Monaco Cooper Lamme & Carr, PLLC’s partner, Michelle Storm, is moderating a panel at the ALFA International Retail & Hospitality Practice Group Seminar, held in Nashville, TN on February 5, 2026. The panel, “How Technology Can Drive Cost Efficiencies and Billing Innovations,” examines how law firms and their clients are using technology to modernize billing practices and manage legal spend more effectively.
The session explores emerging tools and platforms that are reshaping the billing landscape, including AI-driven time capture solutions, automated billing review systems, and data analytics platforms that promote greater accuracy, transparency, and consistency. Panelists focus on how these technologies help reduce inefficiencies, minimize billing disputes, and support stronger collaboration between firms and clients.
In addition, the discussion will address how technology-enabled insights are driving alternative fee arrangements and more data-informed decision-making, aligning billing practices with evolving client expectations.
MCLC is proud to support the next generation of legal leaders and to contribute to conversations that advance innovation and best practices across the legal profession.
