Faced with increasing budget constraints, legal departments are looking at technology solutions to help them do more with less. But, how do you find answers to the questions you have about maximizing usage of the systems you already have, or about new systems you may be considering? The session will address prevalent questions collected through ACC listservs and spontaneous questions and comments from the audience, which will allow for candid feedback from industry experts. The panel will help you sort through issues and solutions regarding available technologies — including integrations between and among systems — involving matter management, e-billing, contract management, digital signatures, and document management systems.

Generally, wage and hour collective actions require no showing of intent but can result in enormous damages awards. Complex rules, compliance vulnerability, an aggressive plaintiff's bar and a sluggish economy keep the claims for unpaid overtime, off-the-clock work and misclassification of workers, roiling. Vulnerable pay practices and policies are commonplace, and the DOL Wage and Hour Division, with increased funding and staff, is working overtime to enforce the law. In this session, wage and hour specialists and class action practitioners will explore recent developments in rules and enforcement, and emerging trends in class and collective actions.

battle by developing strategies for the efficient and effective handling of cases. Through trial
