Our client is looking to add a Legal Invoice Review Quality Assurance Analyst (“QA Analyst”) that will be responsible for performing the quality assurance testing for the Legal Bill Analysis Center of Excellence (LBACOE). The Legal Bill Analysis (“LBA”) process involves the prompt, accurate and efficient auditing of electronically submitted legal fee and expense invoices submitted by law firms and vendors of our clients.

As part of our quality assurance process, the QA Analyst will conduct an expert peer review of LBACOE invoice analysts’ work while independently utilizing his or her specialized legal expertise, knowledge base and education. After making a comprehensive, expert assessment of the legal context and terminology in the invoice, the QA Analyst will make additional adjustments to previously-adjusted invoice line item entries, if needed, and document the comprehensive justification for such adjustments. The QA Analyst will also make corrections to adjusted and non-adjusted invoice lines. Moreover, the QA Analyst, as part of our Appeals Team, will engage in written communications with the law firm vendors of our customers regarding the adjustments made to invoice line item entries by the LBACOE. The ultimate goal of QA Analyst communications with the law firms is to fully leverage the QA Analyst’s robust legal knowledge base and partake in legal expert-to-expert discourse so as to arrive at a reasonable, mutually-agreeable resolution on disputed invoice adjustments, subject to our customers’ ultimate directive(s).

The QA Analyst will also provide guidance to business unit partners regarding issues or opportunities within the LBA process.
