Wolters Kluwer ELM Solutions’ AI-powered LegalVIEW BillAnalyzer generates rapid expense control and improved billing guideline compliance for PNC Financial Services Group

Enhanced data quality helps PNC build stronger relationships with law firm partners

A new case study from Wolters Kluwer ELM Solutions explains how the company’s AI-powered LegalVIEW BillAnalyzer spend management tool enabled PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. – one of the largest diversified financial services institutions in the U.S. – to find new expense controls, bolster efficiencies and strengthen law firm relationships. The study found that PNC was able to improve expense control within the first month of using LegalVIEW BillAnalyzer’s experienced AI engine to automate the time-consuming process of identifying likely billing violations, while also gaining the data necessary to identify opportunities for strengthened relationships with law firms and other key stakeholders.

Already long-time users of ELM Solutions’ SaaS based e-billing and matter management tool TyMetrix 360°, the legal team at PNC implemented LegalVIEW BillAnalyzer with the goal of controlling expense, improving billing guideline compliance, and enhancing the quality of data needed to drive more strategic decision-making. Attorney-led bill review was enhanced with the automated validation of invoice format and compliance with rates, fees, and other billing items.

“Implementing LegalVIEW BillAnalyzer has enabled PNC to push well beyond its initial goals of efficiency, expense control and billing guideline compliance, without disrupting our law firm relationships,” John Crawshaw, Business Analytics Manager at PNC, said. “The quality of data and depth of insight the solution offers will place PNC’s legal operations team in strong position to continue growing the core relationships that are critical to achieving the organization’s wider business objectives.”

Earlier this year, ELM Solutions celebrated the five-year anniversary of LegalVIEW BillAnalyzer and its underlying AI algorithm, which has traversed billing patterns spanning 225 practice areas and 20 different industries. The scope of that experience – and the more than 60,000 person days that legal experts have collectively spent engaging with the solution – is what empowers LegalVIEW BillAnalyzer’s AI model to deliver more nuanced and accurate outputs that can’t be replicated through offline training
