Highlights from the LEDES Educational Session at ILTACon

Last week, I had the exciting opportunity to attend my first ILTACon, where Jane Bennitt and I presented “Frustrated with Legal eBilling? Let’s Do Something About It.” The event took place at the breathtaking Gaylord Opryland in Nashville, TN, renowned for its 9-acre indoor garden and the charming Riverboat Ride. It was a fantastic experience!

Our session began with introductions, followed by Jane providing an overview of LEDES eBilling formats and the extensive resources available on the www.LEDES.org website. We then transitioned into the interactive portion of our presentation. Despite our invitation for participants to share their eBilling challenges, the initial response was quiet.

Fortunately, Jane and I were prepared for this scenario. We had compiled a list of frequently asked questions and common eBilling issues. I took the lead in posing these questions, and Jane with her deep expertise, provided some answers, and then I would also follow-up with more information. Jane and I worked seamlessly together, addressing complex issues with real-life scenarios that clarified the challenges and offered practical solutions. We talked about task codes, system compatibility tracking data, and more.

After the session, we had several people approach us for more information. Additionally, several others visited the LEDES booth to express their appreciation and ask further questions; and walked up to me at the conference.

If you’d like a copy of the presentation, please contact Global Legal eBilling.

I’d also like to highlight that Jane Bennitt, a key architect behind many of the LEDES standards used by major corporations and law firms today, is an incredible source of knowledge. I’m truly honored to work alongside her on the LEDES Oversight Committee Board.
