Conflicts & Billing Coordinator

CM Legal

A law firm is seeking a Conflicts & Billing Coordinator to join its Finance & Accounting department. This role is split between two core functions: roughly 60% of the position focuses on managing the firm’s conflicts workflow, while the remaining time supports the Time & Billing team with billing-related requests and inquiries.

On the conflicts side, responsibilities include new business intake, matter opening, conflict analysis and resolution, and coordinating with General Counsel on conflicts checks. The role also involves monitoring waivers and engagement letters, liaising with the firm’s conflicts vendor, conducting independent research across public databases, and maintaining the integrity of the new matter intake workflow. On the billing side, the coordinator processes edits and transfers to pre-bills, manages invoice distribution, responds to billing inquiries, finalizes and sends invoices, and assists with e-billing.

The ideal candidate has at least three years of conflicts experience at a law firm, with time and billing experience preferred; familiarity with iManage conflicts and Aderant billing systems is a plus. Strong Excel and Word skills, attention to detail, and the ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment are essential.

This is a 35-hour, non-exempt position with a salary range of $70,000–$78,000, commensurate with experience.
