Today’s in-house legal teams need access to accurate and up-to-date legal research tools which are available 24/7. In-house counsel across all sizes and types of businesses rely on Lexis+ Legal Research, which contains the largest collection of UK law, for comprehensive access to annotated up-to-date legislation, case law, forms, precedents and commentary from Butterworths and Tolley.

So what are some of the main reasons that in-house lawyers choose Lexis+ Legal Research?

1. Flexibility

Unlike a physical law library, Lexis+ Legal Research is accessible day and night from any location. This enables in-house counsel to react instantly when there is an urgent task which needs to be completed outside regular office hours. It also means that legal research can be conducted remotely, which is useful given that most in-house legal teams have adopted a hybrid working model.

2. Save time

Since Lexis+ Legal Research makes multiple sources of legal information available via a single interface, there’s no time wasted in switching between different research platforms - or visiting physical legal libraries. Its powerful search functionality enables in-house counsel to locate relevant legislation more easily, making research easier and saving time.

3. Advise with confidence

Lexis+ Legal Research is trusted by thousands of legal professionals around the world, as one of the most authoritative publishers of legal information. In an era of fake news, access to reliable, up-to-date legal information is vital for in-house legal advisers. Although some lawyers still use Google for legal research, this runs the risk of providing incorrect or out-of-date legal advice to your business, or wasting valuable time on cross-checking sources. Lexis+ Legal Research provides peace of mind that research information is accurate and up-to-date law and can be relied upon.

4. Tracking legal changes

It’s possible to see how legislation has developed over time on Lexis+ Legal Research with its historical versioning function. ³ÉÈËÓ°Òô uses the latest legal technology so that subscribers can see exactly what has changed in different iterations of any specific regulation and view legislative timelines. This helps to contextualise the law and helps in-house counsel to prepare for future legislative amendments.

5. Legal alerts

In-house legal teams are expected to stay at the forefront of any regulatory changes which could impact their business. Lexis+ Legal Research’s email alert function removes the headache of constantly having to check other sources for legislative developments. There are two types of alerts:

• Updates - these provide information on legal news for specific selected areas of interest.
• Search alerts - this is a highly targeted alert which is sent out when a new document is added to the results of any specific search.

6. Free onboarding

In-house legal departments with multiple team members can save time by taking advantage of the free onboarding service from ³ÉÈËÓ°Òô. We provide initial training for Lexis+ Legal Research, which means that other colleagues don’t need to spend their time teaching new staff how to use the product.

7. Integration with Lexis+ Practical Guidance

Uniquely to ³ÉÈËÓ°Òô, Lexis+ Legal Research is fully integrated with Lexis+ Practical Guidance on one single platform, providing a comprehensive suite of legal research tools. Commentary provides single click linking to relevant legislation and vice-versa. This integration can save time for in-house counsel who might otherwise have to switch between different software applications.
