The challenge

Your time is valuable. Recording it should be effortless.

Legal practice rarely happens in neat, uninterrupted blocks. A court appearance runs into a client call, a quick email becomes a drafting session, and the day ends with several matters touched but not all of them recorded.

  • Switching between matters

    Moving from one file to the next makes it easy to lose track of where the time went.

  • Short consultations slip away

    Brief calls, quick advice and short emails are the entries most easily forgotten.

  • Month-end pressure

    Reconstructing a month of work from diaries, emails and memory makes invoicing slow and stressful.

LexIA is being designed to simplify all of this. Capture work as it happens by speaking, typing or starting a timer, keep every entry linked to the right matter, and move to invoicing with less administration.

How it works

From work done to time captured.

  1. Open or select a matter.

    Choose an existing matter or open a new one with guided set-up.

  2. Speak, type or start a timer.

    Describe the work in your own words, or let a timer run while you work.

  3. Review and confirm your billing entry.

    You stay in control: nothing is billed until you have reviewed it.

  4. Prepare and export your invoice.

    Bring confirmed entries together into a matter invoice and export a PDF.

Security and confidentiality

Designed with legal confidentiality in mind.

Attorneys and advocates hold information that must stay confidential. LexIA’s architecture is being designed around that duty from the start. Below is an honest picture of where each safeguard stands today.

  • Practitioner-controlled storage

    The intended architecture gives practitioners control over where their practice data is stored.

    Planned

  • Encrypted backups

    Backups are intended to be encrypted so that stored copies of practice data are protected.

    Planned

  • Confidentiality safeguards

    Signed-in access to a practitioner’s own records and encryption of selected client-identifying matter details are being built into the app.

    In development

  • Data recovery principles

    A practitioner-held recovery process is being designed so that encrypted information can be restored by the right person, and only by them.
