Fee Earners: Getting Started

Learn how SILQ helps fee earners manage matters, capture time, and stay organised. This guide covers key tools to streamline your daily legal work.

Fee earners — such as solicitors, associates, and senior lawyers — are at the core of legal service delivery within a law firm. While responsibilities may vary depending on seniority, most fee earners are involved in managing matters, drafting legal documents, advising clients, tracking time, and ensuring work is delivered efficiently and professionally.

This article outlines how SILQ supports fee earners in managing their day-to-day tasks, from capturing time and managing documents to staying across matter progress and communication — all within a streamlined, easy-to-use platform.
