Legal Time Recording Software for Solicitors
- Details
- Written by: Legal Workspace
Legal Workspace is legal time recording software for UK solicitors, recording 6-minute units by timer or from emails, calls and documents, for £50 per user.
Unrecorded time is lost income, and most of it disappears in small amounts: a short call, a quick email, a letter amended at the end of the day. Legal Workspace makes recording time part of the work itself.
Time is recorded in 6-minute units, either with a timer or straight from the email, call, attendance or document you are working on, and it sits on the matter ready for billing.

Legal Time Recording Features
Capture every chargeable minute as you work, in 6-minute units, ready for billing.
6-minute units as standard
A 6-minute unit is one tenth of an hour, the standard way most UK law firms record and bill time. Legal Workspace records all time in 6-minute units for consistency.
Legal time recording with a timer
Start a timer when you begin a piece of work and stop it when you finish, so longer tasks such as drafting or research are recorded accurately without guesswork.
Record time from emails and calls
Record time directly from emails and calls, so the short pieces of work that are usually forgotten are captured as they happen rather than reconstructed at the end of the day.
Record time from attendances and documents
Time can also be recorded straight from attendances and documents, so meetings, drafting and reviewing are all captured against the matter they relate to, as you work.
Ready when you bill
Recorded time sits on the matter, ready when you prepare a draft bill, so you are not searching through timesheets or notes when it is time to invoice the client.
See what is still unbilled
WIP reports show time that has been recorded but not yet billed, so you can spot matters that are ready for a bill and stop valuable work from going unpaid for months.
