At GMKE, we know that great talent is the key to achieving the best outcomes for our clients and customers. For the last 18 years our attorneys have built a distinguished reputation as unyielding advocates to insureds facing litigation and trusted partners to insurance companies seeking to responsibly manage liabilities.

About The Role Accurate billing is foundational to how the firm operates, and this role plays a critical part in ensuring work in progress is reconciled correctly, billing is precise, and matters are ready to move forward without delay. With an initial focus on WIP accuracy, aging, and billing readiness, you will work closely with attorneys and timekeepers to resolve discrepancies, ensure compliance with insurance carrier guidelines, and support clean, timely e‑billing. This role is project‑heavy at the outset and well‑suited for someone who enjoys building structure, documenting workflows, and improving billing operations. The position is structured as a contract engagement, with the potential to evolve into a full‑time role based on business needs and performance.

Responsibilities

Reconcile WIP routinely (daily/weekly) to ensure time/expenses are complete, properly coded, and ready for billing

Review, audit, and troubleshoot WIP discrepancies (missing time entries, incorrect task/activity codes, duplication, incorrect rates, timing issues, and unposted costs)

Partner with attorneys, paralegals, and staff to resolve billing issues, obtain missing narratives, and confirm compliance before invoices are generated

Prepare and process pre‑bills, apply edits, and finalize invoices in accordance with client/carrier billing guidelines

Ensure compliance with LEDES formats and carrier rules (task codes, narrative requirements, rate rules, caps, staffing, etc.)

Process invoices and manage billing workflow in Tabs3/TABS (or equivalent legal billing software)

Submit invoices through e‑billing systems (e.g., Legal‑X, TyMetrix 360, CounselLink, etc.) and track status

Manage billing rejections/appeals: correct issues, resubmit, and document outcomes

Assist with reporting (WIP aging, billing cycle time, write‑downs, realization) and help identify process improvements

Required Qualifications

2+ years of legal billing experience, strongly preferred in insurance defense

Demonstrated experience with WIP reconciliation and pre‑bill workflow

Working knowledge of carrier guidelines, LEDES, and common e‑billing requirements

Strong attention to detail and ability to manage deadlines in a high‑volume environment

Proficiency with Excel (filters; pivots/lookups a plus)

Preferred Qualifications

Tabs3/TABS experience strongly preferred

Experience with e‑billing appeals and reducing invoice rejections

Familiarity with client guideline management and billing rule compliance

Prior experience helping improve billing/WIP processes or handling cleanup projects
