The Best Legal Software for Mac
For over 20 years, TimeNet Law has been relentlessly designed, refined and fine-tuned to handle everything you need to run your law practice on the Mac platform.
Legal software built exclusively for Mac
Web apps are clunky, resource intensive, require a fast, constant internet connection, and often don't integrate well with the rest of your computer. TimeNet Law is different - it's the only native Mac application with all the features you need to manage your law firm quickly and easily.
Time tracking and billing designed for your law firm
TimeNet Law has been built around the feedback and real use cases of thousands of lawyers just like you. We pioneered the idea of time tracking and billing software that is actually fun and easy to use. TimeNet Law was the first legal billing solution to offer One Click Billing, and over the years we've continued to lead the legal software industry in features and design.
All the features your law firm needs - highly integrated

Launchpad pulls everything together, giving you one simple view to see your week, day, and important upcoming events.

Track Origination
Every client and matter can assign origination to timekeepers. This allows you to easily track origination and revenue allocation for clients brought in by your partners.
Matter Linking
Link two matters together and any changes made to one matter will be automatically carried over to the linked matter. This allows matters to mirror each other for advanced split billing or other unique billing requirements.
Matter Blueprints
Once you create a matter and get it dialed in just right, you may find that you need to create more similar matters. Save any matter as a blueprint and select a blueprint when making new matters.
