What do you like best about SimpleLegal?

SimpleLegal is a very effective platform for managing a large number of legal entities with complex cost center codes for a global enterprise such as ours who partner with international vendors and outside counsel. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SimpleLegal?

Challenges occur when you can only view ten drop-down options at a time to select from for a large number of company codes and allocations. I would like to see programming improvements to allow more than one rule to run when auto-rejecting invoices, which leads to frustration and confusion on behalf of our vendors before a human has the opportunity to review an invoice for additional rejection criteria.

Efficient matter budget management, the flexibility to add multiple offices/divisions/legal entities, ease of reviewing invoices promptly, effective timekeeper rate management, efficient vendor management, dependable approval workflow that can easily be altered either temporarily or permanently, the ability to link related matters to a parent matter, the ease of adding CounselGO user interface, and the ability to grant, restrict, or restore administrative user credentials.

What do you like best about SimpleLegal?

Their customer service is 2nd to none...prompt, friendly, patient and knowledgful! I learned the application (both how it was set-up for our organization and the administration of it) on my own after taking over a role in a chaotic time. During that time, the SimpleLegal team was there to help offer insight as to what they knew about the set-up and making sure I was comfortable performing the invoice processing. They sat with me and helped me get a rehaul done on the set-up to make it more efficient. I want to learn more about the matter management, and I know my "friends" at SimpleLegal will be there to show me the way! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SimpleLegal?

I wouldn't say there are any dislikes per se. I know the application can do more; it is up to me to how to utilize it to its full potential. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is SimpleLegal solving and how is that benefiting you?

The ability to track where are dollars are being spent, and the simplificaiton of the invoice review/approval process. We now know in what areas of expertise we can explore hiring! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SimpleLegal?

I would love to be able to log in as a ghost user of ANY of my vendors to see what they see as an issue. Not so much to diagnose or assist but just for my own knowledge. This is the one thing that is lacking, in my opinion. Add a "view as user" button to each of my vendor pages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

They are creating matter based timekeepers and we appreciate that as a company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about SimpleLegal?

SimpleLegal is super easy to use. It is both user friendly and very intuitive to use. The attorneys I support I also appreciate how easy it is use. In addition, SimpleLegal integrates into Oracle, which is what our Accounts Payable Team use to issue payment to our vendors. This integration helps make their job easier and thus ensure quick payment to our firms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SimpleLegal?

I am eager to be able to flag an invoice once we have reached the cap spend amount on a matter as well as being able to have reports automatically emailed to me on a regular basis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is SimpleLegal solving and how is that benefiting you?

I used to have a hard time with getting attorneys to review & approve invoices in a timely manner with our previous e-billing platform. They found the previous one not user-friendly. Since we have implemented SimpleLegal, the attorneys are able to easily review their invoices and this has cut down on the amount of time that passes between receipt of the invocie and the review of the invoice. The attorneys appreciate how user-friendly SimpleLegal is. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about SimpleLegal?

Easy to navigate once trained, useful invoice landnig page that provides all the details needed to review an invoice and/or make comments. ability to dupliccate an existing matter to reduce the effort in creating a new matter; easy to navigate between vendors and invoices. Great customer support - quick to follow up and provide solutions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SimpleLegal?

The reporting functionality was a not the easiest to use or understand on how to create an ad hoc report. That being said, SimpleLegal did help us create a custom legal repor that at least provided us with our data but we still need to manually clean up the data afterwards. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is SimpleLegal solving and how is that benefiting you?

SimpleLegal was a great system for when we started using a billing and matter management system but since then have transitioned over to a new system that has more enhanced reporting capbilties. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

User-friendly, simple legal have a lot of powerful function which can meet almost every requirements in our daily work.

I can't think of a downside about simple legal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is SimpleLegal solving and how is that benefiting you?

As a company owns a lot of subsidiaries and intellectual properties, we have many different types of invoices to manage. Simple legal does a very good job to classify the invoices and send it to the right person for review. And it also makes it easier for us to record our spending and manage our vendors. With out simple legal, our invoice management work will be a lot harder. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
