COR suggestion

The “Delta Merger” matter has used 92% of its budgeted hours. Review the scope before you keep billing.

Common challenges

What holds most
law firms back today

These challenges always end up in the same place: inaccurate billing and unhappy clients.

Daily time entry

Time entry is slow, done from memory, and by month-end nobody knows for sure what was worked on. Every other challenge hangs on this one: an hour that isn't recorded is a fee that doesn't exist.

Team overload

Attorneys are stretched to capacity and clients are threatening to move to the competition. Without an integrated view of the real workload, overload is only spotted once it has already hit.

What has been billed and what hasn't

Every month-end close turns into an internal debate. Finance chases the hours, partners rush to reconstruct them, and whatever was left out rarely makes it back in.

Overbilling and underbilling

Overbilling erodes client trust. Underbilling erodes your margin. Without a record of what was done on each matter, both happen and neither is caught in time.

Every partner with their own criteria

Each partner runs their portfolio as a business unit of their own. Time entry and billing criteria change from one practice area to the next, so reports can't be compared with each other.

The problem isn't billing too little. It's not knowing what went unbilled.

At a firm where the hour is the unit of sale, that number isn't administrative: it's the business.

10–15%

of billable hours are never captured

They're lost in manual time entry, before they ever reach an invoice.

Hourly fees vs. value-based fees

The data doesn't say you should stop billing by the hour. It says that with a flat fee, the risk of overruns shifts from the client to the firm, and to take on that risk you need to be able to price it. That requires profitability by matter.

Works alongside the system
your firm already uses

The system that holds your case files, deadlines and filings does its job well, and there's no need to replace it. COR answers a different question, the one that still gets answered in a separate spreadsheet today: which matter and which client generated margin. It integrates with what you already use. Your firm doesn't have to migrate anything to get started.

The COR solution

Connect hours, matters
and margins

COR connects hours, matters and margins in a single business view.

Automatic time tracking

COR records time worked quickly and easily, so your team doesn't have to reconstruct the day at the end of the week.

Communication in a single channel

A collaborative workspace for each practice area, with every conversation linked to the matter it belongs to.

Transparency with your clients

Explain where every rate comes from, show progress in real time and keep a clear, open method on every matter.

Profitability by matter and by lead partner

Hours by matter, by lead partner and by practice area, with the same criteria across the whole firm. Each partner sees the profitability of their own portfolio, and the firm sees a number that's comparable across practice areas.

Dashboards for partners and the management committee

Executive BI built for running the firm, not just for the team doing the work. Reports are no longer built: they're simply opened.

Hourly rates, retainers, flat fees and success fees

All four models are measured with the same logic. That's what lets you answer how much margin a retainer matter left, not just an hourly one — and what you need to set flat fees on solid ground.

Billable hours

Digitization and real-time
tracking are the key

Billable hours represent the total time spent on a specific legal matter. From intake, assessment, planning and execution through to its conclusion, those hours are billed to the client at an agreed hourly rate.

Understanding your billable hours isn't just about revenue: it's about the variables that define your firm's performance and profitability.

AI and attorney-client privilege

Matter information
never trains models

Zero Data Training with Anthropic and OpenAI, on a platform with SOC 2 and ISO certifications, and traceability over who accessed which information. Wanting to keep files inside the firm is a legitimate preference; the answer isn't to argue with it, but to show exactly how whatever leaves is safeguarded.

Agents

Every model, governed

Anthropic, OpenAI, Google and more, in one place. The model is chosen based on the task; the firm keeps traceability over all of them.

Eleven capabilities live today

Time capture from chat, profitability analysis and matter tracking, built on the data already in the platform.

Governance

AI doesn't decide on its own

Explicit approval for every critical action, configurable access per agent and a full history of every conversation.

Metrics

Impact measured by matter and by client

Every interaction is linked to a matter, a client and a user. That's the data that lets you back up a fee conversation with evidence.

The system suggests, the attorney confirms.

Suggested hours are calculated with rules based on activity already recorded, not with an AI model, and none of them becomes a logged hour on its own: it only becomes a real entry once the person accepts it. No hour reaches a client's invoice without someone having reviewed it.

The license
is the easy part

56% of professional services firms have already adopted AI. Only 24% have reached a real production rollout. The gap isn't software: it's data, processes and adoption. That's why implementation comes with hands-on support — it's the part that determines whether it works.

Frequently asked questions

Does COR work for a firm that bills by the hour?

Yes, it's built for exactly that. COR automates tracking of the hours worked and connects hours, matters and margins in a single business view, bringing together project management, profitability and artificial intelligence.

How does it solve daily time entry?

By automating it. Today, time entry is slow, done from memory, and by month-end nobody knows for sure what was worked on. Every other challenge hangs on this one: an hour that isn't recorded is a fee that doesn't exist.

Can I see profitability by matter?

Yes. Each matter shows the hours spent against the budget and the margin it generates, so you can review the scope before you keep billing work that no longer pays off.

How does it prevent overbilling and underbilling?

With a record of what was actually done on each matter. Overbilling erodes client trust and underbilling erodes your margin; without reliable time records both happen and neither is caught in time.

Does it help with team overload?

Yes. Without an integrated view of the real workload, overload is only spotted once it has already hit. COR shows each attorney's workload and capacity so you can rebalance before the team reaches its limit and clients move to the competition.
