From Time Tracking To Invoicing: How TimeSolv Transforms Legal Practice – Above the Law

TimeSolv
is
a
cloud-based
timekeeping
and
billing
platform
tailored
specifically
for
law
firms
and
other
professional
services.
Since
its
inception
in
1999,
TimeSolv
has
been
helping
legal
professionals
increase
their
billable
time
and
streamline
their
billing
processes.
The
most
prominent
administrative
challenges
lawyers
face
are
accurately
tracking
time,
invoices
going
unpaid,
and
managing
the
logistical
aspects
of
their
cases.
TimeSolv
provides
a
solution
for
all
of
these
issues.


It’s
All
About
Time

Lawyers
know
that
timekeeping
extends
beyond
hourly
billing.
TimeSolv
allows
legal
teams
to
track
every
minute
spent
on
tasks
and
gain
valuable
insights
into
potential
inefficiencies.
TimeSolv
provides
resources
for
the
firm
to
evaluate
the
profitability
of
flat-rate
legal
fees
and
set
matter
time
budgets
to
protect
profitability.
Users
can
see
their
daily,
weekly,
and
monthly
time
billed.

See
Figure

TimeSolv
summarizes
performance
related
to
time
entries,
showing
monthly
total
hours
billed
and
the
value
of
those
hours.
Users
see
their
billable
totals
for
each
day
and
week.

Team
members
can
create
time
entries
manually
in
the
application
or
via
widget
timers,
capturing
time
as
they
work
rather
than
trying
to
recreate
how
they
spent
their
day.
TimeSolv’s
mobile
app
works
seamlessly
with
the
desktop
application,
allowing
lawyers
to
use
the
built-in
timers
to
track
activity
in
real
time,
even
when
they
are
not
connected
to
the
internet,
providing
a
seamless
data
sync.
Users
can
employ
abbreviation
codes
for
long
descriptions
and
use
their
phone’s
voice-to-text
functionality
for
quick
and
accurate
data
entry.
The
mobile
app
is
available
for
both
iOS
and
Android
devices.

The
in-depth
reporting
assists
teams
in
understanding
how
hours
are
spent
and
analyzing
productivity
and
project
allocation.
Setting
time
budgets
allows
case
administrators
to
keep
projects
profitable
and
create
alerts
when
billing
approaches
a
preset
limit.
TimeSolv
offers
an

interactive
time
tracking
demo

to
increase
user
success.

TimeSolv
also
helps
track
expenses
efficiently,
allowing
users
to
attach
receipts
to
matters
and
invoices,
set
limits
on
tracked
expenses
per
matter,
and
see
a
calendar
overview
of
expenses
(daily,
weekly,
monthly).
Firms
can
also
set
up
daily,
weekly,
or
monthly
recurring
expenditures.
These
tools
enable
the
firm
to
keep
track
of
expenses
and
prepare
accordingly.


Billing
and
Invoicing

TimeSolv
automatically
formats
invoices
to
meet
the
exact
specifications
of
the
LEDES
billing
system,
ensuring
compliance
and
reducing
the
risk
of
errors.
TimeSolv
supports
multiple
LEDES
formats,
including
LEDES
1998B,
LEDES
1998BI,
LEDES
2000,
and
LEDES
1998BV2.
This
flexibility
allows
a
firm
to
choose
the
format
that
best
meets
its
needs.

A
firm
can
customize
invoices
to
match
their
style
and
branding,
including
all
necessary
details
like
time
entries,
expenses,
trust
balances,
and
more.
Whether
billing
hourly,
flat
rate,
or
on
a
contingency
basis,
TimeSolv
adapts
to
each
firm’s
needs.
Users
can
view
draft
invoices
and
filter
by
client
or
date
range
on
the
draft
invoice
screen.

See
Figure
2.

listing
of
all
invoices
prior
to
final
billing

the
clients,
individual
invoice
amounts,
and

Additionally,
users
can
view
draft
invoices
without
downloading
by
clicking
on
the
magnifying
glass
on
the
far
right.
Editing
can
be
done
by
clicking
the
dollar
amount
and
modifying
line
items,
descriptions,
rates,
and
other
details.

Trust
accounting
is
critical
for
law
firms
to
manage
client
funds
accurately
and
ethically.
Track
all
financial
transactions
related
to
client
trust
funds
in
TimeSolv,
ensuring
compliance
with
legal
requirements.
TimeSolv
automates
trust
transactions
to
pay
invoices
directly
from
trust
accounts
and
monitors
trust
account
balances.
When
funds
fall
below
the
designated
level
(minimum
balance),
TimeSolv
automatically
replenishes
them.
Each
matter
can
have
unlimited
trust
accounts
(IOLTA
or
COLTAF).
Conveniently
manage
client
funds
across
different
cases
within
a
single
interface.
If
a
firm
handles
multiple
cases
for
a
client,
moving
client
funds
between
trust
accounts
is
seamless.
Precise
fiscal
management,
including
accurate
monthly
reconciliations,
ensures
accuracy
and
compliance.
Detailed
reports
help
firms
analyze
trust
activity,
identify
discrepancies,
and
maintain
transparency.
TimeSolv’s
trust
accounting
software
adheres
to
legal
trust
accounting
rules.

Getting
paid
is
critical
to
any
firm’s
success.

and
allocating

easily
enter

and
allocate
them
to
specific
invoices.

law
firms
and
other
professional
services
understand
and
improve
their
accounts

(AR)
management.
The

that

be
made
using

number
of
days
it

and
the

billed
per
month.
The

then
shows
the
potential
revenue
gain
by
implementing
TimeSolv’s
Zero
AR
process.
It
provides
a
comparison
between
the
current
collection
total
and
the

total
with
a

collection
rate.
