Time59 is an application that legal professionals can use to quickly, easily and effectively track their time, billing and invoicing. For example, users of Time59 can track their time for multiple timekeepers (i.e. one's paralegal, themselves, or anyone else who does work for the client). The application also makes it simple to manageable billable activities for all of their clients. Time59 makes invoicing simple, and handles all taxes, late fees and discounts. The application can also make it simple to email the invoices to the clients as a .PDF. Users of Time59 are always up to date on who owes them money and having a full set of reports available to them at any time. Time59 can also generate complicated LEDES invoices for its users as well. Time59 can also help solo legal professionals to manage trusts as well and to stay in compliance with all legislation. For example, the system maintains the following trust reports at all times: Trust Balance List, Trust Deposit List, Trust Disbursement List and Trust Ledger. Finally, Time59 is not only available on the web, but also there are mobile versions of the application so users can access the app from their iPhone or Android device.

Time59 isn't a full version of accounting software. Rather this application is a project, time and invoicing solution with a bit of expense management mixed in. The application is easy to use and not complicated at all. Since it is web-based it is also accessible and users can also view the application while they are on the go through their iPhone or Android device.

The design of Time59 is very straightforward and easy to use. There is not fluff here, and nothing where non-computer-savvy professionals can get "lost" in. Time59 runs very fast and overall the site's theme and design is very clean and functional.
