Each case belongs to a client, with every activity logged against it: research, drafting, hearings and calls. No spreadsheets or scattered notes at the end of the month.
Separate billable from non-billable time and apply each lawyer’s rate. When a matter or month closes, export case hours to Excel and prepare the bill in your invoicing software.
Track clients with recurring services, such as monthly bookkeeping or quarterly returns, and the hours you spend on each.
Admin, manager and member roles to decide who manages clients and cases.
Client reports show how many hours you spend on each retainer, so you can see whether it still pays off.
