Most law firms save between $25,000 and $150,000 annually depending on firm size. A solo practitioner typically saves $25,000-$35,000/year, while a 10-attorney firm can save over $100,000/year through captured billable time and reduced overhead.

Question 2

What is the ROI of automated time tracking for law firms?

Accepted Answer

Law firms using Tempello see an average ROI of 1,500%. At just $0.49 per matched email, the typical attorney's cost works out to $59–$79/month based on actual matter-related email volume — far less than the $50,000+ per attorney per year in recovered billable time.

Question 3

Tempello analyzes email metadata, content length, complexity, and your firm's billing preferences to assign appropriate time increments. It matches emails to client matters using contact matching, thread analysis, and subject line parsing for accurate billing.

Question 4

Can I customize billing rates in the ROI calculator?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the calculator lets you input your firm's specific billing rate and number of attorneys to generate personalized savings estimates based on your practice's actual metrics.
