These companies tend to be larger and use these programs to save labor time that would otherwise be devoted to poring over expensive, embossed paper bills. If you'd like to learn more about a company that provides legal eBilling / matter management, check out TyMetrix (Google it).

The format is called LEDES. It would be great to have Freshbooks develop the ability to generate LEDES-compliant invoices, as many companies that hire lawyers require them. Is Freshbooks working on this? There are a lot of lawyers, I believe, that would prefer to use Freshbooks instead of the expensive, slow, dull-as-dishwater billing programs that now dominate the legal billing market (but are able to generate LEDES-compliant invoices . . .).
