Time Tracking for Lawyers Who Bill Clients by the Hour or Manage Case Budgets
Lawyers time tracking
Teetrack helps lawyers log billable hours per case and client, track matter budgets, and generate invoices that stand up to client scrutiny.
Why Lawyers struggle with time tracking
Six-minute billing increments demand disciplined real-time logging
Legal work is billed in small increments — a quick email, a phone call, a document review. If you reconstruct your day from memory at 6 PM, you will under-report by 20% or more.
Multiple matters overlap throughout the day
Lawyers frequently switch between cases — a contract review in the morning, a call on litigation in the afternoon, research for a third matter in between. Allocating time accurately across matters requires real-time logging.
Clients dispute invoices when line items lack detail
Corporate clients increasingly scrutinize legal bills. Vague entries like "research" or "correspondence" invite pushback. Detailed time logs with matter context reduce billing disputes.
How Teetrack solves this
- Small tasks going unlogged throughout the day: Start and stop timers per matter so every email, call, and document review is captured in real time — not reconstructed from memory.
- Case budgets exceeded without early warning: Set matter budgets and track burn against them so you can notify clients before costs exceed their expectations.
- Invoices challenged for lack of detail: Generate detailed invoices with per-matter line items and descriptions pulled directly from time entries.
