Invoice follow-up for law firms

Law firm AR drifts because the people best qualified to collect are too expensive to spend time collecting. Syntharra calls every overdue invoice three days past due, references only the invoice number, and charges 10% of what gets recovered.

Legal billing has a specific AR problem: partners do not chase invoices because the hour spent collecting costs more than a small balance is worth, so the invoice ages. By month three, both the relationship and the balance are harder to handle than they needed to be. Syntharra closes the gap by making the call at day three — before either side disengages — with a short, professional conversation about the invoice number and outstanding amount. No matter detail, no work-product language, no party names. Payment goes through Stripe Connect into your operating account. Disputed invoices and active-matter invoices route back to your billing team. The fee is 10% of what gets recovered.

How it works for law firms

Privilege-safe disclosure on every call

The agent references only the invoice number and balance. No matter name, no opposing parties, no legal substance. The disclosure footprint sits comfortably inside any reasonable reading of attorney-client privilege.

Closed-matter-only calling by default

Active litigation, settlement-in-progress, and any other ongoing matter can be blanket-excluded with one flag. The default is conservative: only closed or non-active matters enter the call queue.

Partner and billing-staff exclusions

Any partner can flag a client as no-call from the dashboard. The exclusion is instant and global — no approval chain, no override risk — so relationship-sensitive accounts are always protected.

10% success fee, no monthly charge

No subscription. 10% of the amount recovered on each invoice. Invoices that do not resolve cost nothing.

Frequently asked questions

Does calling clients about invoices create an ethics problem?

The agent references only the invoice number and balance. No matter detail, no strategy, no work-product language. This is legally no different from your billing clerk sending a reminder statement with the same content. Privilege protects the substance of legal advice, not the fact that an invoice exists and is unpaid.

What if the matter is still active?

Active matters are excluded by default. Per-client and per-matter exclusions live in your dashboard. Any ongoing litigation, settlement, or appellate track can be blanket-excluded with one flag from the dashboard.

Can the agent take a card payment over the phone?

Yes, via Stripe Connect, directly into your operating account. The flow is designed for earned-fee invoices and past-due balances. Trust-account and IOLTA funds never move through Syntharra.

How much does Syntharra cost for law firms?

10% of the amount recovered on each invoice. No monthly fee, no per-call charge, no setup cost.
