Does Brightflag Use UTBMS Codes?

Brightflag does not use standard UTBMS codes. Instead, we use our own Task, Activity, and Expense codes that serve a similar purpose - helping categorize legal work for better reporting and analysis.

📁 Brightflag’s Coding System

Brightflag's proprietary codes help structure invoice data for meaningful insights and compliance. Here's a breakdown:

✅ Task Codes

These categorize what type of legal work is being performed.

Examples:

• Pleadings

• Motions

• Document production

✅ Activity Codes

These describe how the work was performed, identifying specific actions taken by legal professionals.

Examples:

• Researching

• Drafting

• Communicating with external parties

💸 Expense Codes

These represent the costs incurred while performing legal tasks.

Examples:

• Travel expenses

• Photocopying fees

• Court filing fees
