Legal Management Systems: Let's Talk about Time Management

Are your timekeepers efficiently capturing time? Are you concerned that billable time goes unrecorded? 

Time Management is about maximizing billable time.

It's important to...

• Make Time Entry Easy for Everyone 

With LMS, timekeepers can choose a methodology that works for them rather than conform to the system.

• Recording Time Daily

ABA studies in 1983 concluded that billed time can increase up to 8-12% if recorded as you go...reconstructing time does not work.

• Use Full Day Accounting 

Timekeeping is a discipline and understanding where your entire day in the office goes will increase billable time.

LMS Time Capture Methodologies: WebTime Timers

Have you considered all of the ways that Rippe & Kingston's LMS software can assist you in enhancing your Firm's timekeeping?

We discussed Full Day Accounting last week, and we're talking about LMS+ WebTime Timers today!

WebTime Timers are convenient and easy to use.  They allow you and your Attorneys to conveniently track time for specific Clients and Matters. 

 

You can access WebTime Timers from the tabs in WebTime and have the option to start a timer, run multiple timers, and/or switch timers.   

There’s also a Retro-Start timer button that allows a user to start a new timer as of the end of the last paused or stopped timer. 

If you're not using Timers already, it's very possible that you should be.

LMS Time Capture Methodologies: Make Time for Timekeeping

Many of you might agree that capturing time is a core underpinning of your Firm’s success, and it’s not always an easy task for timekeepers to tackle.  

Timekeeping can be a struggle for anyone, no matter how diligent they are.  The busier one gets, the harder it is to remember to keep track of his or her time successfully.  

One of the keys to effective timekeeping is to make it a priority Firm-wide.  Maybe even reward good timekeeping with small incentives.  It just might be worth it!

Of course, Rippe & Kingston’s LMS software can help make timekeeping easier, too.

Implementation of the LMS Time Capture Methodologies that your Firm is not using already might be the source to more BILLABLE time.
