10+ Years NetSuite Focus · Senior Developers Only · 150+ Implementations
Every hour is billable. Are you capturing them?
Unbilled time leaking out
Time entries not captured at the moment of work, written off later, or billed incorrectly. Every hour lost is revenue gone.
Trust accounting complexity
IOLTA and client trust accounts require segregated tracking and reconciliation. Manual management creates compliance risk.
Matter profitability unknown
You know which clients pay well—but do you know which matters are actually profitable after write-offs and write-downs?
Partner compensation disputes
Origination credits, billing credits, and performance metrics calculated in spreadsheets. Everyone has a different number.
Law firms run on time and relationships—but profit runs on billing accuracy. BrokenRubik configures NetSuite with matter-based billing, trust accounting, and partner reporting so your firm captures every billable hour and runs a tighter practice.

Law Firms FAQs
Does NetSuite replace legal practice management software?
NetSuite covers the financial layer—billing, trust accounting, firm financials, and profitability reporting. Some firms integrate it with legal-specific practice management systems (Clio, MyCase, etc.) for matter management and document handling. We configure the integration so financial data flows without duplication.
Can NetSuite handle IOLTA trust accounting?
Yes. We configure NetSuite with segregated trust account structures, three-way reconciliation workflows, and disbursement controls that meet bar association requirements. Trust funds never commingle with operating funds.
How does NetSuite handle contingency fee cases?
Contingency matters require tracking costs advanced, time invested (for profitability analysis), and ultimately fee recognition upon settlement. We configure matter templates for contingency billing with the appropriate cost and revenue treatment.
Can NetSuite handle multiple billing rate structures?
Yes. NetSuite supports rate cards by attorney, matter, practice area, and client agreement. Rates can be set at the matter level to override standard rates, with full override history tracked.
Does NetSuite integrate with e-billing platforms?
Yes. We integrate NetSuite with major platforms including Tymetrix, LegalTracker, and TrustPoint. Prebills and invoices are created in NetSuite, then automatically submitted to the e-billing platform for client review and approval. Once approved, payment status syncs back into NetSuite so your A/R reflects reality. The integration also captures client-mandated billing guidelines and flags violations before invoices go out—not after they are rejected. This typically reduces rejection rates and speeds collections because the client's system acknowledges receipt electronically.
How does NetSuite handle partner origination and billing credits?
We configure origination credit rules, billing credit allocations, and collection credit policies in NetSuite's reporting layer. Partner compensation reports pull from actual billing and collection data, not manual spreadsheets.
Why BrokenRubik for law firms?
Legal billing has more edge cases than most professional services—trust accounting rules, task code requirements, billing guideline compliance, and partner compensation politics. We understand the details and configure NetSuite to handle them correctly.
