Maximize firm revenue with modern timekeeping
Maximize firm revenue with modern timekeeping
How modern billing practices drive revenue and client confidence
In an industry where every billable moment matters,
modernizing your timekeeping solution isn’t just a tech upgrade — it’s essential to productivity, profitability, and competitive edge. Firms that cling to legacy tools can lose billable hours, leak revenue, damage client relationships, and lose top talent.
This guide shows why effective timekeeping is critical, and where revenue leaks occur with outdated software. And it demonstrates how Intapp’s compliant time and billing solution — powered by Intapp Time, Billstream, and Terms — helps firms maximize revenue, delight
lawyers, and exceed client expectations.

Why now?
Market pressure + mindset shift.
Client loyalty is falling
Buyers are rewarding firms that are fast, transparent, and disciplined on billing.
Cloud is mainstream
And AI is here to stay. 85% of firms are mostly in the cloud, or moving there with each upgrade.
Lawyer attrition is rising is mainstream
Job satisfaction hit a 5-year low this year,
and administrative burden is a key contributor
to burnout.
Modernization is no longer optional.
Now, it’s the operating standard. Firms that wait will face compounding, avoidable losses — including missed hours, write-downs, rejections, and delayed cash.

Where revenue leaks
(and what it costs)
Unreported /late times
End of day entry loses 10-15% of billable hours, and end of week entry loses ~25%.
Write-downs at pre-bill
Manual fixes late in the process erode realization.
E-bill rejections
OCG noncompliance triggers disputes and weakens client relationships.
Month-end bottlenecks
Disconnected workflows and lack of transparency hold up billing and slow your cash cycles.

The cost of inaction
For many firms, the real expense isn’t the software they use — it’s the time they lose.
Every billing cycle you delay modernizing is a month with preventable revenue loss.
1-2 missed hours
per lawyer per month
at blended rates
quickly becomes
$60k-$120k per month in lost revenue
for a 100-lawyer firm, before factoring in write-offs + rejections.
