New Delhi, July 27 :. Following overwhelming success in the UK, Australia, New Zealand, China, Hong Kong and Singapore, Lexis® Practical Guidance, an innovative online workflow-based solution, was launched in India at The Lalit, New Delhi, on Tuesday.
At the launch dignitaries like Dr. Lalit Bhasin, President, Society of Indian Law Firms (SILF), along with eminent senior law firm partners, senior advocates and corporate counsels by LexisNexis, a leading global provider of content-enabled workflow solutions, were present.
Mohan Ramaswamy, Managing Director, LexisNexis India – Legal Professional, said, If you look into the legal process dynamics, you will discover that more than 40% of the time of in-house counsels and partners is spent on drafting, conveyance and legal research, leaving them less time for business development or discovering new opportunities in unfamiliar areas of law.
Moreover, non-availability of trusted legal updates makes the research process more time- and labour-consuming. No doubt, about 85-90% of the corporate lawyers see technology tools as key efficiency drivers. With Lexis Practical Guidance, we have tried to re-engineer how things are done and, in particular, how we can make operations quick, trackable and efficient, saving both time and money.
He also mentioned that for India, LexisNexis has specifically developed premium content in partnership with the Society of Indian law firms (SILF) and some eminent corporate/general, uniquely aimed at the Indian market, with currently offering modules in Companies Act, Mergers and Acquisitions, Enterprise Corporate Management, Commercial Contracts and FEMA, with many more in the pipeline.
