Task Codes
The American Bar Association (ABA) has published Uniform Task-Based Management System (UTBM reference), which includes activity- and task-based billing codes organized into phases. These codes make it possible for vendor law firms to submit standardized billing and for corporate law departments to work with their vendors in an efficient manner.
UTBMS task codes are not a hard requirement to submit LEDES invoices in CounselGO. However, please coordinate with clients regarding their specific billing guidelines. Task codes may be a requirement for clients, based on the nature of the work being billed.
