Best Practices for Legal Timekeeping in Law Firms
How modern legal chambers avoid fee write-downs and increase client billing realization.
Capture Work Contemporaneously
Log case work as it happens (phone conferences, draft reviews, court appearances) rather than reconstructing timesheets at the end of the month.
Apply 6-Minute Rounding
Convert exact minutes into standard 0.1-hour units (e.g., a 14-minute client consultation rounds to 18 minutes / 0.3 units).
Set Rate by Advocate Seniority
Differentiate hourly rates between junior researchers, managing associates, and arguing senior advocates.
Generate Itemized Tax Invoice
Export the timesheet directly into KanunSoft to issue a formal 13% VAT bill with narrative task descriptions.
