Turning legal task work into client bills

Prepare client-ready legal time

Use ClickUp for the legal tasks your team already works from, then use Everhour to track the time, billing status, rates, budgets, timesheets, and reports attached to that work. The goal is a billing record that a reviewer can check before invoice preparation, with client-chargeable work separated from internal or written-down time.

Each time entry needs the person who did the work, the task context, the date, the time spent, the billing status, and a clear description. Non-billable time still belongs in the record because it explains total effort, write-downs, internal review, and profitability without adding those hours to the client invoice.

Apply the right billing rate

Legal work often needs more than one rate. A partner review, associate research task, and paralegal filing task can each need a different pricing rule, even when they support the same client engagement. Everhour separates internal cost rates from client-facing billable rates, then lets teams price work by project, member, or custom task rate.

Rate timing matters when a client agreement changes during active work. Everhour can apply rate changes from a chosen date, so older entries keep their original calculation while later entries use the new rate. That protects the billing period from quiet recalculation and gives the billing reviewer a clear reason for any rate shift.

Keep billable status defensible

A law firm should mark billable and non-billable work before invoice review. Billable entries are the client-chargeable work. Non-billable entries cover internal administration, training, corrections, relationship management, or other work the firm tracks but does not charge under the engagement terms.

A defensible client-facing record uses consistent descriptions and avoids vague entries. "Contract review for vendor indemnity clause" gives a reviewer more context than "review documents." Task-level controls also matter. Within a billable project, Everhour can mark a specific task non-billable so that entry stays visible in reports but does not inflate the invoice total.

Move beyond manual billing totals

A one-off billing tally works for a short engagement with a few entries, one rate, and no review step. It stops working when several people touch the work, rates vary by role, non-billable work needs to stay visible, or the billing partner needs corrections before the invoice is prepared.

Everhour gives legal teams a managed workflow: time tracked from ClickUp tasks, billable settings and rates applied in Everhour, timesheets reviewed before billing, and billable hours carried into invoice preparation without re-keying. Reports can show billable time, non-billable time, billable amount, and cost by member or task.

Frequently Asked Questions

How should a lawyer split mixed legal and admin work?

Split the entry before billing review when one work session includes client-chargeable legal work and internal administration. The chargeable portion should follow the engagement terms, and the internal portion should remain non-billable. Combining both under one billed entry makes the client record harder to defend and hides the firm's true internal cost.

Which rate should apply when two lawyers work on one ClickUp task?

Use the rate rule tied to the person or work type, not the shared task alone. If the engagement prices each lawyer differently, member-based rates keep the billing amount aligned with who performed the work. If the work type controls the fee, a custom task rate gives the reviewer a cleaner rule.

How should corrected legal time be handled before invoicing?

Correct the time entry before it becomes part of the invoice record. The billing reviewer should look for inflated durations, missing descriptions, duplicate entries, and work assigned to the wrong billing status. Corrections made after invoice preparation create reconciliation work and increase the risk of charging the same time twice.

Which time entries should be excluded from a legal invoice batch?

Exclude entries that the engagement does not permit the firm to bill, entries still waiting for review, and entries with unclear descriptions. Time that belongs to another client, another billing period, or a different matter should stay out of the invoice batch until the billing context is corrected.

Why should written-down legal time stay visible?

Written-down time shows the gap between total effort and the amount charged to the client. Removing it from the record makes staffing, margin, and matter profitability harder to understand. Keeping it as non-billable preserves the history without adding those hours to the invoice total.

How does Everhour handle lawyer billing rates on ClickUp work?

Everhour separates cost and billable rates, supports default per-person rates and per-project overrides, and can price billable work by project, member, or custom task rate. Dated rate changes keep older legal work tied to the rate that applied when the time was recorded.

How does Everhour support invoice preparation for legal work?

Everhour can generate invoices from uninvoiced billable time and expenses, calculate amounts from rates and tracked time, and exclude non-billable tasks. Invoice line items can be grouped by structures such as project, task, person, or date, depending on what the client expects.
