New version of market leading discovery software includes new interface, time-saving tools and integration with other LexisNexis litigation products

May 31, 2007 — Bellevue, WA, May 31, 2007 - LexisNexis, the leading provider of information and services solutions for the legal profession, today announced the release of the newest version of its market leading litigation management software, Concordance™ 2007. The enhanced software features a new user interface, new tools and integration with additional litigation support tools from LexisNexis allowing users to work faster and more effectively.

Concordance benefits more than 65,000 litigation professionals, including 95 of the top 100 U.S. law firms. It offers attorneys maximum control over the e-discovery and case management process, helping them identify, organize and analyze information throughout a legal case so they can collaborate with colleagues to formulate and execute winning litigation strategy.

New look, new tools for more control

In response to customer feedback, Concordance 2007 features a completely revised, Microsoft Outlook®-style user interface for greater attorney familiarity and easier navigation –promoting quick adoption and greater productivity.  This new interface is consistent with the built-in Concordance online review tool, FYI™. Whether users access litigation documents from their desktop, laptop or the web, they have a familiar and seamless experience.

“Concordance is flexible and works the way we want it to, rather than making us work the way the software wants us to. It is very powerful,” said Steven Loble of Loble Solicitors.

To reduce the time and cost of document review Concordance 2007 expands its e-mail import Wizard to bring e-mail and e-documents together into Concordance in a single step. The new version also includes Simple Search technology, allowing non-technical reviewers to quickly and effectively locate key documents with little prior Concordance experience. Additionally, it incorporates EverQuest’s Cognition® search technology to deliver significantly higher levels of relevant document search results than previous versions of Concordance.

“The new features and tools within Concordance 2007 demonstrate the LexisNexis commitment to offer clients the leading litigation management software in the industry,” said Craig Bennett, general manager of LexisNexis Concordance.

Integration increases choices

Additionally, Concordance 2007 users can take advantage of the LexisNexis position as the leader in providing integrated tools and services to manage cases at each and every stage of the litigation workflow.

For example, Concordance 2007 gives clients the choice to perform online research within the software through its integration with LexisNexis Total Litigator, an online destination providing litigators a complete and integrated set of tools and services to help them smoothly manage cases through each step of the litigation lifecycle.

Users simply highlight a subject in a document text with Concordance and send it to Total Litigator where a search can be conducted through the different online LexisNexis research sources for which the user has access.  Integration with Total Litigator makes Concordance 2007 the first litigation management software in the industry to offer the ability to perform legal research from discovery documents, increasing attorney productively and case knowledge.

Concordance 2007 also includes new time-saving integrations that give litigators the power to send a set of litigation documents from Concordance to CaseMap in bulk instead of one fact at a time. Additionally, users are able to link to Total Litigator from within Concordance navigation for access to other litigation support tools, such as CaseMap, File & Serve, Applied Discovery and CourtLink.

“The enhancements and integration of Concordance are only possible from an organization such as LexisNexis that possesses a complete continuum of litigation support tools and the technology leadership,” said Bennett. “This product exemplifies the LexisNexis ‘Total Practice Solutions&
