ResearchLexisNexis SmartOffice Research helps you gain control of the law and your time.

The law is changing constantly. It is imperative lawyers have the ability to conduct legal research, regardless of area or type of practice.

It helps to reduce risk by identifying issues correctly and it increases insights through deep analysis by looking up other law jurisdictions in case of conflicting decisions or no binding authority.

Knowledge of sources, judgment, analysis and experience plays a role in legal research, but also research techniques and solutions.

For over 100 years, LexisNexis has delivered powerful, authoritative and up-to-date research to lawyers helping them make great decisions every day. Our best in class research tools keep you up-to-date with the key drivers and changes affecting your clients.
