The End of Forgotten Billable Time
Every other time tracking tool asks you to change your behavior. LegalEdge captures your work without you changing a thing.
Passive Capture, Zero Effort
LegalEdge silently monitors your work across documents, emails, calls, and research. You never click start or stop. Every activity is captured and timestamped automatically.
AI Matter Matching at 95%+ Accuracy
Our AI analyzes file names, email addresses, document content, and activity context to assign time to the correct matter. Most entries need zero corrections.
$47K More Revenue Per Attorney
Firms using passive capture bill an average of 10-30% more hours. For an attorney billing at $350/hour, that translates to $47,000+ in additional annual revenue.
End-of-Day Review in 5 Minutes
Instead of reconstructing your day from memory, review a pre-built timesheet. Approve, adjust, or add narrative — then submit. Most attorneys finish in under 5 minutes.
How Passive Time Capture Works
The Problem: 62% of Your Billable Day Disappears
Studies consistently show that attorneys who rely on manual timers or end-of-day reconstruction lose 10-40% of their billable work. A 3-minute phone call, a 7-minute email exchange, a 12-minute document review — these small activities add up to hours of unbilled time every single day. Manual timers fail because they require you to remember to start them, and you are in the business of practicing law, not watching a stopwatch.
- The average attorney forgets to bill 62% of sub-15-minute activities
- End-of-day reconstruction underestimates actual time by 10-40%
- Manual timer fatigue leads to declining compliance within weeks
- Lost time at $350/hour costs firms $47,000+ per attorney per year
Step 1: Passive Capture Runs in the Background
Install the LegalEdge desktop companion (Windows and Mac) and work exactly as you normally do. The app silently detects when you open a document, draft an email, join a call, visit a legal research site, or interact with any matter-related file. It logs the activity, the duration, and the context — without interrupting your flow or slowing your machine.
- Lightweight desktop companion uses less than 50MB of memory
- Tracks documents, emails, browser activity, calls, and meetings
- Privacy controls let you exclude personal apps and websites
- Works offline and syncs captured time when you reconnect
Step 2: AI Matches Activities to Matters
Every captured activity passes through LegalEdge AI, which analyzes the file name, email participants, document metadata, and content patterns to match it to the correct matter. The system learns from your corrections and improves over time. Within two weeks, most firms see 95%+ automatic matching accuracy — meaning almost every time entry is correctly assigned before you even look at it.
- Multi-signal matching: file names, contacts, content, and history
- Accuracy improves continuously as the AI learns your patterns
- Confidence scoring highlights entries that need your attention
- New matters are recognized within hours of their first activity
Step 3: Review and Approve Your Timesheet
At the end of the day — or whenever you prefer — open your time review dashboard. You will see every captured activity organized by matter with suggested descriptions. Approve entries with one click, adjust durations, edit narratives, merge related activities, or split entries across matters. What used to take 20-30 minutes of painful reconstruction now takes under 5 minutes of quick review.
- One-click approval for entries that need no changes
- AI-generated narratives that match your firm's billing style
- Merge, split, and bulk-edit tools for fast adjustments
- Minimum increment rounding (6-minute, 10-minute, or 15-minute)
Step 4: Real-Time Visibility for Firm Leadership
Managing partners and billing coordinators get a live view of firm-wide time capture. See who is on track, who has unreviewed entries piling up, and which matters are approaching budget thresholds — all without chasing attorneys for their timesheets. Automated reminders nudge attorneys who have unsubmitted time, so you never have to be the bad guy again.
- Firm-wide dashboard shows captured, reviewed, and submitted time
- Budget alerts when matters approach fee caps or estimate limits
- Automated daily or weekly reminders for unsubmitted time
- Utilization and realization reports updated in real time
Manual Timers Still Available When You Want Them
Passive capture does not replace manual time entry — it ensures nothing falls through the cracks. You can still start and stop timers, create manual entries, or use the quick-entry keyboard shortcut at any time. LegalEdge deduplicates automatically, so you never double-bill when passive capture and a manual timer overlap on the same activity.
- One-click timer from any screen in the platform
- Global keyboard shortcut to start/stop without switching apps
- Automatic deduplication prevents double-billing
- Mobile app for capturing time on courthouse visits and depositions
From Captured Time to Collected Revenue
Time tracking is only valuable if it turns into revenue. LegalEdge connects every captured minute directly to billing, reporting, and matter budgets.
Billing & Invoicing
Approved time entries flow directly into draft invoices. No exports, no manual re-entry, no lost entries between systems.
Matter Management
Every time entry is linked to its matter. Matter dashboards show real-time billable totals, budgets, and unbilled WIP.
Financial Reporting
Utilization rates, realization rates, and revenue-per-attorney reports update in real time as time is captured and approved.
Client Portal
Clients can see detailed time narratives on their invoices. Transparent billing builds trust and reduces disputes.
“In our first month with passive capture, our attorneys billed an average of 26% more hours — without working a single extra minute. We were just finally capturing the work we were already doing. That translated to over $180,000 in additional revenue for the quarter.”
