Legal-X

Legal-X is a legal e-billing and spend management platform now owned by Sedgwick, which acquired Bottomline Technologies' legal spend management business in 2025 and operates it under the Bill ReviewIQ brand. It gives insurers, third-party administrators and corporate legal departments a controlled channel for receiving, auditing and approving outside counsel invoices.

Key features of Legal-X include:

• Configurable Rules Engine: Validates submitted rates, timekeepers and expenses against client-specific billing guidelines and flags non-conforming line items before an invoice reaches an approver.
• Claims Case Management: Links invoices and budgets to the underlying claim or matter so adjusters and legal staff see litigation spend in the context of the case driving it.
• Expert Bill Review: Pairs automated invoice validation with review by Sedgwick audit attorneys for line items that need judgment rather than rules, producing documented adjustments.
• Reporting and Dashboards: Delivers standard reports, business intelligence tools and dashboard widgets covering guideline compliance, vendor performance, operations and spend trends.
• Systems Integration: Exchanges data in real time with internal claims and accounts payable systems through web services so approved invoices flow to payment without rekeying.

Best for: Property and casualty insurers, third-party administrators and self-insured organisations that process large volumes of defense counsel invoices tied to individual claims.

Legal-X moves invoice compliance from manual spot checks to systematic, rules-driven review. Claims and legal leaders gain documented savings on defense spend and a defensible audit trail behind every adjustment made to a firm invoice.
