A workflow created for law firms: recording billable work, tracking matters, reviewing and invoicing.
Billable work
Record work as the day progresses.
Calendar, line, table, timer or import: every lawyer can choose how to enter time. The details feed both invoices and analysis.
- Client, matter, activity type, duration and description
- Billable and non-billable time
- Rates specific to the staff member, task or matter
- Completeness checks and history
Matters & deadlines
Manage meetings, hearings and deadlines in a shared timeline.
Each matter brings together completed actions, next steps, documents and the firm's reminders.
- Completed actions and next steps
- Documents attached to clients, matters or events
- Kanban board and shared calendar
- Individual or group reminders
Expenses & disbursements
Allocate every cost to the matter and apply the firm's chosen treatment.
Client disbursements
Keep disbursements separate from other expenses and prepare their recovery according to the firm's rules.
OCR and review
Photograph the receipt, prefill the data, connect it to the matter and send it for approval.
Controlled invoicing
Prepare, review and then issue your invoices.
Preparation pulls through time, expenses, disbursements, fixed fees, retainers and budgets. The person in charge reviews lines, amounts, template and matter before issue.
- Time-based, fixed-fee, deposit or subscription invoices
- Descriptions and amounts can be adjusted during preparation
- Detailed work schedules and custom templates
- Factur-X, payments, reminders and accounting exports

Frequently asked questions
Before the demo.
Is Tempolia suitable for a sole practitioner?
Yes. Corporate costs €29 excluding VAT per month for a sole practitioner who tracks time and expenses, together with the related checks and analysis. Expert costs €49 excluding VAT per month and adds matters, invoicing, payments and reminders. The choice therefore depends on the cycle managed in Tempolia, not only the number of users.
Can we bill both time and fixed fees?
Yes. Invoice preparation can combine time-based work, fixed fees, subscriptions, deposits, expenses, disbursements or budgets according to the matter’s rules. Rates by staff member, task or matter and line descriptions remain reviewable before approval, allowing the invoice to follow the agreement without re-entering completed work.
Can expenses and disbursements be kept separate?
Yes. Separate categories, supporting documents and rules distinguish firm expenses from client disbursements as soon as they are entered. Each item remains linked to the matter and its approval workflow, then can be reimbursed or included in the invoice according to the treatment defined by the firm.
Can invoices be approved before issue?
Yes. The invoice remains at a preparation stage where the manager can review the customer, matter, activities, expenses, amounts, template and descriptions. Corrections are made before approval and final issue, retaining a human control point between the work recorded and the document sent.
Can the profitability of each matter be tracked?
Yes. Tempolia compares valued time, expenses, invoiced fees, payments and balances to analyse profitability by matter. Partners can also examine capacity, non-billable time, receivables and reminder history by lawyer or team to identify matters that need attention.
References and testimonials
Feedback focused on billable work, disbursements and time savings.
Long-standing testimonials mainly highlight fewer missed billable items and the availability of support.
“Tempolia has made my life so much easier and saved me a great deal of time in organising our work. Previously, we had to collate each lawyer's time, recheck matters and use sticky notes for disbursements. Since using Tempolia, the risk of overlooking fees or disbursements has fallen considerably.”
“I have been with Tempolia almost since it began. The software is reliable and provides cross-analysis of work and schedules. The team is available, and I have always received a solution or been pointed in the right direction within the day.”
