Client Spotlight: Martin Kravchenko, Legal Tech Expert & Clio Certified Consultant
As law firms increasingly look for ways to streamline administrative work and maximize billable hours, the need for intelligent automation tools has never been greater. Legal tech consultant Martin Kravchenko—a Clio Certified Consultant and trusted voice in the legal tech space—recently reviewed Tempello, an AI-driven email billing automation tool, and shared his thoughts on its performance, value, and real-world application for law firms.
Challenge: Time Lost to Manual Email Logging
For many firms using Clio Manage, logging emails and creating time entries is a manual, repetitive, and error-prone process. Lawyers and staff often forget to track short communications or must spend hours combing through inboxes to match emails to cases. This leads to:
- Missed billable time
- Reduced productivity
- Inconsistent client billing
Solution: Automating Email Logging with Tempello
Tempello eliminates these inefficiencies by automating the process of matching emails to the correct client and matter in Clio. Once integrated, it:
- Processes both incoming and outgoing emails
- Automatically links emails to clients, matters, and related contacts (e.g., spouses or family members)
- Uses AI to generate descriptive time entries
- Handles multi-attorney email threads accurately
- Provides a centralized admin dashboard for firm-wide oversight
Setup is simple: firms create an email forwarding rule in Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace that routes messages to Tempello. From there, the system goes to work analyzing, matching, and logging emails automatically.
Results: Time Savings, Accuracy, and Ease of Use
Kravchenko emphasized several key benefits of using Tempello:
1. Significant Time Savings
Manual email logging becomes a thing of the past. Attorneys can focus on legal work while the system handles administrative tasks in the background.
2. Improved Billing Accuracy
With Tempello catching every billable email—even short exchanges that often get overlooked—firms can recover more time and bill more accurately.
3. AI-Generated Time Descriptions
Tempello generates intelligent, context-aware time entries, eliminating the need to manually write descriptions.
4. User-Friendly Dashboard
