They will demonstrate various components of the Litigation Intelligence Center on Bloomberg Law and show how attorneys and docket professionals are implementing new workflows to improve their research efficiency and leveraging tools to expand their business development resources. Betsy and Mike will also showcase Bloomberg Law's newest tool, Brief Analyzer, which uses machine learning to help you: save time on researching and drafting briefs; check whether cited authorities are good law; find related content, including case law, practical guidance, and sample briefs (and see why the tool suggested it); and quickly and easily download and print all cited authority.

We are pleased to announce our next webinar, ECFX presents, "Court Notice Management: Using Intelligent Automation to Mitigate Risk, Reduce Costs and Provide Visibility and Control into your Court Notice Process". 

We often hear, "We are far too busy dealing with old and new challenges to take on new technology." Usually this is a huge clue that it is exactly the right time to look to technology for help. Many firms do not realize the amount of time and effort they are expending processing court notices. Join us as ECFX Co-Founders, Bill Burch and Dan O'Day, cover how ECFX uses Intelligent Automation to automate the entire court notice process including a compelling case study. 

Bill Burch, ECFX Co-Founder & CRO, has over 35 years of experience in the legal industry including 10+ years as Vice President of Global Sales for Thomson Reuters Elite where he managed all aspects of sales for all product lines. He has been intimately involved in the successful launch and Go to Market strategies for numerous products including some of the current mainstream products in the legal market. Bill was an integral part of the team that won the Chairman's Award for innovation at Thomson Reuters for bringing Elite 3E to market. Prior to joining Thomson Reuters, Bill held various sales and sales management positions with Elite Information Systems, American Business Systems (ABS), Computer Consoles Incorporated (CCI), where he helped bring their front office products into the legal industry.

Dan O'Day, ECFX Co-Founder & CEO, is a lawyer and programmer with over 25 years of experience in the legal industry. His legal experience covers the entire spectrum of law firm operations from court runner to paralegal to lawyer. While practicing law he often found himself building technical solutions to common problems like managing discovery in complex litigation. Later as a programmer at Elite, acquired by Thomson Reuters, he used his combined skills to build several industry leading products including Conflict of Interest and Case Management systems. As a leader at Thomson Reuters, he worked with firms to design and develop new products, traveling to many counties to understand the varied requirements for both front office and back office operations at global law firms.

Please note the starting time is 10:00 a.m. Pacific/11:00 a.m. Mountain/Noon Central/1:00 p.m. Eastern.
