Billing Compliance Tools are no Longer a Luxury. A lawyer’s timecards are subject to more scrutiny than ever before and rejections, reductions and write-offs are all causing a huge loss to firms. Client billing guidelines have become increasingly complex with, no two clients’ guidelines being the same.
With collaboration central to firm processes, how should firms overcome the compliance challenges?
This session explored this and much more with a debate on the impact of compliance tools within the profession. Without a process for reviewing, accepting and acknowledging the client billing guidelines compliance is practically an impossibility.

Hear from Marie Burgess, Senior Director of Product Management, Laurie Blackhurst, Business Consultant at Aderant and 2 Law Firm Guest Appearances, where we will discuss:
• Processes for guideline management, collaboration and visibility
• Best practices to help ensure accuracy and compliance throughout the entire WIP to Cash cycle
• The impact of compliance technology tools on firms in the industry.
