Time Capture & Billing for Law Firms: Guides & Workflows

Time capture is where law firm profitability and client experience meet. This hub brings together OrdoLux content on time recording, billing and utilisation.

Use this page when you are:

• Reviewing how your firm records time.
• Comparing case management or practice management systems.
• Looking for ways to reduce leakage and write-offs.

Time capture fundamentals

These guides cover the basics of capturing time accurately without slowing fee-earners down:

• Reducing time write‑offs with better time capture
• Designing matter workflows around AI and time capture
• Measuring ROI on legal AI and time‑capture projects

We’ll link additional posts here as they go live.

Billing workflows and client experience

Clients are increasingly sensitive to:

• Inconsistent narratives between work done and invoices rendered.
• Surprise bills and unclear write‑offs.
• Lack of transparency over alternative fee arrangements.

Future posts in this hub will look at:

• Narrative‑driven billing.
• Using better time data to avoid uncomfortable fee conversations.
• Reporting that helps partners and practice heads manage utilisation.

OrdoLux is legal case management software built for UK law firms, with time recording and billing built into every matter.

Where OrdoLux fits

OrdoLux is built around time capture. Time entries can be created from the keyboard, captured automatically from Outlook emails you send, or recorded directly from WhatsApp conversations — including from voice note transcriptions. This covers the most common places where billable time gets lost.

The platform also handles matter management, billing, document storage via SharePoint, KYC, and electronic signatures. The AI research tool is available for legal research tasks.
