Utilizing Technology

Delivering Solutions

Littler Mendelson utilizes technology for accelerating service, reducing costs and sharing knowledge. We have made a strategic decision to invest substantially in technology, recognizing that this investment would allow us to service our clients’ needs faster, more accurately, and more efficiently. As Littler continues to invest in technology, we listen to our clients in order to understand both their legal and business needs and deliver the right solutions at the right cost.

All Littler attorneys are issued state of the art laptop computers with wireless remote access and portable telephone extension capabilities. Most attorneys also carry a BlackBerry for additional connectivity. Whether they are in our offices, hotels, airports or their homes, our attorneys have direct access to email, documents and Littler’s knowledge management systems. By providing remote network accessibility for our individual attorneys, and in some instances to our clients, and by providing a reliable and secure technology infrastructure, Littler has rendered geographic separation virtually meaningless in providing client services.

Littler has made extensive use of our intellectual capital by deploying an enterprise-wide document management system that allows us immediate and efficient access to work which has been done in the past by Littler attorneys. Additionally, the system allows us to efficiently collaborate on documents between our offices, coast-to-coast. Littler has deployed a firmwide IP telephone system that links every office to provide a seamless communications network of voicemail, call forwarding, and in many cases, services directly into attorney’s homes.

In addition to employing innovative technologies within the firm to support client work, Littler is one of the first firms in the country to hire an attorney at the shareholder level to focus exclusively on working with clients in the challenging field of electronic discovery.  Paul Weiner, who serves as our National e-Discovery Counsel, is a nationally-recognized thought leader in this area and has lectured and published extensively on this subject.  He provides focused guidance and expertise to Littler lawyers on all aspects of electronic discovery – which has become one of the most expensive elements of wage and hour class action litigation faced by clients today.
