LexisONE Targets Small Firms
LEXIS Publishing, of Dayton, has introduced its new lexisONE Web site, which will offer free case law, legal forms, and information for small-firm attorneys.
The site is designed specifically for solo practitioners and small firm lawyers, says the company, and will offer five years of free case law, including the complete collection of U.S. Supreme Court cases, as well as 1,100 legal forms. An Internet legal guide offers 16,000 links to law-related Web sites, the company notes.
Through lexisONE, professionals also can access the company's enhanced collection of case law, as well as Shepard's citations service, on a pay-per-use credit card system, it says.
Scott Stieler has been named as chief operating officer of the new operation.
LEXIS plans to expand content to include client development, practice management tools, news, court calendars, and other resources.
"Lawyers currently spend $50 billion annually on professional products and services," reports LEXIS, which plans to "convert site traffic into "revenue opportunities, with a strategy that blends advertising, subscription, and sponsorship support."
The company also announced that it has added new tools to its lexis.com Practice Pages. The service offers customized home pages for individual practice or specialty areas.
Users can find and research primary law sources, and access other materials and practice guides, it says. The current roster includes tax, bankruptcy, patents, and several state-specific topics, such as Florida Family Law and New York Litigation.
