If you’re using manual timesheets or relying on memory at the end of the day, you’re likely leaving tens of thousands in unbilled hours on the table.
This article shows how modern time tracking software for lawyers can boost your billable revenue by up to 15% — with real examples, ROI calculations, and the must-have features to look for.
Most lawyers are juggling court hearings, client calls, document prep, emails, and research — often switching between tasks multiple times a day. Without real-time tracking, it's easy to forget a 15-minute phone call or a quick piece of legal research.
