Review captured activity instead of starting from a blank timesheet
Edit descriptions before billing review
Merge related work into cleaner entries
Save or release approved time toward finance workflows
The Problem
Legal time entry is still too manual
Time entry is where legal work becomes billing data. If the entry is late, vague, or incomplete, the downstream invoice will suffer.
Lawyers often know they did the work, but they may not remember the exact document, call, research issue, or matter purpose by the time they enter time.
Blank timesheets waste time
Lawyers lose time recreating the day instead of reviewing actual captured activity.
Descriptions lack detail
Late entries often say 'reviewed documents' or 'call' without useful billing context.
Entries need judgment
Not every captured activity should be saved or billed; lawyers need review control.
Short work gets skipped
Small client tasks may not feel worth entering manually but add up across the firm.
Billing teams inherit cleanup
Incomplete entries lead to follow-up, delays, and review friction.
The Solution
Give lawyers reviewable entries instead of blank fields
MIRA helps turn captured legal work activity into draft time entries that lawyers can review. The lawyer can then decide what should be saved, merged, edited, excluded, or released.
Faster time entry review
Better descriptions
Less missed work
Human control before submission
Time Capture
Capture the context behind the entry
A good time entry needs more than a duration. It needs matter context, work description, billing relevance, and sometimes task or activity codes.
MIRA helps surface activity from the systems where legal work actually happens, giving lawyers more context when preparing entries.
Start from captured activity
MIRA helps lawyers review work signals instead of starting from memory.
Edit and merge entries
Lawyers can refine descriptions and combine related work before release.
Improve narratives with AI
AI assistance helps draft clearer billable descriptions and suggest codes.
Microsoft Teams Native
Review time entries inside Microsoft Teams
MIRA supports time entry review in Microsoft Teams so lawyers can manage time in a familiar workspace.
View captured activity
Edit descriptions
Merge related entries
Save drafts
Release approved entries
This workflow reduces the need to switch between systems and helps keep time entry closer to the lawyer's daily work rhythm.
Lawyer review remains central to the process.
Billing Accuracy
Create clearer descriptions before finance review
Weak time entry descriptions can trigger client questions, write-offs, and billing review delays.
A vague entry like “Reviewed documents” does not explain enough.
MIRA can help prepare clearer descriptions such as “Reviewed revised purchase agreement and analyzed indemnity and termination provisions for client comments.”
Lawyers can edit the final version before release.
Integrations
Fit Assessment
MIRA supports workflows involving iManage Work, Outlook Calendar, OneDrive, Chrome, Microsoft Teams, and downstream finance systems such as Aderant, Elite, MATTEROOM, QBO, or custom integrations.
The goal is to reduce manual duplication and make the time entry workflow more complete.
Fit Assessment
Who should use legal time entry software?
MIRA is a good fit for firms where lawyers enter time late, billing descriptions are inconsistent, task or activity codes are required, or finance teams spend too much time correcting entries.
It is especially useful for firms that want better entries without forcing lawyers into another heavy platform.
Differentiation
Built around review, not blind automation
Legal time entry requires judgment. A tool should not blindly convert activity into billing records without review.
MIRA keeps lawyers in the loop and supports professional judgment before entries are saved or released.
How It Works
From activity to reviewed time entry
MIRA captures activity signals from connected systems.
Draft entries are surfaced for lawyer review.
Lawyers edit descriptions, merge related work, or exclude irrelevant activity.
AI assistance helps prepare descriptions and code suggestions.
Approved entries move toward the firm’s finance workflow.
Business Impact
Better entries create better billing inputs
Improved legal time entry helps firms reduce missed time, shorten billing review, improve client clarity, and create a better record of work performed.
Cleaner entries also help finance teams spend less time chasing lawyers for missing details.
