Why Legal teams switch
IOLTA mistakes are career-ending
Mishandling client trust funds is a bar discipline matter. ERPClaw enforces trust account separation at the schema level.
Mix of billing models
Hourly, contingency, flat fee, retainer drawdowns - one client may have all four. ERPClaw handles them in one matter.
Conflict checking
New client + existing client adverse parties = problem. ERPClaw flags conflicts at intake.
Realization vs. collection
Hours billed vs. hours paid. ERPClaw reports billable versus billed amounts per attorney and collection rate by practice area.
