To what degree do lawyers actually want to track their time accurately?

I used to work a timesheet intensive job (consulting). The quiet rule was log the minimum 45h/w if you like your engagement; log your actual hours if you hate it.

When my lawyer bills me 1 hour, I know it doesn’t actually take him 1 hour. That’s just his rate. This has been my general experience with small shops. Do bigger firms pay closer attention to detail?

Based on our conversations, yeah - many want to increase the accuracy of their timesheets. For some, this is the main driver of adoption. For many, it's the time savings from cutting out manual timekeeping.

Even for firms/attorneys that are not super detail-oriented, the software would offer a log of their work as a basis for their bills.
