Legal Timekeeping Software for Lawyers
MIRA helps law firms turn everyday legal work into accurate time entries. Instead of relying on memory, manual timers, or end-of-day reconstruction, MIRA captures work activity across the tools lawyers already use and helps prepare clearer, more complete billable entries.

iManage, Outlook, OneDrive, Chrome
Release time entries to finance and billing systems
Review inside Microsoft Teams
AI-assisted task codes
The Problem
Why legal timekeeping is still broken
Most lawyers do not lose billable time because they do not work enough. They lose it because the work is hard to capture after the fact.
A short client call, a document review, an email follow up, a calendar meeting, or a quick research task can easily disappear from the timesheet. When lawyers wait until the end of the day — or worse, the end of the week — time entries become less accurate and billable work becomes harder to justify.
That creates problems across the firm.
Missed billable time reduces revenue
Up to 16% of billable hours lost to incomplete capture
Incomplete entries slow billing review
Finance teams spend hours chasing incomplete time records
Vague descriptions create client questions
Unclear narratives lead to write-offs and billing disputes
Manual time entry consumes lawyer attention
Up to 5 hours per month lost to timesheet reconstruction
Disconnected systems make adoption harder
Lawyers resist tools that add friction to complex workflows
The Solution
MIRA is legal timekeeping software built for the way lawyers work
AI-powered legal timekeeping designed to help lawyers capture, review, and prepare time entries with less friction — across common legal workflows and the tools they already use.
Lawyers don't need to recreate details from memory
Finance teams get cleaner time entries earlier
Partners get better visibility into work in progress
Clients receive more accurate billing details
Time Capture
Capture billable time without relying on memory
Traditional legal timekeeping often depends on lawyers remembering what they did, how long it took, which matter it belonged to, and how the work should be described. That process is fragile.
MIRA helps reduce that burden by capturing work activity as it happens. Lawyers can then review captured time and decide what should be saved, merged, edited, or released.
This keeps the lawyer in control while reducing the manual work behind time entry.
Better time capture
MIRA helps identify work that may otherwise be missed — a quick email, a brief document review, a 10-minute client call, a research task in the browser.
Better time descriptions
AI assisted billable entry helps suggest task or activity codes and draft clearer descriptions that meet client billing guidelines and reduce rejection rates.
Better billing review
Cleaner entries reduce back and forth between lawyers, assistants, finance teams, and billing reviewers — streamlining the path from work to invoice.
Microsoft Teams Native
Designed to work inside Microsoft Teams
Many legal timekeeping tools fail because they ask lawyers to change too much. MIRA is designed to reduce platform switching by letting users review captured time inside Microsoft Teams. From the Teams app, users can view, edit, save, merge, or release entries to the finance system.
No extra daily memory game Lawyers do not need to reconstruct the entire day from scratch. MIRA has already tracked it across connected systems.
No heavy learning curve The workflow is built around familiar Microsoft tools. If lawyers use Teams, they already know how to use MIRA.
No disconnected review process Captured time can be reviewed, edited, merged, and released without leaving the Teams environment.
Billing Accuracy
Built for legal workflows and billing accuracy
Legal timekeeping is different from general employee time tracking. Law firms need accurate matter-based entries, detailed descriptions, billing code support, and integration with existing finance systems.
MIRA supports legal timekeeping by helping firms move from raw activity to structured entries. Its AI assisted billable entry can suggest task or activity codes and billable descriptions, helping lawyers create entries that are easier to review.
Billing quality is not only about hours — it is also about whether the time entry is clear, consistent, and acceptable to the client. Learn more about UTBMS codes and how they apply to legal billing.
Integrations
Fit Assessment
MIRA integrates with iManage Work for document activity, Microsoft Outlook Calendar for scheduled activities, Microsoft OneDrive and Chrome for work signals, and leading finance systems such as Aderant and Elite. Custom finance integrations are also available.
Law firms rarely operate from one system. Timekeeping has to connect with document work, calendar activity, billing review, and finance release. MIRA helps bridge those systems so time capture becomes more complete and less dependent on manual entry.
iManage Documents | Outlook Calendar |
Aderant Finance | OneDrive Files |
Elite 3E Finance | Custom Any System |

Differentiation
What makes MIRA different from generic time tracking software?
GENERIC TIME TRACKING | MIRA LEGAL TIMEKEEPING |
❌ Focuses on timers, attendance, or productivity tracking ❌ No matter-based classification or billing code support ❌ No integration with legal finance systems ❌ Creates privacy concerns and adoption resistance ❌ Forces lawyers into a separate, unfamiliar platform | 👍 Passive time capture — no timers, no active input 👍 Matter-based entries with AI-assisted task codes 👍 Integrates with Aderant, Elite, and custom finance systems 👍 Lawyer-controlled review within Microsoft Teams 👍 No extra platform — works inside tools lawyers already use |
How It Works
From captured activity to cleaner time entries
MIRA captures activity from connected work systems Document work in iManage, calendar events in Outlook, file activity in OneDrive, and browser research in Chrome are all captured automatically.
The lawyer reviews captured time inside Microsoft Teams A clean review experience surfaces all captured activity without lawyers needing to switch into a separate system or platform.
The lawyer saves, merges, edits, or releases entries Full control stays with the lawyer — entries can be combined, adjusted, or approved before they move toward billing.
AI assisted entry suggests task codes and descriptions MIRA drafts clearer billable descriptions and suggests appropriate task or activity codes — making entries easier to review and approve. See how AI time tracking for lawyers works.
Approved entries move toward the finance system Released entries flow to the connected billing or finance system. This workflow helps law firms reduce missed time while keeping human review in place. Learn about automated time tracking for lawyers.
