Lisa Girmscheid, Legal Department Administrator and Project Manager at Rockwell Automation, Inc. discusses how they use technology-driven information to help manage the Law Department. Lisa will show how they manage the technical intricacies of e-billing, such as timekeeper rate management, multiple currencies, Alternative Fee Arrangements, matter budgets, how they communicate with their law firms about billing guidelines, invoicing deadlines and payment of invoices. For the law firm managers, this discussion will shed some light on why corporate clients ask their law firms to go through the work of e-billing, and how this can be a mutually beneficial endeavor for both the firm and their client. And, for corporate department managers, take a look at how one Fortune 500 legal department is using technology to better manage their law firm relationships.
