoice reviews, reducing manual errors, and providing clear, real-time insights into our budget.

Again, it's more on us to educate and train, but it would be a cool feature. Otherwise, a superb tool for matter and invoice management. **What problems is Brightflag solving and how is that benefiting you?** Time-saving & streamlined workflows Brightflag has helped us automate and simplify previously manual processes.

There was also a misunderstanding between our team and Sales that the integration team would be able to fully help us configure the Coupa integration and that our IT team would not be needed. **What problems is Brightflag solving and how is that benefiting you?** We really had no details about our spending because we didn't have an e-billing system. The reporting features will benefit us. Also the AI that catches flags, when previously it was up to the attorneys to review invoices for flags.
