Common questions

Can I record non-billable time?

Yes. Time can be recorded as non-billable when you want to track effort without charging for it. Non-billable entries are tracked against the matter but are not billed.

How is recorded time billed?

Billable time recorded against a matter can be included on an invoice for that file. The amount is based on the time or units recorded and the applicable rate.

Can I add time entries in bulk?

Law App supports recording multiple time entries, so you are not limited to entering them one screen at a time. The video shows the entry process; contact support if you want guidance on faster bulk entry.
