Just to say that I am continuing to find this an excellent product. It undoubtedly improves my billing, by which I mean both that I am more efficient at providing times for the clerks and that I avoid missing work I have done. Richard Hitchcock QC - OuterTemple Chambers
It is an excellent product and still improving, which is even better. Pensions Specialist
Just to say that I found this invaluable. QC
I cannot believe the extent to which I have been underbilling and the pleasure of being able to deal with my clerks queries on fees in two minutes rather than searching through piles of emails. Leading Junior
Simple to use, it has made it so much easier properly to record times and work to targets. Andrew Short QC

Compared to some rival software Barristertime is great value, and tries to make time recording a pleasure, rather than a chore.

Controlled by you

We recognise that barristers are in charge of their practices and our software is build around that idea. Our systems are designed with you in mind, rather than as a management tool for controlling the work done by employees. We hope that Barristertime will increase your billing, and make you feel good about the time you spend working.

Our goal is to provide high-quality, fairly priced services to barristers. As a small high earning profession, barristers are being overcharged for their IT services. We believe that good quality, bespoke software shouldn't be high priced. Unlike our rivals our prices are published and aren't hidden away in your chambers percentage.
