Judicial Expenses Module

Clearly Separate Judicial Expenses from General Budgets and Expenditures

Legal Affairs may pay fees or judicial expenses on behalf of the company or one of its subsidiaries, including amounts that must be settled and followed up separately within the legal budget of each entity. They therefore need to be separated from general accounts so the actual balance of judicial expenses can be identified for the parent company, each subsidiary, or each case.

LAWMAX’s Judicial Expenses Module provides a separate path for recording expenses and linking them to cases and subsidiaries, attaching supporting evidence, and tracking paid amounts, settlements, and current balances, helping maintain transparency in the financial relationship between Legal Affairs, subsidiaries, and beneficiary departments.
