LexisNexis Transactional Advisor is a Launching Pad to Practice Centers—and to More Content on Corresponding Web 2.0 Communities
Each practice center showcases LexisNexis legal resources arranged according to a specific transactions practice workflow. That means you’ll find needed information based on tasks to be completed rather than specific source names.
Currently there are 11 Practice Areas to select from:
For example, in the Commercial Practice Center, click Evaluate Risks & Conduct Due Diligence. Now you have access to legal analysis, public records, news—even report products—to help you investigate parties and collateral, analyze damages & remedies and understand statutes of fraud.
NOTE: You can select a practice center as the default view whenever you click the TRANSACTIONAL ADVISOR tab. After displaying a practice center, click the Set as my default Practice Center link in the navigation trail at the top of the screen.
The LexisNexis Practice Centers feature new resources, including:
- New Multi-Jurisdictional Surveys w/Analysis: Now find more than 300 surveys! Quickly compare 50-state or country laws in order to better advise clients on where jurisdictional traps might lie. Just select the topic and retrieve a spreadsheet with links to the pertinent statutes, regulations and rules. (Also find access to these time savers on the main Transactional Advisor screen.)
- New Forms with Fill-in-the-Blank functionality: Tap into more than 22,000 frequently used forms!
