Frequently Asked Questions
How does 6-minute increment billing work?
The system automatically rounds time entries to the nearest 6-minute increment (0.1 hour), which is the standard billing unit in legal practice. For example, 7 minutes of work bills as 0.2 hours (12 minutes), and 23 minutes bills as 0.4 hours (24 minutes). This ensures compliance with legal billing standards and simplifies time entry for attorneys.
Can we track time separately for different matter types (litigation, corporate, real estate)?
Yes, you can create separate matter types and associate time entries with specific matters. The system tracks time by matter type, helping you understand profitability across different practice areas. Many law firms bill different rates for different matter types, and the system supports this with matter-based billing rules.
How do we handle time tracking for trust accounting and client retainers?
The system integrates with trust accounting to track time against client retainers. You can see how much time has been billed against retainer balances and when retainers need to be replenished. Time entries are automatically associated with the correct client account, ensuring compliance with trust accounting requirements.
What about tracking time for legal research and document review?
Create separate time categories for legal research, document drafting, document review, and case strategy. Research and document review can be time-intensive activities that should be tracked separately from client meetings and court time. The system allows you to see time spent on each activity type, helping you understand case costs and bill clients accurately.
