Unique Challenges in Legal Payments
Law firms handle diverse financial activities—from client retainers and hourly billing to contingency fees and large settlements. Confidentiality and trust are paramount, and payment disputes can lead to reputational damage and ethical concerns. Additionally, regulatory obligations require firms to comply with trust account rules and state bar guidelines.
Identifying Risk Factors
Complex fee structures: Multiple fee arrangements and trust accounts require precise accounting and segregation of funds.
Confidentiality obligations: Handling sensitive client information demands secure payment channels and data protection.
High‑value transactions: Large settlements or retainers increase exposure to fraud and chargebacks.
