Legal Billing Coordinator ( Hybrid )

*** MUST HAVE EXPERIENCE BILLING FOR A LAW FIRM***

A prominent litigation law firm located in Century City, focusing on business, entertainment, employment, intellectual property, and real estate, is seeking an experienced Legal Billing Coordinator.

This is not a general accounting or corporate billing position - candidates must have direct, hands-on experience billing for a law firm to be considered. You must understand the intricacies of legal billing processes and client guidelines.

Essential Job Functions

• Accurately process a high volume of monthly legal bills, including complex arrangements (e.g., contingency, split-party, and flat-fee billing).
• Enter attorney time, costs, and other expenses to ensure timely capture and submission.
• Review and edit pre-bills per attorney or client-specific instructions.
• Maintain detailed, accurate client and billing instruction records.
• Work closely with attorneys, assistants, and clients to resolve billing inquiries and ensure timely payments.
• Open new client/matter accounts and conduct conflict checks.
• Assist with special billing projects as needed.

Required Qualifications

• Minimum of three (3) years of full-cycle legal billing experience in a law firm environment - general accounting or corporate billing experience will not meet the requirements for this role.
• Strong understanding of law firm billing practices, including time entry, e-billing portals, and compliance with client billing guidelines.
• Experience with Finance Core (formerly Coyote Analytics) strongly preferred.
• Proven ability to handle deadlines, multitask effectively, and maintain exceptional attention to detail.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
• Proactive, organized, and able to work both independently and collaboratively.
• Availability to work overtime, evenings, or weekends when required.

Work Environment

Our firm currently follows a hybrid schedule, requiring in-office presence a minimum of four days per week, with one optional remote day (subject to change).

Compensation

Base Salary Range: $80,000 – $95,000
Compensation is commensurate with experience, skills, and qualifications.
