Rick Hellers, Chief Executive Officer & Co-Founder of Scan-Logic, joins David Woolstencroft at ILTACON 2025 to talk about e-billing, outside counsel guidelines and why getting paid has become far more complicated for law firms. Rick explains how billing evolved from simple invoices into a maze of detailed client guidelines, multiple e-billing gateways and audit processes that can slow payment and reduce realization. They also discuss how automation and AI can help firms check compliance before bills are submitted, reduce appeals and improve cash flow, especially for mid-size firms that feel the pain but may not have large internal teams to manage it.
