Legal project management software for law firms

Keep each matter's tasks, deadlines and billable hours together. Assign the work and give clients access to the matters you choose to share.

Legal matters run as projects in Breeze

Law firms and legal teams use Breeze to keep matters, deadlines and billable hours in one place.

Is your firm's project management spread across email, one calendar and a spreadsheet?

  • X Filing deadlines sit in one partner's calendar and nobody else can see them
  • X Billable hours rebuilt from memory on Friday afternoon
  • X Matter updates scattered across email, calendars and spreadsheets

Manage the work of each matter in Breeze, with deadlines and tracked time alongside the tasks.

Manage matters, deadlines and billable time

Matters as projects

Organise each matter on its own project board

Use lists such as intake, discovery, drafting, filing and closing to show where a matter stands. Keep the owner, dates, files and discussion on each task, and copy an existing project when you need the same structure again.

Deadlines and calendars

Court dates and filing deadlines the whole firm can see

See dated tasks on a shared calendar by month, week or day. Update a hearing date on the calendar and the task changes with it. Subscribe from Outlook, Google Calendar or Apple Calendar to see those deadlines alongside your other appointments.

Time tracking per matter

Track billable time on the matter it belongs to

Start a timer on a task or add the hours afterwards. Each entry stays with its matter and can be marked billable or non-billable. Review the time by matter or person before passing it to your billing system.

Client access

Let clients follow their matter without seeing anyone else's

Invite clients to selected matters, where they can read updates, comment and upload files. Hidden tasks and internal comments stay internal.

You can also share a task or report through a no-login link. Treat that link as access to the information it shows, and turn off task sharing when it is no longer needed.

Billing from tracked time

Turn tracked hours into an invoice-ready report

Review billable and non-billable time by matter or person, then export the report to CSV or send entries to FreshBooks. Set an hourly rate and budget for each matter to compare tracked time with the plan. Your billing system creates the invoice.

What Breeze does not do for law firms

  • X Trust accounting and IOLTA: client funds stay in your accounting or practice management system
  • X Conflict checks at intake: there is no conflicts database to search
  • X LEDES e-billing and UTBMS codes: the export is CSV or FreshBooks, not LEDES
  • X A document management system: files attach to tasks or link from Google Drive, Dropbox, Box and OneDrive, where their versions and permissions stay

Who it fits: solo practitioners and small firms that bill by the hour and want matters, deadlines and time in one simple tool. If you need trust accounting or LEDES invoices, keep practice management software for those and run the matters themselves in Breeze.

What a law practice says about Breeze

Breeze is easy to use, has a good balance of features, and can be customized to your industry. I especially enjoy the clean and simple interface. The price is very fair.

Common questions from law firms

Does Breeze create invoices?

v

No. Breeze tracks the time and produces the report; the invoice comes from your billing system. Export any time report to CSV, or send the time entries to FreshBooks and invoice from there. If your firm already tracks time in Harvest, Breeze can start the Harvest timer from its task cards instead of its own.

What does Breeze cost for a law firm?

v

$9 per user per month billed yearly, or $10 billed monthly, with every feature included: project management, time tracking, calendars and reports. Start with a 14-day free trial, no credit card required.
