Startup Idea: Automated Legal Billing Software

Startup idea to design a fully integrated automated billing system tailored for practicing attorneys. The system intends to capture time logged on every task completed through standard computer programs, thereby making the billing process more efficient and accurate.

I work in Law in the U.S. A lawyer’s life is valued by the billable hour, and their lives are measured in .1 increments. One of the largest struggles for any practicing attorney is capturing their time and billing for the work they perform. I see an opportunity for a billing program that integrates with all your standard computer programs with the goal of capturing, and billing for, every task completed. Either a macro or overlay on Word, or PDF, or Outlook that’s assists in billing for every document reviewed or drafted or prepared.
