A year ago, in January 2017, Hyperion Research surveyed the legal community about their planned priorities for the year.

For over 20 years, the Legal Consultants community (that I happen to be part of) has implemented sound e-Billing solutions to handle the demand for largely US-centric invoicing requirements with a great degree of success (mostly).
