Case Study: Bernstein Shur achieves contemporaneous time entry with Aderant iTimekeep

How Attorneys at Bernstein Shur Became Rockstar Timekeepers

Bernstein Shur, a law firm, struggled with inaccurate and delayed attorney time entry because partners were reconstructing time from notes, calendars, and email at the end of the week. This led to underbilling, time leakage, wasted staff follow-up, and limited visibility into financial performance and client value. The firm turned to Aderant’s iTimekeep to make contemporaneous time entry easier for attorneys on the move.

With Aderant’s iTimekeep, Bernstein Shur implemented a simple mobile timekeeping tool that required only a brief training session and fit the way attorneys actually work. The results were substantial: average time velocity dropped from more than three days to 0.7 days, contemporaneous timecards increased from 30% to 86%, and attorneys saved about one hour per day plus roughly two hours per week previously spent reconstructing time.
