Works with
TIQ Time implementation
Any legal tech implementation may fail due to poor user adoption, inadequate training, and lack of proper integration. Generally, if a legal technology product isn't user-friendly or well-integrated with other tools, or if its benefits aren't clear, users may resist adopting it and continue using familiar, less efficient methods.
TIQ Time provides a flexible user friendly time tracking platform enabling law firms to maximise billing capabilities, achieve success and recognise a clear ROI.

Time tracking resources
What is the best way to track billable hours?
The best way to track billable hours is to use TIQ Time, an automated time-tracking tool that captures time spent on tasks like emails, meetings, and document review. TIQ Time integrates with existing software, minimises manual entry, and generates detailed, customisable reports that align with client billing guidelines, enhancing accuracy, compliance, and transparency while reducing administrative burdens.
How to calculate billable hours?
To calculate billable hours, start by multiplying the time worked by your hourly rate. However, complications can arise with varying client fees, diverse team rates, and different billing structures. TIQ Time simplifies this process by automatically tracking time spent on tasks and generating customisable reports that account for different rates, client agreements, and team member billing variations, ensuring accurate and efficient billing for all work performed.
