The Solution Architect, Legal Billing is a member of Litify Professional Services who leads the time, billing, and financial side of client implementations. You bring a formal accounting background and software implementation skills to design and deliver time entry, expense tracking, billing, and collections workflows for law firms on the Litify platform. You work directly with firm billing teams, finance staff, and partners.

You learn how they capture time and costs and turn them into paid invoices today, then translate that into a sound Litify design and own it through go-live.
