WHAT WE’RE WATCHING

CODERS - An alliance that includes Big Law and big business has released its first set of billing codes, as part of a broader project to build industrywide standards for identifying and tracking legal matters. As Dan Packel reports, the Standards Advancement for the Legal Industry (SALI) Alliance includes law firms such as Greenberg Traurig, Holland & Knight, Perkins Coie and Pepper Hamilton, and companies such as Shell and GSK. Version One of the new standards includes codes broken down by various areas of law and by different legal services. While many law firms already rely on codes to classify different types of legal work, the SALI categories, announced Tuesday at the 2019 Legalweek conference, aim to enable users to slice and dice data from multiple organizations.
