LEDES Standard

The Legal Electronic Data Exchange Standard (LEDES) is a set of open standards developed by the LEDES Oversight Committee (LOC) to facilitate the electronic exchange of billing and other legal information between corporations and law firms. Established in 1995, the LOC has created various formats for legal e-billing, budgeting, timekeeper data, and intellectual property matter management. These standards are globally recognized and accepted as industry-specific EDI standards for the exchange of legal e-billing information. ([ledes.org](https://ledes.org/?utm_source=openai))

LEDES standards include formats for legal e-billing, budgeting, timekeeper information, and intellectual property matter management. The standards are designed to be simple, unambiguous, and minimally divergent from existing formats, ensuring they meet the needs of corporations, law firms, and legal industry software vendors.
