AI Functions
Automated time-tracking that monitors user activity across applications and websites, helping capture all billable work with minimal manual entry.Â
Embedded AI/LLM-connected tools (for example via integration with ChatGPT) that assist in drafting documents or templated communications while keeping confidential data within the system.Â
Analytics and business-intelligence modules that leverage data from the platform to surface actionable insights (e.g., realization rates, matter profitability, resource bottlenecks).
Product Core Functions
Rocket Matter is a cloud-based, full-service management platform designed for law firms of all sizes. It centralizes case and matter management, time and expense tracking, billing and payments (including trust accounting), document automation, contact management, reporting and analytics, and integrations with tools like accounting software and email/calendar systems. Â
Users can access the platform from desktop or mobile devices, enabling remote work and mobile time capture. The platform also supports customizable workflows and templates by practice area or matter type, enabling firms to standardize processes and reduce administrative overhead.
Key Features
Matter & case management with custom fields, templates and Kanban-style status boards.
Time and expense tracking (including mobile capture), batch billing, recurring billing, and trust-account compliance.Â
Document automation and assembly with merge-fields using stored matter/contact data.Â
Online payment processing (credit card & e-check) and built-in integration with major accounting tools (e.g., QuickBooks Online).Â
Analytics and business-intelligence dashboards: KPI tracking (e.g., revenue by attorney, case budgets vs actuals, utilization rates).Â
Deep integrations with email/calendar (Outlook/Google), document-storage/sharing tools, CRM modules, and mobile apps.
Ease Of Use
Daily Usability: The interface is designed to streamline core workflows (matter tracking, time entry, billing, document creation). Users value that everything is in one place rather than disparate tools. Mobile access supports working on the go. Some users flag mobile UI or performance as areas for improvement.Â
Team Onboarding Time: For a small firm with basic needs, staff can generally be up to speed within days to a week. Firms leveraging more complex workflows or templates may require 1–2 weeks of training and refinement of processes.
Integration with Existing Tools: Strong native integrations (accounting, email/calendar, document storage, payment processing) mean less manual duplication and faster adoption. If the firm uses highly specialized or legacy systems, some extra work may be needed for connectors or APIs.
Ongoing Administration Demand: Because the system is cloud-based and built for law firms, many administrative tasks (updates, backups, security) are handled by the provider. Internal ongoing demands revolve around maintaining matter templates, workflows, user permissions, and periodic review of analytics. As is typical, firms that adopt the analytics and customization features will allocate some administrative effort to ensure the data remains accurate and actionable.
