Internal tools for law firms.
Prized builds internal tools from a plain language description: matter boards, retainer burn, WIP and AR views your billing partner will actually open. Start from a working template and prompt it to match your practice areas and billing rules.
Law Firm Matter & Billable Hours Tracker
Matters by stage with billable hours by attorney, unbilled WIP, and retainer balances.
Retainer Burn Tracker
Know how much of each client retainer is used before the month runs out.
Invoice & AR Aging Tracker
Log invoices, watch 30, 60, and 90 day aging buckets, and get a collections call list.
Agency Utilization Dashboard
See billable utilization by person and team, and catch under-booked weeks early.
Project Profitability Tracker
See margin and effective hourly rate for every client engagement.
Employee Timesheet Tracker
Weekly time entry against jobs and projects, with approvals and overtime flags.
Hiring Funnel Tracker
See every candidate by stage and spot where your hiring pipeline leaks.
Small and mid-size firms run on practice management and billing software, plus the spreadsheets partners actually read: the matter list, the unbilled WIP export someone circulates monthly, the trust and retainer balance sheet, and the AR aging a partner scans before making collection calls nobody enjoys. The numbers underneath are billable hours against target, realization and collection rates, WIP older than 90 days, and which retainers are about to go negative.
The monthly-export rhythm is the problem. The WIP report is stale the day after it circulates, so write-downs get discovered at billing time instead of prevented during the work. Retainers run dry mid-matter and the work continues unbilled because nobody was watching the balance. Utilization gets computed at review time, months after the under-booked associate could have been redirected. The matter list records a stage but not whether anything has moved in three weeks.
The matter tracker template keeps matters by stage with hours by attorney, unbilled WIP, and retainer balances in one live view instead of a monthly snapshot. The retainer burn tool flags depletion before the month ends, not after. The AR tracker keeps aging buckets current with a follow-up list, and the utilization dashboard shows under-booked weeks while there is still time to fill them. These are working examples with sample matters in them: open one, then prompt it to use your practice-area stages, add a conflicts-check field, or split rates by attorney class. No code, and nothing for your IT vendor to install.
Common questions
Can we bring in matter and time data from our existing billing system?
Yes, by export. Templates open with sample matters so you can evaluate the workflow without touching client data. When you start from one, upload CSV exports of matters, time entries, or AR and prompt the tool to match your fields. Live integrations come after the tool fits your practice; a weekly export is a fine starting rhythm.
What is the real effort for a firm with no technical staff?
Describing changes in plain English is the whole workflow: the same way you would mark up an associate's draft, you tell the tool what to change and it rebuilds. Prized hosts the tool and handles access, so there is no server, no deployment, and no maintenance burden on the firm.
Our billing differs by practice area: hourly litigation, flat-fee immigration, contingency PI. Can one tool reflect that?
Yes. Start from the matter tracker and describe each arrangement; the tool can track hourly WIP on some matters, flat-fee milestones on others, and expected contingency values on the rest. Templates are starting points, and this kind of restructuring is done by prompting, not by a developer.
The tool you actually need is one description away.
Start from a template above or from a blank page: either way, you describe it and Prized builds it.
