How do lawyers bill clients?
By billable hours, fixed fees for standard work, or a retainer. Many firms combine them, with disbursements always listed separately.
What are disbursements on a legal invoice?
Costs paid on the client's behalf, like court fees, filing fees or expert reports. They're listed separately from your legal fees.
How detailed should a legal invoice be?
Enough for the client to see what they're paying for: the matter, the activities with the time spent, fixed fees and disbursements.
