LexisNexis®
Legal & Professional, a leading provider of content and
technology solutions, today announced it has added the first
jurisdictional module – California – to its Web-based practical guidance
offering, Lexis®
Practice Advisor. The new module provides California attorneys and
those serving California-based clients with easy access to
jurisdiction-specific practical guidance, checklists, model documents
and legal analysis to help them handle transactional matters efficiently
and with more confidence. The California module contains original
content written and edited by leading attorneys currently in practice in
California, capturing the most relevant legal information, analysis and
trends in the state.
“Lexis Practice Advisor is fantastic. It not only allows me to become
knowledgeable in unfamiliar areas of law and learn about key topics in
my practice areas, but I am also able to quickly locate information that
I use in my office on a regular basis,” said Christina Oleson, Partner
at Oleson & Oleson, a San Diego-based law firm that provides services in
the areas of real estate, corporate formation and litigation. “An added
bonus is that there is less clutter on my desk because I don't have
stacks of books sitting around my computer.”
The Lexis Practice Advisor California module is an intuitive,
easy-to-use legal information resource that covers key topics pertinent
to California practice such as Business Law for the California Attorney,
Commercial Real Estate, Entertainment Law, and New California Corporate
Entities. Each topical area includes an overview, step-by-step ‘how to’
practical guidance, checklists, model forms and legal analysis,
delivering tools and insights to handle a transaction from beginning to
end. With key content at an attorney’s fingertips, the California module
helps users get up to speed quickly on new or unfamiliar topics,
provides a good starting point for drafting, and significantly
simplifies the routine of legal practitioners.
“California is a key jurisdiction for attorneys across the country, and
advising clients on transactional matters in the state requires an
in-depth knowledge of its unique topics, laws and industries,” said
Suzanne Petren Moritz, vice president and managing director for Lexis
Practice Advisor. “We are excited that seasoned California attorneys
worked with us to create the Lexis Practice Advisor California module,
offering actionable guidance and insights vital to California legal
practice and issues.”
The practical guidance, forms and practice notes in Lexis Practice
Advisor’s California module were written by prominent California
practitioners from firms such as Jones Day, Gibson Dunn & Crutcher LLP,
Best Best & Krieger LLP, Perkins Coie LLP and Gordon & Rees LLP, and are
complemented by authoritative Matthew Bender® treatises and
California Legal Forms content from LexisNexis®. The module
also includes access to applicable California and Federal codes, and
on-point cases from California and the Ninth Circuit – all organized by
legal topic or transaction.
The California module for Lexis Practice Advisor follows the successful
introduction of the Business
Law module in January 2012 and the Financial
Restructuring & Bankruptcy module in May 2012. Additional Lexis
Practice Advisor modules will be available later this year, with a
Corporate Counsel module launching in fall 2012.
Lexis Practice Advisor is offered on an annual all-inclusive
subscription basis. It is available as a stand-alone product or in
conjunction with a lexis.com® subscription. More information
about the Lexis Practice Advisor offering is available on our product
site at http://www.lexisnexis.com/en-us/products/lexis-practice-advisor.page.
