Confidential Scheduling Software for Lawyers
Confidential client scheduling without the back-and-forth or the compliance risk. Legal consultation booking that keeps privileged data off third-party servers.
Why do solicitors need more than Calendly?
When a prospective client books through a tool packed with tracking pixels and third-party analytics, the simple act of contacting you becomes data harvested by ad networks. For a solicitor or barrister, that is a professional liability, not a minor annoyance. Client communications are privileged, and the tools you put in front of them have to reflect that. Tymeslot collects only what the booking needs, runs no third-party trackers, and self-hosts so the data never leaves your own infrastructure.
Why legal practice scheduling demands different standards
Calendly, Acuity, and SimplyBook.me were shaped around restaurant reservations and SaaS sales calls, which look nothing like legal practice. They embed advertising pixels and third-party trackers, so the moment a prospective client opens your booking page, the privileged nature of that first contact is already gone. For a solicitor or barrister the booking page forms part of the engagement record, and a tool that hands that record to Facebook, Google Ads, and a dozen data brokers creates professional liability the moment it loads.
The financial side is just as unforgiving. A senior practitioner bills £150 to £500 an hour, and an hour a day on calendar coordination over six months is a multi-thousand-pound expense in unbilled time. The consultations that never happen because scheduling got in the way become file numbers that never opened. Tymeslot clears both problems. Booking pages carry no third-party scripts, self-hosting puts client data inside your chambers' infrastructure, and a consultation fee or retainer deposit at the point of booking separates genuine instructions from idle enquiries before the diary even opens.
Everything Lawyers need. Nothing they don't.
Scheduling features shaped around how your practice works.
No Third-Party Tracking
Tymeslot runs zero analytics pixels or ad-network scripts. Clients can book a consultation without their data touching Facebook, Google Ads, or any ad network.
Self-Host for Full Data Control
Deploy on your own server via Docker or Cloudron and the booking data never leaves your infrastructure — critical for legally privileged client communications.
Separate Billable Consultation Type
Configure your initial consultation as its own bookable event with a fixed duration, custom questions, and a separate booking link kept out of public directories.
Hard Buffers Between Client Meetings
Set mandatory preparation and wrap-up time between appointments so one client's matter never bleeds into the next — and you always have time to close your notes.
Consultation Fees at Booking
Require an initial consultation fee or retainer deposit at the point of booking so a slot is only confirmed once the client has paid. Stripe handles the transaction; refund and cancellation rules are configurable per matter type.
Private Direct Booking Links
Share a booking link directly with a prospective client rather than publishing a public calendar page — keeping your availability confidential.

Common scheduling scenarios
How other Lawyers use Tymeslot every day.
How do I book initial consultations without a compliance risk?
An initial consultation is a new client's first point of contact, and the booking itself must not leak privileged information to third-party services.
- Create a dedicated 'Initial Consultation' event type with a fixed 30- or 60-minute duration and a billable flag.
- Enable the intake form to capture the matter type and a brief summary — stored only on your server.
- Share the private booking link by email or on your firm's contact page — it does not appear in any public directory.
- The client receives a confirmation with a video link and a calendar invite; you receive a notification with their intake answers.
How do I prevent client meetings from running into each other?
Client matters rarely wrap up exactly on time. Hard buffer rules keep breathing room between appointments so they don't run into each other.
- Set a before-buffer of 10 minutes on every client meeting event type to allow for preparation and file review.
- Set an after-buffer of 15 minutes for wrap-up notes and any follow-up tasks.
- Configure a minimum notice period of 24 hours so no client can book a same-day slot without your explicit approval.
- Tymeslot enforces these rules automatically — no double-bookings, no gaps you have to police manually.
How do I manage ongoing client meetings alongside new consultations?
Existing clients coming back for an update need a different booking flow from prospective clients seeking a first consultation.
- Create a second event type — 'Client Update Meeting' — with a shorter duration and a different intake form.
- Share the update-meeting link privately with existing clients only; keep the initial consultation link separate.
- Connect your calendar so both event types draw from the same availability pool without conflicts.
- Use Tymeslot's notification settings to receive a daily digest of upcoming appointments rather than individual alerts.

"I moved away from Calendly the moment I realised it was dropping tracking pixels on every booking page. Tymeslot lets me self-host the entire thing — my clients' data stays on my server, full stop."
