Easy access to practical guidance and "on point" legal content and
analysis help law firms increase productivity and bring junior attorneys
up to speed quickly
LexisNexis® Legal & Professional (www.lexisnexis.com),
a leading provider of content and technology solutions, today announced
a new module of its Web-based practical guidance offering from Lexis®
Practice Advisor addressing the needs of Bankruptcy attorneys. The
Financial Restructuring & Bankruptcy module was developed to help law
firms increase the productivity of their bankruptcy practices by
providing practical guidance, 'on point' content and analysis -- backed
by Collier on Bankruptcy®, the preeminent treatise in the
bankruptcy field. The module helps to bring junior attorneys up to speed
quickly, while enabling senior attorneys to save time, allowing them to
expand their practice and stay up-to-date with changes in the law.
The Financial Restructuring & Bankruptcy module for Lexis Practice
Advisor is an easy-to-use, intuitive legal information resource that
covers key topics of bankruptcy transactions - such as asset purchase
agreements, DIP financing, proofs of claims and more - from beginning to
end. Each topical area includes an overview and checklists, practical
guidance, model forms, legal analysis and emerging issues, as well as
cases and codes with directly relevant content from the Lexis®
service and Collier®, which complements and seamlessly links
into a firm's existing Lexis and Collier subscription when deeper
research is needed.
The selection of model forms includes contributions from leading
practitioners, forms from the Lexis service, as well as briefs,
pleadings and motions which have been filed with the bankruptcy courts.
'How to' information and practice notes for each topic are provided by
leading practitioners and contributing attorneys from world-class law
firms such as Cravath, Swaine & Moore LLP, Simpson Thacher & Bartlett
LLP and Milbank, Tweed, Hadley & McCloy LLP.
"In today's hyper-competitive law environment, practice productivity is
a primary focus for law firms, and this offering is the first to
effectively address the transactional aspects of the financial
restructuring and bankruptcy practice," said Suzanne Petren Moritz, vice
president and managing director for Lexis Practice Advisor. "It makes it
easy for junior attorneys to hit the ground running, increasing their
efficiencies so they can start billing faster, while more experienced
attorneys will be able to streamline their work, freeing up time for
their clients and to grow their practice."
By offering practical guidance from leading authorities on commercial
bankruptcy and financial restructuring law, the Lexis Practice Advisor
Financial Restructuring & Bankruptcy module helps ensure both new and
experienced attorneys have the trusted resources they need to expertly
advise their clients and handle their cases in an expeditious manner.
"Lexis Practice Advisor is a great place to start legal research. It
lays out the topics very clearly," said Anthony Napolitano, a senior
attorney at full-service law firm Buchalter Nemer. "The site is very
well organized so you can quickly find what you are looking for. It will
be a valuable asset in helping to increase practice efficiency."
The Financial Restructuring & Bankruptcy module for Lexis Practice
Advisor follows the successful introduction of the Business Law module
in January 2012, which covers commercial, contracts and corporate legal
topics. Additional Lexis Practice Advisor modules will be available
later this year, with the first jurisdictional module, California,
launching in summer 2012.
Lexis Practice Advisor is offered on an annual all-inclusive
subscription basis. It is available as a stand-alone product or in
conjunction with a Lexis subscription.
