LexisNexis® Legal & Professional, a prominent global provider of legal information and analytics, has introduced Lexis+ Ireland. This advanced technological solution offers legal practitioners in Ireland access to comprehensive research tools, technology-driven insights, and practical guidance, all within a user-friendly platform.
Lexis+ Ireland consolidates a vast collection of Irish practical guidance, real-time legal updates, case law, and legislation into a single platform. It encompasses over 500 practice notes, templates, and checklists, as well as up-to-date legislative information and more than 20,000 Irish court judgments, including those from the Irish Reports. The streamlined design of Lexis+ prioritizes essential information and tasks, streamlining the process for lawyers, knowledge professionals, and students to quickly access the information they require.
For the first time, an integrated repository of legal knowledge can be easily accessed through a single robust search interface. Lexis+ offers a suite of innovative tools and features to expedite access to legal content. The Search Term Maps allow users to visually identify key sections of content, cases, and documents, enabling them to jump directly to the most pertinent sections. Search Trees graphically illustrate how search terms are applied, simplifying the process of finding the necessary information. Pinned Sources provide one-click access to frequently consulted publications, facilitating quick access to research sources.
Lexis+ has been developed with collaboration in mind, offering dynamic workspaces called Work Folders that can be shared among colleagues, housing user-generated document annotations and data. The Legal News Hub presents a consolidated view of news from industry-leading and authoritative sources such as MLex and Law360, which are exclusively available through LexisNexis.
“We are delighted to launch Lexis+ in Ireland,” said Sean Fitzpatrick, CEO, LexisNexis UK, Ireland and North America. “It’s intuitive and powerful user experience has already proven invaluable in other markets around the world. We have taken the time to build a solution that specifically meets the needs of the Irish market.”
“In today’s climate,” Fitzpatrick continued, “Lawyers are turning to technology to give them a competitive edge. By embracing Lexis+, lawyers will have easy access to comprehensive legal intelligence that will improve their productivity and their ability to deliver timely and strategic counsel.”
Looking ahead, LexisNexis plans to continually enhance Lexis+ by introducing new features, content, and product integrations to ensure an optimal experience for all user segments. These additions will include an Irish Case Citator, offering a historical record, subsequent treatment, and current status of case law. Additionally, a Legislative Timeline will visually display amendments to legislative Acts, allowing lawyers to quickly grasp what changes have occurred and when.
Richard Crouch, Director of Research Solutions, LexisNexis UK & Ireland, added “Lexis+ Ireland has been designed for the ways that lawyers work. Deeply integrated product components, cutting-edge technologies and modern design elements put LexisNexis applications, content and data that lawyers need right at their fingertips.”
