The year started out with a trio of mergers in the legal information field when Thomson Reuters announced it was acquiring PLC, and Learnlive, and LexisNexis announced it was acquiring Knowledge Mosaic. The activity tappered off a bit after that initial first week flurry, but there have been a number of mergers, acquisitions and partnerships throughout 2013 and we thought we’d review what has changed this year.
- LexisNexis Acquires Knowledge Mosaic – Jan 2013
- Thomson Reuters (TR) Acquires PLC – Jan 2013
- TR Acquires LearnLive – Jan 2013
- TR and CQ Roll Call Alliance – Jan 2013
- Lexis Acquires 55 Titles from Oxford University Press – Mar 2013
- LexisNexis Acquires Sheshunoff and A.S. Pratt – May 2013
- IntApp Acquires DTE Axiom – June 2013
- Hein and Fastcase Announce Publishing Partnership – July 2013
- TransUnion Acquires TLO – Nov 2013

I’m sure we’ve missed a few other activities that happened in 2013. Feel free to add those in the comments.
