Time and task management for barristers.
Track work by matter, create email reminders, manage billing state clearly, and send clerk-ready summaries — without spreadsheet chaos.
Time recording at the Bar shouldn't be this hard.
Time slips away
Scattered notes, memory, and retrospective guesswork cost barristers billable time every week. Without structure, entries go unrecorded — and unbilled.
Billing gets messy
It's hard to know what's been sent to the clerk, what's billed, and what's still outstanding — especially across multiple active matters.
Sensitive matters need protection
Not every user should have access to every matter. Maintaining confidentiality requires deliberate controls.
Every tool you need. Nothing you don't.
Matter-first time recording
Every entry is attached to a specific matter. Log time in seconds — duration, notes, and date — so nothing slips through.
Billed and unbilled control
Mark entries as billed when work is sent to the clerk. Unbilled entries remain visible until accounted for.
Send-to-clerk workflow
Select entries, review the totals, and dispatch a structured summary to your clerk — no manual compilation, no spreadsheet.
Protected matter access
Sensitive matters are private by default. No one can see any of your matters unless you grant them access.
Dormancy awareness
Set dormancy thresholds as your default, and override per matter where needed.
From log to clerk in four clear steps.
Log time against a matter
Open Bar Time, select a matter, and record your time. Notes, duration, and date — captured in seconds from wherever you are.
Review your billing position
See at a glance which entries are billed, unbilled, or pending. Adjust entries and billing state before anything goes to your clerk.
Send a summary to your clerk
Select the entries you want to send, review the totals, and dispatch a structured summary directly from Bar Time. No manual compilation.
Protected matters stay protected
No one can see any of your matters unless you grant read-only access. You can also mark matters as protected so they remain hidden even from your own read-only users.
Access control and audit confidence, by design.
Role-based access
Assign roles and read-only access so each person sees only what you allow.
Protected matters
Sensitive matters are locked down at the matter level. Protected matters can be hidden even from your own read-only users.
Audit-aware workflows
Protected matter access is audit-logged so you always know who viewed what and when.
