Overview

TimeSolv is a dedicated legal time and billing platform built for firms that bill under LEDES electronic billing requirements — insurance defense, corporate boutiques, and any practice where clients submit billing under ABA task code guidelines. At $43.95/user/month (1-4 users), it includes LEDES 1998B format, ABA task codes, split billing, offline time entry, and budget management — all at a lower price than Clio's LEDES-tier. It covers trust accounting but is not a case management system: there's no document management, client portal, or intake. Firms that need billing precision and LEDES compliance without paying for full PM features use TimeSolv alongside a separate tool. 30-day free trial available. TimeSolv is particularly well-suited for insurance defense firms billing under billing guidelines and LEDES requirements, where precision and task code compliance are non-negotiable. Its offline time entry mode — via the desktop app or mobile — means attorneys can track time without an internet connection, with sync occurring when connectivity resumes. For firms that need dedicated billing precision without the overhead of a full practice management suite, TimeSolv consistently outperforms on LEDES compliance at a lower price point than LEDES-capable tiers of competing platforms.

Key features

LEDES Billing

LEDES 1998B format included at all tiers — the electronic billing standard required by insurance companies and corporate legal departments. No add-on or premium tier required.

ABA Task Code Support

Full UTBMS task code library ships standard. Assign task codes on time entries for categorized billing that meets corporate and insurance billing guidelines.

Offline Time Entry

Desktop and mobile apps work without internet; entries sync when connectivity returns. Essential for attorneys billing in court or while traveling.

Budget Management

Set matter budgets with threshold alerts and real-time client-facing budget tracking. Critical for corporate matters under billing caps.

Split Billing

Apportion billing across multiple clients on a single matter natively — handles joint matters, co-defendants, or divided billing arrangements without workarounds.

Trust Accounting

IOLTA trust accounting with client ledgers and three-way reconciliation. Meets state bar compliance requirements for most US jurisdictions.
