If your firm is struggling to collect payments from clients, you’re not alone—and unfortunately, the issue is only growing. These are the last six years of numbers for Collection Realization against Standard from an October Thomson Reuters report. When we began developing CreditLex, we saw a clear downward trend in collections starting as far back as 2007. With 17 years of data, even well-established firms are still losing more than 10% of what they’re owed on average. Imagine what increasing your collection rate by even a few percentage points could do for your firm’s bottom line. CreditLex clients have one more powerful tool to address collection challenges effectively. Subscribers find it easy to incorporate CreditLex into any new client agreement, resulting in fewer risks and higher collection rates. This could be the tool your firm needs to exceed the national average in collections. #LegalTech #LawFirmManagement #Collections #PaymentSolutions #CreditLex #LawFirmSuccess #ClientCollections #LegalFinance #ProfessionalServices #LawPractice
