Blog Article … 3 Geeks & A Law Blog: Review of 2013 Legal Research Vendors’ Mergers, Acquistions, and Partnerships

http://www.geeklawblog.com/2013/12/review-of-2013-legal-research-vendors.html   The year started out with a trio of mergers in the legal information field when Thomson Reuters announced it was acquiring PLC, and Learnlive, and LexisNexis announced it was acquiring Knowledge Mosaic.

Pratt – May 2013 IntApp Acquires DTE Axiom - June 2013 Hein and Fastcase Announce Publishing Partnership – July 2013 TransUnion Acquires TLO – Nov 2013 Mergermarket sold to BC Partners – Nov 2013 Sirsi Acquires EOS - Nov 2013 I'm sure we've missed a few other activities that happened in 2013. Feel free to add those in the comments. Let's see what 2014 brings in the great shrinkage of legal information providers.
