Why PredictaBill?

Use of latest technology

PredictaBill is an Alternative Legal Services Provider. It was born as part of a transformation process undergoing in the legal sector which is now showing more acceptance to use technology to automate its processess to guarantee clients fixed fees and major efficiency in the delivery of legal services.

Segmentation of services

The legal sector is undergoing a marked segmentation of services, where issues that require a very high level of specialization and expertise, contrast with routine or day-to-day services which are key in the day to day of every business.

Alternative option to the billable hour

In the world there is a great discussion around the billable hour and how this metric is no longer functional for calculating the cost of certain legal services; especially for day-to-day routine matters, as it does not allow clients to forecast their legal expenses.

Always client centric

At PredictaBill we are obsessed with delivering our clients an upmost service. We thoroughly analyze the data that clients provide us to understand their business model, operation and day to day legal necessities, to offer a very high quality and efficient product. We seek to provide a 360 overview, by giving certainty about key elements of the service such as: how much it will cost, the applicable requirements of each service, and how long would take until client receives the final deliverable.
