LexisNexis® Juris® Go Simplifies Billable Time and Receipt Management for Law Firms
Law firms of all sizes and practice areas face the universal challenge of capturing billable time accurately while managing the administrative burdens of expense tracking and receipt management. The American Bar Association has estimated that legal professionals lose up to 10% of billable hours due to time tracking errors and expense management has been cited as one of the top finance challenges facing law firms.
The Evolution of Time and Expense Management
Time is quite literally money in legal practice. Yet traditional time-tracking methods — handwritten notes, end-of-day reconstructions or dictation to staff — often lead to underbilled hours, delayed invoicing and client disputes over insufficient detail. Similarly, tracking expenses and managing receipts can create administrative bottlenecks that divert attention from billable work.
Juris was one of the pioneers in law firm time, billing, accounting and financial management software. The platform gives law firms control over their receivables, payables, trust accounting and budgeting with simple timekeeping and billing tools that drive their accounting workflow.
More recently, Juris Go has emerged as the comprehensive time and expense tracking tool that has been transforming how attorneys manage these critical tasks on mobile devices. Law firms have reported increased billable hours, improved invoice detail and significantly faster expense reconciliation since implementing Juris Go.
In the latest chapter on this evolution journey, Juris Go is taking a significant leap forward by extending its capabilities to the web, giving attorneys and legal staff unprecedented flexibility in how they track their valuable time.
