LexisNexis Martindale-Hubbell Launches New Experts & Services Directory For Legal Professionals at Martindale.com
Most Comprehensive Database of Its Kind Includes 50,000 Listings for Experts, Legal Consultants, Litigation Support and Other Service Providers
NEW PROVIDENCE, NJ, December 08, 2004 - LexisNexis Martindale-Hubbell, the leading client development company for the legal profession, has introduced the largest and most comprehensive Internet directory of law firm service providers at www.martindale.com/resources.
The new site is the online version of Martindale-Hubbell’s Directory of Experts & Services, a print directory that reaches more paralegals, litigators and corporate counsel than any other legal services guide. The directory is circulated to an audience of 500,000 legal professionals and is accessible on martindale.com® , in print, via the LexisNexis® service and in CD-ROM format.
The newly launched Internet database can be searched for free by legal professionals worldwide. It contains more than 50,000 listings of individuals and companies that provide valuable services to law firms, conveniently grouped into six major categories: Attorney & Litigation Support; Court Reporting & Deposition Services; Experts & Consultants; Investigators & Process Servers; Medical Experts & Consultants; and Practice Management & Services.
"Our goal at Martindale-Hubbell is to help law firms grow their businesses in a variety of ways, so we developed the new Experts & Services Directory at martindale.com to provide them with another tool for better managing their practices," said Paul Gazzolo, chief operating officer of New Providence, N.J.-based LexisNexis Martindale-Hubbell. "The Experts & Services Directory is a central resource on the Web through which lawyers and their staff members can quickly locate providers of important legal services. The new site offers powerful searching capabilities, including options for users to drill down by geographic location and with precision from broad categories - such as Medical Experts & Consultants - to specific areas of expertise - such as Forensic Psychiatry Experts - in order to meet their unique needs."
According to Gazzolo, the new site has the most comprehensive database of its kind available on the Internet and is the premier online directory of experts and services for the legal profession.
"With the launch of this newly expanded directory on the Web, we’ve made it easier for law firms to obtain valuable legal services and have also created the most visible platform from which service providers can showcase what they have to offer law firms," said Gazzolo.
To search the Experts & Services directory, go to www.martindale/com/resources. Information about how to be listed in the directory is available on the same Web site, or by calling (800) 526-4902, ext. 8010.
