Introducing the Firm Performance Data Engine: AI-Powered Financial Insight & Benchmarking for 2026
Monday September 14, 2026 11:00am - 11:45am EDT
We're experimenting with AI — and we're excited about what's ahead. In this session, Bianca Zavala shares an early, behind-the-scenes look at some of the ideas we're exploring around how AI could help turn a firm's financial data into clearer, more actionable insight. Think less about static reports and more about the possibility of asking everyday questions of your data and getting helpful answers back.

Through concept demos and works-in-progress, we'll explore how AI might help interpret financial data, surface trends, and highlight signals that support better decisions. Nothing here is final — these are directions we're investigating, not finished features — but they offer a window into where we're heading.

Improving Money Movement for Law Firms — and the Role of AI
Monday September 14, 2026 1:00pm - 1:45pm EDT
Join SurePoint's Vice President of Payment Services Brian DuCharme and a special guest TBA for an executive discussion on the importance of a well-balanced strategy for managing firm-wide money movement. This session will explore how leading firms are modernizing financial operations—enhancing e-invoicing adoption, expanding digital payment acceptance, and streamlining accounts payable through automation. We will also examine the critical impact of speed and cost in moving funds, including the operational and financial burden of underwriting litigant costs and other out-of-pocket expenses that firms carry until case resolution. Attendees will gain insight into how emerging technologies, including AI, can optimize these processes, improve cash flow visibility, and reduce administrative overhead across the firm.

Panel: What Metrics Matter Most for Law Firm Success
Monday September 14, 2026 2:00pm - 3:00pm EDT
Every firm tracks metrics — but the ones that truly predict performance often get lost in the noise. In this client panel, Amy Flaherty and Jenna Keberdle bring together firm leaders to cut through the dashboards and debate what actually matters: the financial, operational, and productivity metrics that drive realization, profitability, and growth in 2026 — and the vanity numbers that quietly mislead. Hear how real firms decide what to measure, how they turn data into decisions, and where standard reports leave dangerous gaps. Whether you're a managing partner, finance leader, or operations executive, you'll leave with a sharper view of the metrics worth your attention and practical ways to put them to work right away.

Platinum Sponsor Session: 4L Managed Accounting - Metrics that Matter
Monday September 14, 2026 3:15pm - 4:00pm EDT
What to Track, What to Fix, What to Ignore 
 
Most firms track plenty of data. Not all use it to make better decisions. This session focuses on the financial and productivity metrics that have the biggest effect on firm performance and profitability, including the ones that tend to be overlooked, and a few that can mislead you. 
 
We'll cover: 
  • The metrics that matter most, and why 
  • Where standard reports leave gaps, and what those gaps can cost 
  • How to turn the numbers you already have into decisions 
 
We'll also show how firms can put these metrics to work using practical reporting, including a look at a new Finance Enterprise reporting package built for this purpose. 
 
What you'll walk away with: A clear picture of which metrics truly matter, and at least one idea you can put to work right away, regardless of the system you're using today.
