Capture billable time accurately across every matter
Law firms lose revenue when time is captured late, inconsistently, or outside the systems used for billing. evergreen’s time application, part of the end user applications, allows lawyers and staff to record time directly from Microsoft Teams, web, or mobile so entries stay accurate and billing remains defensible.
Time gaps quietly reduce realization and slow billing
Most time leakage begins long before invoices are drafted. When lawyers rely on memory or disconnected tools, hours go unrecorded, approvals slow down, and finance struggles to maintain accurate billing data. These breakdowns typically appear as:
Billable work missed because time is entered late or not at all
Lawyers reconstructing time from memory instead of capturing it during work
Timesheets delayed while approvals circulate through email threads
Finance teams lacking reliable data to forecast billing and realization
Record, review, and submit time where lawyers already work
evergreen’s time application, one of evergreen’s end user applications, brings time capture directly into Microsoft Teams, web, and mobile so lawyers can log time without leaving their workflow. Every entry connects automatically to matters, billing rules, and financial data within evergreen.
This approach replaces fragmented tracking with a structured process that protects billing accuracy and improves realization.
- Capture time across calls, meetings, and tasks with intelligent suggestions
- Review and submit timesheets directly from Microsoft Teams, web, or mobile
- Connect time entries automatically to matters and billing records in evergreen
Protect realization with structured time capture and review
Accurate billing starts with consistent time capture. evergreen’s time application helps lawyers record work as it happens, review entries quickly, and ensure every billable minute flows into the billing process.
Protect billable time before it disappears
Lawyers often perform billable work between meetings, emails, and research tasks. The time application allows them to record those activities in real time so billable work does not disappear during busy days.
- Start timers when beginning work on a matter
- Capture passive time from Outlook and Microsoft Teams meetings
- Receive suggestions for missed entries based on recent activity
Enforce accurate time records before submission
Late or inconsistent entries often lead to corrections during billing review. Built-in reminders and validation checks help lawyers complete timesheets accurately before submission.
- Highlight missing time within the current submission period
- Surface incomplete entries before timesheets are finalized
- Guide users to submit timesheets on schedule
Accelerate timesheet review across the firm
Lawyers should not spend unnecessary time navigating timesheet systems. Flexible views make it easier to identify missing entries and finalize submissions quickly.
- Edit draft entries directly from one screen
- Review time using calendar or structured list views
- Monitor unlogged time through visual indicators
Tie recorded time directly to billing outcomes
Time capture should support the billing process instead of creating additional reconciliation work. Every entry recorded through the time application connects directly to the firm’s matter records and billing workflows in evergreen.
- Tag time entries to the correct matter and activity category
- Align time records with billing cycles and matter billing rules
- Improve realization visibility with connected financial insights
