Bill the hours you actually worked.

Most firms do not have a time problem. They have a time-recording problem: the work happened, the file is a mess of activity, and the invoice quietly omits an afternoon of it.

What it does

Recording time properly, without the friction

One timer, always there

Start, pause, switch matters. The entry lands on the right file with a description you can bill from.

The firm’s rules, applied quietly

Rounding, minimum increments, daily caps and late-entry rules decide what counts — so the policy is not a monthly argument.

Reviewed before it is billed

Approvals, deletion reviews and an edit history that shows what changed after the fact, and who changed it.

What it means for you

What it means at the end of the month

  • Recovery rises without inventing anything, because time that was always worked finally gets written down.
  • Fewer write-offs discovered at partner review, because unbilled time is visible before the invoice goes out.
  • Non-billable work becomes visible — which is how firms decide whether a client is actually profitable.
  • Associates can show what they did, with a record rather than a recollection.

Bring last month’s time figures. We will show you where the gaps usually are.

In practice

From timer to invoice line

The path should be short enough that people actually follow it.

Start the timer, or write it up later

The timer is always available; entries can also be added from the calendar or the matter.

Describe it while it is fresh

A description that will still make sense to the client three weeks later.

Let approval happen

Managers approve; deletions are reviewed; the edit history keeps everyone honest.

Pull it into an invoice

Approved time becomes the invoice — no re-typing, no spreadsheet reconciliation.

Questions lawyers ask

Questions about billing time

Yes. Rounding, minimums and caps are configured per firm and can differ by role or team.

Daily caps, manager approval, and an edit history that records every change after the fact. Padding is a policy question; the system makes it visible.

Yes — by matter and by client, which is usually where the recovery conversation starts.
