Whether you are a lawyer at a small, mid-sized, or large firm, long hours for lawyers have long been the norm, with many attorneys working well in excess of 2,000 billable hours a year, and with many associates more or less being expected to bill that much. For some lawyers, billing that many hours is desirable for a number of reasons: building their business, hitting bonuses, or simply because they love the work. But other lawyers seek more of a balance between a prosperous career and time to spend with their families and community and in pursuing other passions.

The Challenges of Flex Time Policies

More and more law firms have responded to this desire for balance from lawyers by offering “flex time” work policies which gives attorneys the ability to work more limited hours, and which often include the option of working from home or other remote locations. Because so much attorney work is done outside of the courtroom anyway, this can be a workable option in many cases, but there do remain perceived challenges with remote working policies including:

  • How will administrative tasks like time entry and billing be done?
  • How can tasks be easily assigned to someone working from afar?
  • How does a managing attorney make sure the work is being done on schedule and within budget?

There is a Solution

All of these issues are critical to maintaining the profitability of a firm through satisfied clients and prompt and efficient time tracking and billing. And with TimeSolv, firms of all sizes can easily address these issues through the following features:
