Plani: the billing assistant for busy lawyers

You hate billing, so Plani does it for you.

Text Plani your time as you work. It sorts every hour by client into CPCS and CJA categories, then enters it into CPCS eBill for you.

The first time Plani synced Victoria Kelleher's CPCS billing, it found six hours she'd worked and never billed.

"Plani has dramatically lightened my load. Not just time-wise, it's relieved me of the stress of billing."

I just used Plani to do my June billing and it cut down my billing time by an entire workday.

I've been inspired to actually do my billing!

New

Or let Plani put it into CPCS eBill for you. Connect eBill once and Plani logs in like a bookkeeper you hired, enters your time in the right categories, and stages every entry. You review and hit submit. Plani never submits for you.

Built around how you actually capture time.

i.

Capture as you go

Between calls, in the elevator, walking out of court. Plani parses the duration, the client name, and the work, and fills in the start and end times so they're never missing.

ii.

Roster matching

You name the clients once. Plani matches your shorthand ("smyth" → Marcus Smith), flags ambiguous entries to a NEEDS REVIEW section, and never silently picks the wrong one.

iii.

Sunday email

Every Sunday morning, you get the week grouped by client in a spreadsheet, with every receipt photo or screenshot you texted in attached, laid out in the CPCS and CJA billing categories.

She also handles the rest of your office.

Calendar

Drop court dates, client meetings, and deadlines on the calendar by text. Plani figures out the date, time, and who needs to know.

Reminders

Filing deadlines, callbacks, court appearances. Plani pings you the morning of, the night before, or whenever you want.

Notes between meetings

Capture a passing thought ("follow up with Smith on discovery") and Plani surfaces it when it matters.

We hate billing too, which is why we built this

As a consultant I used to track my own time, so I know what a pain it is.

Bill the time you actually work.
