Automated Billable Time Capture

Billable Time Tracking for Law Firms

MIRA helps law firms identify billable activity across everyday work systems and turn it into clearer time entries without relying on memory or manual timers.

  • Capture activity across the tools lawyers already use

  • Review time inside Microsoft Teams

  • Prepare clearer matter-based descriptions

  • Release approved entries toward finance systems

The Problem

Why billable time is still being missed

Lawyers perform many short tasks throughout the day. A brief client call, a document review, an email follow-up, or a research task may be billable, but it is easy to forget when time is entered later.

Manual reconstruction makes time records less complete and descriptions less precise. The result is revenue leakage, slower billing review, and more administrative work.

Short tasks are easy to miss

Quick calls, emails, research, and document reviews often disappear from end-of-day timesheets.

Late entry reduces accuracy

Reconstructing a busy day from memory leads to incomplete time and vague descriptions.

Manual timers interrupt legal work

Starting and stopping timers adds friction and still depends on consistent lawyer behavior.

Billing review takes too long

Finance teams spend time chasing missing entries and clarifying incomplete narratives.

Disconnected tools hide activity

Work spread across documents, calendars, email, and browsers is difficult to capture consistently.

The Solution

Capture work as it happens without relying on timers

MIRA records activity signals from connected legal work systems and helps turn them into draft time entries. Lawyers can review the captured activity and decide what should be saved, merged, edited, or released.

Less dependence on memory

More complete time capture

Clearer entries for billing review

Lawyer control before release

Time Capture

Turn everyday legal work into reviewable time entries

MIRA helps surface work from documents, calendars, files, email, and browser activity. That gives lawyers a more complete starting point than an empty timesheet at the end of the day.

Captured activity can be associated with the correct client and matter, reviewed for billing relevance, and prepared with a clearer narrative.

Capture more billable activity

MIRA identifies work signals that may otherwise be missed.

Prepare clearer entries

AI-assisted descriptions help lawyers explain completed work more precisely.

Review with less friction

Lawyers stay in control while reviewing, merging, editing, or releasing entries.

Microsoft Teams Native

Review captured time in a familiar workspace

MIRA is designed to work inside Microsoft Teams, reducing the need for lawyers to learn another standalone platform.

  • Review captured activity

  • Edit or merge entries

  • Save work for later

  • Release approved time

The lawyer remains in control of every entry. MIRA supports the review process without automatically submitting unapproved activity to billing.

This familiar workflow helps reduce adoption friction across busy legal teams.

Billing Accuracy

Improve entry quality before invoices are prepared

Complete time capture is only part of the process. Entries also need useful descriptions, correct matter information, and any required billing codes.

MIRA helps lawyers prepare structured entries closer to the moment the work occurred.

AI-assisted descriptions and task-code suggestions can reduce vague narratives and make entries easier for finance teams to review.

Clearer inputs support faster invoice preparation and more transparent client billing.

Integrations

Fit Assessment

MIRA integrates with common legal and Microsoft work systems, including iManage, Outlook, OneDrive, Chrome, Aderant, and Elite.

These connections help firms capture activity across the real workflow instead of requiring lawyers to duplicate it in another tool.

Fit Assessment

Who should use automated billable time tracking?

MIRA is a strong fit for firms where lawyers enter time late, short tasks are frequently missed, billing narratives need improvement, or finance teams spend too much time chasing incomplete records.

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

Differentiation

What makes MIRA different from generic time tracking?

Generic tracking tools often focus on attendance, timers, or employee monitoring. Legal timekeeping requires matter-based review, billing descriptions, lawyer control, privacy awareness, and finance-system integration.

MIRA is designed around those legal workflows and keeps the review experience close to tools lawyers already know.

How It Works

From captured activity to approved time

  1. MIRA captures activity signals from connected work systems.

  2. The lawyer reviews captured work inside Microsoft Teams.

  3. Entries can be saved, merged, edited, or excluded.

  4. AI assistance helps prepare descriptions and billing codes.

  5. Approved entries move toward the firm's finance workflow.

Business Impact

Support revenue, productivity, and client trust

Better billable time tracking helps firms capture more work already performed, reduce the burden of timesheet reconstruction, and prepare invoices with fewer gaps.

It also gives clients clearer billing detail and gives firm leaders better visibility into work in progress.
