NEW YORK, NY, January 30, 2006 - As law firms continue to strive for more efficiency and effectiveness across their practices, LexisNexis U.S. is helping their cause with the introduction of LexisNexis® Total Search v.4.0, the latest version of the company’s award-winning information and content management tool. LexisNexis, a leading provider of legal, news and business information services and tools proven to improve firm productivity and profitability, formally introduced version 4.0 during the LegalTech New York trade show and conference, Jan. 30-Feb. 1, 2006.
LexisNexis Total Search v.4.0 is an integrated search tool that allows researchers to use the precision searching capabilities of the lexis.com® service to simultaneously search LexisNexis content and the firm’s internal collection of most relevant and useful work product. Powerful linking between internal content and LexisNexis analytical and primary law materials further enhances the researcher’s experience. In addition, integration of real-time Shepard’s Signal™ indicators to both internal and external documents through LexisNexis Total Search assures legal professionals that their arguments rely on only the best precedent.
"As a premier national business litigation boutique, Faruki Ireland & Cox relies on being able to completely utilize its internal work product and knowledge – LexisNexis Total Search has enabled us to do just that," said Jeff Cox, partner, Faruki Ireland & Cox. "With this new release of Total Search, we see the availability of a complete range of new services that complements our constant effort to achieve excellent results for our clients while utilizing the most efficient and effective range of litigation support methods and tools available to us."
With the introduction of LexisNexis Total Search v.4.0, legal professionals are further able to leverage additional sources of internal intellectual capital through two new modules: Total Search Transactional and Total Search Expertise.
Total Search Transactional expands the reach into law firms that are looking for sophisticated internal work product solutions for their deal and transactional practice areas. This module enables legal professionals to quickly access prior deal documents, ultimately expanding the capability to leverage the firm’s work product. With Total Search Transactional, users quickly find relevant documents and clauses to aid them in creating new work product while saving time and providing clients with superior work product based on firm experience.
The second new module – Total Search Expertise – leverages multiple sources of information to locate and highlight firm expertise or know-how. The module provides the ability for users to share information across the firm about "who knows whom and "who knows what," improving the training and effectiveness of young associates and increasing cross-selling opportunities. In addition to tapping into multiple sources of internal work product, Total Search Expertise can also integrate with the firm’s LexisNexis® Interface Software, the leading provider of Client Relationship Management software and services which enable firms to create the Relationship Intelligence they need to uncover new business opportunities and enhance client service.
