Time Tracking & Billing
Every billable minute captured, every invoice complete.
Time is the primary product of a law firm, and lost time is revenue gone. Law360 makes time capture frictionless — start a timer from a matter, or enter time manually in a timesheet view — and keeps everything tied to the matter and the timekeeper. Flexible billing rates, retainer management, and itemised invoice generation mean that billing day is a review step, not a data-entry marathon. Payments are recorded against invoices and reconciled with the matter ledger.

Start a timer from inside the matter
Lawyers start a running timer directly from the matter they are working on — no separate application, no tab-switching. When the task is done they stop the timer, add a narrative, classify it as billable or non-billable, and the entry is saved. The clock is always where the work is.
Enter time manually in a timesheet view
Not every task gets a timer. The timesheet view lets fee earners log time across multiple matters in one sitting — days in rows, matters as columns — so filling in the day’s work takes minutes, not forms.
Classify billable and non-billable time
Every entry is marked billable or non-billable at capture. Non-billable time — training, internal meetings, pro bono — is recorded for cost tracking without appearing on client invoices. Partners can see the full picture of how time is being spent, billable and otherwise.
Set rates by timekeeper and matter
Partners, associates, and paralegals bill at different rates. Set a default rate card per timekeeper and override it at the matter level for fixed-fee or agreed-rate engagements. Rate changes apply to new entries and do not silently revalue historical time.
Apply and replenish retainers
Record retainer payments, apply them against work in progress as invoices are raised, and alert fee earners when the retainer is running low so the client can top up before the balance hits zero.
Generate itemised invoices
At billing time, pull all unbilled time entries and disbursements for a matter into a draft invoice. Review the line items, adjust narratives, write up or write down individual entries, and issue the invoice as a PDF — all without leaving Law360.
Record payments and track aged debt
Mark invoices paid, record partial payments, and monitor the outstanding balance per matter and per client. Aged debt is visible at the firm level so credit control is proactive rather than chasing overdue invoices after the fact.
