Time59

Time59 is web-based time and billing software written for solo lawyers and small firms. It has been available since 2006 and runs in a browser on Mac, PC, iPad, iPhone and Android devices, so nothing needs installing and updates arrive automatically.

What Time59 offers

• Time and expense tracking — billable entries that pass straight into invoices without retyping.
• Invoicing — invoices calculated automatically, including hourly and fixed fee billing and LEDES format.
• Trust accounting — the trust account handling small firms need.
• Accounts receivable — balances updated whenever an invoice is issued or a payment recorded, showing who owes what.
• Support — help by phone and email.

Who it works with

Solo attorneys and small firms who have outgrown spreadsheet billing but do not want a heavy practice management system. Pricing covers the whole firm rather than individual users.
