Feature Release: August 2025

In the fast-paced world of legal practice, every minute counts, literally. Between managing client matters, tracking deadlines, and ensuring billable hours are accurately recorded, lawyers often find themselves juggling multiple priorities. With that in mind, Lawcus is excited to introduce its all-new Time Insights feature, designed to make time tracking effortless, insightful, and seamlessly integrated into your daily workflow.

Whether you’re a solo attorney, part of a small team, or managing a full-scale law firm, Time Insights helps you and your team gain complete visibility into how your time is spent, every day, every week.

Why Time Insights Matter in Modern Legal Practice

Time tracking isn’t just about billing; it’s also about accountability, productivity, and profitability. Law firms that consistently track time accurately:

• Bill more efficiently, reducing revenue leakage
• Identify unproductive hours and optimize workloads
• Improve transparency with clients regarding time spent
• Ensure team accountability across multiple matters
  

Traditional time tracking tools, however, are often cumbersome, disconnected from daily workflows, or simply forgotten. With Lawcus Time Insights, your time data resides within your practice management system, where your work takes place.

My Timesheets: Your Week, Simplified

In a busy legal practice, timekeeping shouldn’t be a burden. That’s why Lawcus introduced the My Timesheets tab, a personal productivity dashboard designed to help individual timekeepers stay aligned with their weekly goals, stay accountable, and ensure no billable minute is lost.

Whether you’re tracking your own time or reviewing time spent on different matters, My Timesheets gives you the clarity and control you need to make the most of your week. Here’s what you can do:

• Add matters you’re actively working on using the “Add Matter Row” button
• See your billable and non-billable hours broken down by day and matter
• Quickly enter or edit time entries for each day from the grid itself, ensuring no billable minute is lost
• Need to change additional details? Just click on the preferred column and make inline edits on the grid itself.
• Add time entries without associating them with a matter. Whether it’s firm meetings, administrative work, or internal research, every minute counts.
• Monitor your daily targets with built-in visual cues that reflect:
  • Total hours worked
  • Breakdown of billable vs. non-billable time
  • Target hours set in your Practice Settings
  • Remaining billable time needed to meet your daily goal
• Get weekly summaries, showing the total billable, non-billable, and combined hours for each matter.

If you’re an attorney or team member looking for a clear, quick view of your time allocation, My Timesheets is built for you. With intuitive controls, real-time feedback, and flexible entry options, it ensures every minute you work is accounted for — all in one place.

All Timesheets: Team Visibility Like Never Before

When you’re responsible for overseeing productivity across your firm, you need more than just individual time tracking — you need full visibility, flexible controls, and actionable insights. That’s where the All Timesheets tab in Lawcus Time Insights comes in.

Whether you’re a firm administrator, billing manager, or team lead, All Timesheets is your centralized command center for reviewing and optimizing timekeeping across your team.

With permission-based access, the All Timesheets tab allows you to track time entries across your entire team — all in one place.

• Use the “All Timekeepers” dropdown to quickly switch between users and view each team member’s weekly timesheet.
• Track time entries for your entire team
• See user-wise breakdowns of daily billable and non-billable hours
• Define an annual billable hour target for that user and set a custom hourly billing rate for accurate revenue projections
• Review total weekly time allocations per team member: billable, non-billable, and combined
• Want a closer look at a timekeeper’s weekly activity? Just click the “Open” button next to their name to open a detailed breakdown — similar to what the user sees in their own My Timesheets tab.

The All Timesheets tab doesn’t just help you monitor time entries — it empowers you to manage team performance with clarity and confidence.

From reviewing day-to-day activity to setting measurable expectations through custom rates and annual billable targets, Lawcus gives you the visibility and control you need to lead your firm efficiently.

  • Only billable time
  • Only non-billable time
