Automated Time Tracking in Law Firms: Efficiency through Legal Tech

Time Tracking is an Integral Part of Legal Work – and Essential for Law Firms
Every minute counts – not just for accurate billing, but also for the long-term success of the firm. Yet while recording working hours is a key foundation for transparency and efficiency, it often remains an unpopular administrative task.
The solution? Automation through modern Legal Tech tools like TimeSpin.
