Built for precision billing

Six capabilities purpose-built for law firms that need every billable hour captured, reviewed, and defensible.

Matter-based time entry

Log every hour against the specific matter and practice area, not a generic project bucket, so realization reporting is accurate from day one.

Compliance-grade audit trail

Every entry, edit, and approval is timestamped and logged, giving you a defensible record for bar compliance and client audits.

Defensible, itemized invoicing

Export detailed time narratives by matter as PDF, CSV, or Excel, so every invoice can withstand client and fee-auditor review.

Partner approval workflows

Route associate and paralegal time through partner review before anything is billed, with rejection reasons and full history preserved.

Retroactive entry window

A configurable grace period (default 15 days) accounts for how litigation and matter work actually gets logged, without sacrificing accuracy.

Practice area utilization

See billable ratio and capacity across litigation, corporate, IP, family law, and every other practice group in one view.

Bill every hour with confidence.

Matter-based tracking and a full audit trail mean every invoice is ready for client review before you send it.
