Bringing You the Best in International and Foreign Law Analysis

Welcome to the Non-US-centric Centre of LexisNexis! The International & Foreign Law Center is your LexisNexis portal to the treasure chest of non-US legal content and analysis available from LexisNexis worldwide.  From the Matthew Bender “Doing Business” and international commercial law treatises, or the offerings of our Butterworths affiliates throughout the British Commonwealth, LexisNexis Germany, LexisNexis Poland, or  of JurisClasseur and LexisNexis France’s offerings for France and Francophone Africa, to LexisNexis’ Asia-Pacific divisions' offerings – now including Butterworths Wadhwa, you will find the best international and foreign law analysis available anywhere. 

 Our newest features on the I&FL Web Center are our Regional Law Toolboxes and Industry /Topic Law Toolboxes, which will allow you to view our legal content offerings for a particular country/jurisdiction or for a particular industry.  Where relevant, these toolboxes include indications of legal content available from LN sister companies, pertinent business or topical content available from other Reed Elsevier companies, and some useful external links to regional organizations.  The Regional Law Toolboxes organize countries and jurisdictions by region and cover the globe from the Arctic to Antarctica. The Industry/Topic Law Toolboxes group together our LN content offerings to assist in your international or cross-border practice in particular industry settings (e.g., pharmaceuticals, aviation/space) or practice areas (international arbitration).  Any visitor can see what content we have on offer.  LN subscribers can sign in and click through to the content itself.  Not a current LN subscriber?  You can also sign on with a credit card for a one-time search.

For example, do you need EU Law?  Don't miss our European Union Law Toolbox, now one of our Regional Law Toolboxes for the latest in EU legal developments and analysis and information about the incomparable EU Tracker and EU Tax Cases Tracker! 

Another related new  feature and an added benefit for LN subscribers is the new Foreign Law Tab on lexis.com.  This tab lists over 100 countries/jurisdictions and provides each with a country-specific menu of the content we have available for each one - kind of like having our Regional Law Toolboxes within lexis.com, with the added benefits of  lexis.com search and cross-linking functionality at your fingertips.  You can access the Foreign Law Tab through our Trasactional Adviser page, the International Business Transactions and Dispute Resolution page or under "Area of Law" on  lexis.com's "Legal" tab.

 If you are getting involved in a new jurisdiction for the first time, find it within our relevant Regional Law Toolbox,   then first check out that country's  Martindale Hubbell International Law Digest for a quick overview of its laws and legal system – then use the Martindale Hubbell Lawyer Locator to find local counsel there.   And don’t forget to check our Emerging Issues Analyses in the Insights & Analysis box for a pertinent insight into an issue you may be facing.

Are you a non-US lawyer needing information about US law?  While LexisNexis is clearly your source, where do you start? With our US Law Tools for Non-US Lawyers, now included as one of our Regional Law Toolboxes!  You will find there links to all the Martindale -Hubbell United States Law Digests and our Doing Business in the United States treatise to help you begin your research.  And the Martindale-Hubbell Lawyer Locator, with its peer- and client-rating systems, will help you find local US counsel in the State you need. So if you're a foreign lawyer seeking information about US federal or state laws, we've even got tools to help you get oriented before you visit our sister websites featuring topical areas of  US law.
