What is the invoicing process?

It is IMS’ responsibility to bill and collect expert fees from our client. In our effort to diligently collect all payments, we utilize numerous communication methods, including statements, emails, and timely collection calls. This allows you to focus on providing quality service to the client.

Although counsel is aware that our fee is embedded in your fee when invoices are submitted, it is more appropriate that you discuss your work in terms of hours and not dollars. Speaking in terms of dollar amounts often creates confusion and delays in payment when invoices are submitted.
If a monetary figure is requested by counsel or their client, please refer them to IMS Legal Strategies to handle it except when you are required to disclose your rate in a report, declaration, or while giving deposition. Please follow any directive from counsel that concerns disclosing your rate as required in the litigation process.

Toward the end of each month, our accounting department will send an email reminding you to prepare and submit your invoice to IMS.
After you have prepared your invoice, send it, along with scanned copies of any receipts and supporting documents, via email to our accounting department’s invoice portal at invoices@expertservices.com.
