Transparency in how law firms treat their clients is becoming more and more a valuable way to gain trust. TimeSolv always strives to provide the best legal billing tools and features to allow you to easily provide the transparency many clients want.

Today’s Tip of the Week focuses on one of the best features of TimeSolv, our Client Portal, allowing your clients to see as much or as little of the work you’ve done for them. Clients can even pay their bill through the portal if you’ve integrated your LawPay account with TimeSolv.

Unlike a lot of other practice management software, your clients do not need to create an account and password to gain access to their information, which is often a barrier for clients who aren’t interested in creating yet another online account.

 

Enable the Client Portal

So, how exactly do you enable the Client Portal? Any TimeSolv admin can enable the portal under the Clients tab and then Settings. The checkbox to enable the portal is at the bottom of the page.

Enabling the Client Portal

Once you’ve enabled the portal, you’re given several options, including if you’d like login required for your clients. You then decide how much visibility you’d like to give your clients for both time and expense entries.

 

Providing Clients Access to Portal

While we don’t make it a requirement to make your clients login to view their information, some firms may feel more comfortable restricting access that way. Read more here about how to give access to the portal via login if you’d like.  If you do decide to make login a requirement then an email with the credentials you’ve created for them will be sent.

If you choose to not require the login, then a unique link will be created when portal access is assigned and will be included in any statement or invoice that you email to your client. Below is what the portal will look like to your clients.

They’ll have access (if you let them!) to see all time and expense entries, previous bills and a history of payments made. If you accept credit cards and have integrated with LawPay, your clients will be able to pay their invoice through this portal as well.

What client portal looks like for clients
Our Client Portal can dramatically reduce the amount of time spent with clients explaining invoices or dealing with many payment related questions. Less time on the phone means more billable time for your attorneys!
