Automated Legal Time Capture

Automated Time Tracking for Lawyers

MIRA helps law firms automate time capture across daily legal systems, reduce reliance on manual timers, and prepare clearer entries for review.

  • Capture legal work activity without relying only on timers

  • Review captured time inside Microsoft Teams

  • Prepare clearer entries before billing

  • Keep lawyers in control of final time records

The Problem

Manual tracking does not match how lawyers work

Legal work does not happen in clean blocks. Lawyers move between calls, documents, meetings, emails, research, and client questions throughout the day.

Manual timers and end-of-day timesheets depend on perfect behavior. That is not realistic for most legal teams.

Manual timers are easy to forget

Lawyers often start work before starting a timer or forget to switch matters.

End-of-day entry loses detail

Descriptions become less accurate when lawyers reconstruct time later.

Short tasks disappear

Quick matter-related work often goes unrecorded even when it is valuable.

Calendar and document work is scattered

Scheduled meetings and document activity sit in separate systems.

Billing review starts with incomplete data

Missing or vague time entries create finance and partner review friction.

The Solution

Capture activity automatically and review it with judgment

MIRA helps automate legal time capture by surfacing work activity from connected systems. Lawyers can then review captured activity and decide what should become time.

Capture more work activity

Reduce dependence on memory

Avoid blind auto-submission

Keep lawyer review in the process

Time Capture

Turn everyday activity into reviewable time entries

MIRA helps capture signals from legal work systems, including document work, calendar events, file activity, browser activity, and related workflows.

This gives lawyers a better starting point than an empty timesheet.

Automated activity capture

MIRA helps identify work signals from connected legal and Microsoft systems.

Review before release

Lawyers decide what gets edited, merged, saved, excluded, or released.

Better billing inputs

AI-assisted descriptions help improve entry quality before billing review.

Microsoft Teams Native

Review automated time capture in Microsoft Teams

MIRA lets lawyers review time inside Microsoft Teams.

  • View captured activity

  • Edit descriptions

  • Merge related tasks

  • Save entries

  • Release approved time

The workflow is designed to reduce friction. Lawyers do not need to learn another heavy platform just to manage captured time.

MIRA supports automation while preserving control.

Billing Accuracy

Improve descriptions while context is still fresh

Automated capture is most valuable when it leads to clear, accurate entries.

A captured event or document signal still needs a useful billing description.

MIRA supports AI-assisted descriptions and task or activity code suggestions. Lawyers can refine entries before release.

This helps reduce vague entries and billing review cleanup.

Integrations

Fit Assessment

MIRA supports workflows involving Microsoft Teams, Outlook Calendar, OneDrive, iManage Work, Chrome, and connected finance systems such as Aderant, Elite, MATTEROOM, QBO, and custom integrations.

These connections make automated tracking more useful because they reflect where legal work actually happens.

Fit Assessment

Who should use automated legal time tracking?

MIRA is a fit for firms where manual timers are not working, lawyers enter time late, short tasks are missed, and finance teams need clearer entries before billing review.

It is especially useful for firms already using Microsoft Teams, Microsoft 365, iManage, or supported finance systems.

Differentiation

Automation without removing lawyer control

Some automated tracking tools lean toward employee monitoring or raw productivity measurement. Legal timekeeping needs review, confidentiality awareness, matter context, and billing judgment.

MIRA is designed to assist timekeeping, not to bypass lawyer review.

How It Works

From automated capture to reviewed entries

  1. MIRA captures activity signals from connected systems.

  2. Captured activity appears for lawyer review.

  3. The lawyer edits, merges, saves, excludes, or releases entries.

  4. AI assistance helps prepare descriptions and codes.

  5. Approved entries move toward the finance workflow.

Business Impact

Reduce missed work and manual reconstruction

Automated time tracking helps firms capture more work already completed, reduce timekeeping admin, and give finance teams cleaner entries before billing review.

It also helps lawyers spend less time recreating the day from memory.
