Legal platform Legora and work intelligence firm Laurel have announced a partnership to automate the creation of lawyer timesheets. The integration will automatically convert activities performed within Legora into time entries, identifying client, matter, and work descriptions.
Why it matters
Law firms frequently lose revenue from short, unbillable administrative tasks that often go unrecorded. By automating time capture, firms can better account for billable hours and establish clearer metrics for the return on investment of their AI tools.
The integration pulls activity data from email, documents, and calls to populate timesheets within the Legora operating system. This mechanism seeks to eliminate the manual input of tasks currently required to account for professional service billings.
The players
Legora
An agentic operating system designed for legal work that supports over 130,000 professionals.
Laurel
A work intelligence platform that uses data from communications and documents to automate timesheet creation for professional services.
The details
Laurel functions as a work intelligence platform that continuously monitors activity across professional service workflows. By integrating with Legora, an agentic operating system—software that can independently perform tasks to achieve goals—Laurel will ingest records to generate detailed time entries. This process allows for granular tracking of billable time without requiring lawyers to manually document short-duration tasks.

The Tech Race
This partnership highlights a broader industry race to automate the administrative overhead associated with legal services. It positions the combined platforms as a challenge to manual time-tracking software by offering real-time, AI-derived logs of billable activity.
Legal professionals using both platforms will see automated time entries appear as their work occurs, reducing the need for end-of-day timesheet manual entry. Firms will receive details on availability as the rollout begins, with initial efforts focused on automated time capture.
The takeaway
The move underscores the growing priority for law firms to quantify AI-driven productivity gains through automated data collection. Legal teams should monitor for the forthcoming rollout timeline, which will dictate how quickly these automated metrics become available in their specific markets.
