Attorneys lose billable revenue every day — not because they didn't do the work, but because capturing and writing up every activity takes time they don't have. 2ndCounsel automatically reconstructs the billable day from calendar, email, and documents — and drafts the narratives for you.
Most law firms bill only 60–70% of the time they actually work. The remainder represents real, earned revenue simply waiting to be invoiced. Select your firm size to see the opportunity in your practice.
Emails drafted, meetings attended, documents reviewed — when every activity is captured from your calendar, inbox, and files, your team's real contribution is fully reflected in every invoice.
When you know exactly how long something took, you bill accurately and with confidence. Precision protects both your revenue and your client relationships.
Paralegal time is among the most underbilled revenue in any firm. 2ndCounsel reconstructs their day from calendar events, emails, and document activity — the same way it does for attorneys — so their time reaches the invoice too.
Recovering $86,000 this year means recovering it next year, and the year after. Once your billing is complete, it stays complete — and the returns are permanent.
Without an additional hour of work. Existing effort, properly captured and invoiced.
Accurate, professional billing descriptions improve client acceptance and reduce write-downs.
Time previously spent on billing administration returned to client work — or your personal life.
2ndCounsel handles the billing workload of an additional team member at a fraction of the cost.
Review prepared entries each morning. Edit anything you like. Approve and move on.
Attorneys and paralegals alike. Every billable activity, across your entire team, every day.
You do not need to change how you work. 2ndCounsel adapts to your practice — attorneys and paralegals alike — from day one.
Every billable activity across your attorneys and paralegals is recorded and organised — calls, documents, correspondence, and research. Nothing is missed.
Each morning, polished billing entries are ready — with time, matter code, and a professional description already written for every member of your team.
Review, edit if you like, and approve. Entries sync directly to your billing system. Every hour your team worked reaches the invoice — every year, a very significant number.
This is not new work — it is existing work, properly captured and invoiced. Most firms see a meaningful increase within the first billing cycle.
Paralegal time is among the most underutilised revenue in any practice. 2ndCounsel captures and bills it all — the complete team, not just partners.
Every entry is clearly worded, accurately reflects the work performed, and meets the standards your clients expect — without anyone writing them manually.
Attorney-client privilege is fundamental. 2ndCounsel is designed from the ground up to meet the full confidentiality requirements of legal practice.
Connects to Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace to read your calendar, email, and documents. Draft entries export to your existing billing platform — your workflow stays exactly as it is, just more complete.
Recovering $86,000 this year means recovering it next year, and every year after. Complete billing, once established, stays that way.
Adjust to match your practice. These are conservative estimates — most firms report higher figures in the first year.
Paralegal billing rate estimated at 50% of attorney rate. Based on 120 billable hours/month per attorney, 100 hours/month per paralegal.
Most founding members recover the full annual subscription cost within their first two weeks of use.
$3,588/year total. $1,000 setup fee waived. No lock-in. Cancel anytime.
