I had planned on writing an extensive review on the new release of LexisNexis’ “Lexis Advance” platform like I did back in March on their Advance for Associates platform. However, Bob Ambrogi did such a great job of it over at his LawSites blog, that I really didn’t want to re-hash what Bob already
After seeing the initial product some two years ago, I got to walk through the new LexisNexis Client Analysis (LNCA) products with Lexis’ Chris Whitmore.

When Reed Elsevier announced the retirement of its current CEO, Andy Prozes, it also outlined a change in how the LexisNexis business will be organized after January 1, 2011.
