Tricostar Secures Exclusive UK Partnership with Billables AI to Revolutionise Time Recording for Law Firms
What if you never had to time record again?
Tricostar are proud to announce a UK-exclusive partnership with Billables AI, bringing the first hands-free, AI-driven time recording solution to the UK legal market. This collaboration is set to redefine time tracking for law firms, tackling the persistent challenge of lost billable hours and administrative inefficiencies with an automated, passive solution.
The Next Evolution in Legal Time Tracking
Legal professionals face constant pressure to maximise billable time while minimising administrative overhead. Traditional time tracking relies on manual entry, leading to missed hours, delayed billing, and compliance risks. Billables AI eliminates these issues by capturing every billable moment in real-time, integrating seamlessly with Microsoft 365 applications such as Word, Excel, Outlook, Edge, Chrome, and Google Workspace through cloud-based integrations, plus Adobe PDF.
Unlike other solutions, Billables AI operates across multiple platforms, ensuring that fee earners can work without disruption. The technology has already gained traction in the US, with, out-the-box integrations for Clio and other Practice Management Systems in the works. Through Tricostar, UK law firms will be the first to access this game-changing AI-powered tool, which can be integrated into any existing PMS.
James Lawler, Managing Director of Tricostar said:
“I’m delighted to have partnered with Billables.AI in this market-leading AI product for time recording. In 1988 Tricostar launched its business with an innovative time recording system for the legal market. Our experience in the time recording market over 37 years left us in no doubt that AI-driven time recording will be a game changer for legal firms in the UK.”
Solving Industry-Wide Pain Points
Billables AI directly addresses the core challenges faced by both finance and operational leaders in law firms:
Revenue Leakage – Automatic time capture ensures that no billable hour is left unrecorded, boosting profitability.
Compliance & Security – It ensures encryption, strict access controls, and data privacy for users.
Meets SRA, GDPR, and AML requirements, ensuring accurate audit trails.
Billing & Cash Flow Efficiency – Reduces admin overhead, speeds up invoice generation, and improves financial forecasting.
Firm-Wide Productivity Insights – Provides real-time visibility into workload distribution and efficiency.
Seamless Integration & Minimal Disruption – Works in the background, requiring no active user input beyond approval of tracked time.
An Award-Winning Innovation in LegalTech
Billables AI has rapidly gained recognition in the legal technology space. The company won ‘Billing Management Solution of the Year’ at the US Legal Tech Breakthrough Awards 2024 and was recently named a finalist in two categories for the US 2025 Legalweek Leaders in Tech Law Awards for ‘New Law Company of the Year’ & ‘Practice Management Innovation’, underscoring its impact on modernising legal billing. Additionally, Billables AI secured $3.9 million in seed funding, reflecting strong investor confidence in its ability to reshape how law firms handle time recording.
Arvind Sujeeth, CEO of Billables AI said:
“We’re thrilled to partner with Tricostar as the exclusive UK distributor of Billables AI. Their strong track record of supporting law firms and professional services aligns perfectly with our mission to drive innovation in practice management. We look forward to bringing the power of AI-driven efficiency to more firms across the UK."
