Task Management For Lawyers

Billable Tasks

GoMatters task management system for lawyers allows you to bill tasks for time at hourly rates. Hourly rates can be customized for each matter and each lawyer, paralegal, legal secretary or other legal assistant. Completed billable tasks are automatically included in invoices to make your legal billing faster and more efficient.

Task Timer

Task management timer for lawyers

Time your billable tasks accurately with our task timer. Start, stop and pause the task timer to record time spent on a task and automatically apply task hourly rates to the completed task. Lawyers using GoMatters are often shocked at how much billable time they have lost in the past by estimating time spent on tasks instead of using a task timer. This one simple feature of our task management system for lawyers will help you capture so much more of your billable time than you were ever able to record before.

Delegate Tasks To Law Office Staff

Tasks can be delegated to any users in your law office. Lawyers can assign hourly tasks or tasks with no hourly component to legal secretaries, paralegals or law office interns with the click of a button.

Task Tracking

Lawyers or case administrators can track tasks that have been assigned to other members of your law firm. Task tracking with GoMatters lets you know what tasks are late or due and what users are responsible for those tasks. Task tracking lets you monitor your office productivity and make the most out of your law office staff.

Text Message Tasks To Users

Text message new tasks to lawyers or other law office personnel on the move from the GoMatters interface. Legal secretaries and paralegals back at the office can enter return phone call tasks to be completed and send you a text message to return the call to the client. Sending text messages of important tasks that need to be done right away is a great way to get the most out of your busy day.

Online Task Management For Lawyers

Did you know lawyers have an ethical duty to manage tasks efficiently? The American Bar Association’s Model Rules of Professional Conduct Rule 1.3 on Diligence states "A lawyer shall act with reasonable diligence and promptness in representing a client." Comment 2 on the rule says "A lawyer's work load must be controlled so that each matter can be handled competently." And Comment 3 on the model rule warns "Perhaps no professional shortcoming is more widely resented than procrastination."

Our online task management system for lawyers guards against procrastination by helping lawyers manage time wisely. GoMatters task management system was designed for lawyers, by lawyers who have used the same time management and task management techniques in their own successful law practices for years. Our online task management system for lawyers will help you become a more organized lawyer by making these same skills and time management techniques a part of your own daily law office task management routine.
