Legal time tracking software FAQs

What is legal time tracking software?

Legal time tracking software is a tool that allows you to input, categorize, and record the time spent on tasks at work.

Lawyers generally work on multiple matters for multiple clients in a day. Trying to remember billable hours at the end of the day (or more realistically, at the end of the month) can mean work doesn’t always make it on the invoice. Legal time tracking software helps eliminate uncertainty by tracking work in real time. No more overcharging or underbilling a client.

See Clio in Action.

Can I add time for other users at my firm?

Yes. Any user can add or edit time entries on behalf of another user by selecting their name from the Time Entry drop down list.
