Rate increases commonly occur as you grow and manage your business. Use the Rate Sets feature to efficiently incorporate rate increases and stay on top of your rate increase schedule.


Rate Sets provide a table for setting and scheduling rate changes. This table can be associated with any matter; you do not have to open every matter to update its rates individually.
