Global Legal Ebilling speaking engagements “on the road”

New Ebilling-Specific Conference in Planning Stage

Posted on by in Conference, GLE On the Road

Inemesit Edet, the principal at Smart eBilling Team, announced recently that she is putting together a legal ebilling-only conference in 2026 called Smart eBill Con. This will be the first legal ebilling only conference ever, which is surprising since our industry is now 30 years old, and it is desperately needed to increase not only law firm skills, but also law department awareness.

Most interestingly, the conference will offer both on-site and virtual registration for attendees.

I worked with Inemesit on the LEDES Oversight Committee Board of Directors and really got to know her when we manned the LEDES booth together at the ILTA Educational Conference in August 2024.  She is really smart and an influential voice in our industry.

When I saw the first notice about the intended conference on LinkedIn, I reached out to her and asked how I could help. In addition to assisting however I can with the planning, I will be speaking at the conference in 3 sessions: one on the rise of Jurisdictional Tax Authority Systems (generally referred to as “CTC Systems”); another on the CTC requirements and the impact on legal ebilling; and another on the LEDES XML formats (why, what and how).

Look for more posts on this conference as planning progresses.  Learn more about Smart eBill Con.

LegalOps.com’s RLLB Conference

Posted on by in GLE On the Road

GLE founder Jane Bennitt will be attending LegalOps.com Running Legal Like a Business Conference in Las Vegas NV, 3-6 September 2024. Jane will be manning the LEDES Oversight Committee booth, and will be moderating an IP track session on September 4th at 11:00 AM entitled “IP Legal Spend Management: What Legal Operations Needs to Know.” Speaking with Jane on this topic will be Preston Heard (Womble Bond Dickinson), Carl Bowers (Lyft), Phil Henderson (Prokurio), and Subroto Bose (AsteraLabs).

This is Jane’s first time at RLLB and she is very excited about their new 9-session IP track. RLLB is the first major, general legal conference to include an IP track. Kudos to LegalOps.com!!!

See you at ILTA’s Educational Conference

Posted on by in GLE On the Road, ILTACon

It is with great joy that we announce a return to the ILTA Educational Conference, 22 – 25 August, 2022. ILTA was the first supporter of the LEDES Oversight Committee and finally, as the pandemic moves into endemic phase, we will be back this year in August.

Conference participants can find the LOC in booth #534, with GLE founder and LOC President, Jane Bennitt, and Nadia Strobbia, LOC Secretary and Thomson Reuters powerhouse, on-site.

In addition, we will have a hospitality room on Tuesday, 23 August where we will be hosting:
– 11:30 – 12:300 – the LEDES Oversight Committee mid-year members’ meeting
– 1:30 – 2:30 – Open forum discussion on Ebilling Issues and Best Practices. This session is a continuation of a discussion started by our London Regional Group, and the discussion will lead to a Best Practices White Paper on LEDES.org for Law Departments and Insurance organizations looking to implement legal ebilling.

Both events will also be held via webinar for participation by LOC global members not at the conference.

In addition to the above, GLE Founder Jane A. Bennitt will participate in session #1714: Leveraging Technology to Manage Outside Counsel Guidelines, to be held on Wednesday, 24 August 2022 from 2:30 – 3:30. Co-participants include Scott Springer from HBR Consulting and Mark Agin from Shearman & Sterling.

It’s LegalTech Time Again

Posted on by in GLE On the Road, LEDES Oversight Committee

It’s time again for Legal Tech, this year January 31st through February 2nd at the New York Hilton.  GLE will again be at the show, with Jane A. Bennitt scheduled to host the LEDES Oversight Committee annual member’s meeting that Tuesday morning at 9:00.

The show either is being rebranded or is affiliating with the name LegalWeek, which will be difficult for most of us veterans who have attended since the beginning of the conference to commit to memory.

See you at the conference!

See You At Legal Tech!

Posted on by in GLE On the Road

GLE founder Jane Bennitt will attend Legal Tech in February.

On Tuesday 3 Feb Jane will speak at an ILTA-track session with current LEDES Oversight Committee President Cathi Collins.  The session will be an open forum where the audience is encouraged to speak about what is right or wrong with ebilling today.  Our intent is to frankly discuss ebilling, see if there are projects that should be undertaken by the LOC, and to set priorities.  The session will be held at 12:30 in the Mercury Ballroom.

The LOC annual members meeting is on Wednesday 4 Feb and is open to the general public, not just LOC members.

Other than these commitments, we are setting up meetings during the show.  As a rule, Legal Tech meetings are free, so take advantage of this opportunity to talk with GLE about your issues, concerns and needs.  See you there!
