LexisNexis Acquires IDEX, Inc.

October 30, 2008

LexisNexis® Expands Litigation and Client Development Portfolio with Market Leading Expert Witness Content

October 30, 2008 — New York, NY, October 30, 2009 - LexisNexis, a leading global provider of content-enabled workflow solutions, today announced that it has acquired IDEX, Inc. Financial terms of the acquisition were not disclosed.

Based in Overland Park, Kansas; IDEX is a leading provider of expert witness content to the legal market. The company maintains an authoritative, exclusive database of more than 1,000,000 records on 200,000-plus experts - including expert profiles, testimonial histories, verdict awards, settlement amounts, authored content, and expert depositions and court testimony.


The acquisition solidifies the position of LexisNexis as a leading provider of expert witness identification and evaluation information. New content from IDEX® complements expert witness data currently available from LexisNexis® through market leading directories, court dockets, documents, briefs, and public records offered through its lexis.com®, Martindale-Hubbell®, LexisNexis® Total Litigator, CourtLink®, and CaseMap® platforms.


Litigators will benefit with access to a comprehensive set of expert witness information enabling them to more confidently and quickly identify leading experts, perform due diligence on experts that they might consider hiring, and thoroughly research opposing experts. Integration of this content into the LexisNexis suite of litigation case assessment tools, including CaseMap and Total Litigator, delivers key litigation workflow efficiency and analytical aids essential to today's litigators. 


"An expert witness can have a critical impact on a case; and as such, expert intelligence is a powerful asset in combating uncertainty. Whether selecting an expert, or researching the opposition's, smart litigators are profiling experts along with the other key players in the case - witnesses, judges and opposing counsel, to gain an edge in the early case assessment and case strategy process," said Allan McLaughlin, senior vice president of the LexisNexis Research, Litigation & Business Information Solutions organization. "The integration of IDEX content to our set of litigation workflow tools means that users will not only be able to get that valuable expert information quickly and easily, but they'll do so in context as they work on assessing and managing their case."


"IDEX resources are a perfect fit for what LexisNexis is doing to enhance and build upon litigation services, research content and client development offerings," said Robert L. White, president and chief executive officer of IDEX, Inc. "I am very pleased that IDEX is becoming part of a user-friendly company that demonstrates a continued commitment to providing clients with a comprehensive set of litigation solutions."


As part of the acquisition, IDEX expert witness information will also bolster the client development offering from LexisNexis. In particular, IDEX content will expand the Martindale-Hubbell® Experts & Services Directory to enhance it as a valuable resource to help lawyers to find and hire expert witnesses.
