5 Ways Law Firms Will Benefit from LexisNexis Integration with Infodash

By: LexisNexis

An important collaboration was announced this month that represents a step forward in legal information integration, allowing law firms to leverage external data more effectively alongside their proprietary internal data.

Infodash, a leader in legal intranet and extranet solutions for Am Law 200 law firms, will soon be integrated with the unsurpassed authoritative legal research content from LexisNexis.

Combining Internal and External Knowledge

The collaboration will provide law firms with access to news, docketing information and other critical legal resources from LexisNexis, combining those information assets with internal firm knowledge and other data, all without requiring any coding expertise.

The integration is available to existing law firm customers of Infodash and customers of the Legal Data API (Application Programming Interface) tool from LexisNexis. An API is simply a connection between one computer system and another computer system that allows data to flow seamlessly between the two environments.

The Infodash legal collaboration platform gives law firms everything they need to build an intranet or extranet. The platform is integrated with Microsoft SharePoint and Teams, providing a centralized hub for data and information from other systems and platforms, which now includes LexisNexis legal research content.

Ted Theodoropoulos, CEO of Infodash, explained that the collaboration between the two companies will enable legal professionals to access a wealth of external data in the same place where they access their internal resources. This combination of internal and external knowledge will foster more informed decision-making and enhance overall firm performance, he said. Mr. Theodoropoulos was awarded the International Legal Technology Association (ILTA) Innovative Leader of the Year Award for 2024 for his work developing the Infodash platform.
