Following overwhelming success in the UK, Australia, New Zealand, China, Hong Kong and Singapore, LexisNexis®, one of the world’s leading providers of content-enabled workflow solutions, did a multi-city launch for its all-new, innovative online workflow-based solution - Lexis® Practical Guidance in New Delhi, Mumbai, and Bengaluru, on July 26, 27 and 28, 2016 respectively, in presence of distinguished dignitaries like Dr. Lalit Bhasin, President, Society of Indian Law Firms (SILF) and Mr. Ashok Sharma, President, Indian Corporate Counsel Association (ICCA), along with eminent members from the Society of Indian Law Firms (SILF) and the Indian Corporate Counsel Association (ICCA), and several other senior law firm partners, senior advocates and corporate and general counsels.
Welcoming the dignitaries who were present and briefing them on the need of Lexis® Practical Guidance, Mohan Ramaswamy, Managing Director, LexisNexis® India – South Asia, said, “If you look into the legal process dynamics, you will discover that more than 40% of the time of in-house counsels and partners is spent on drafting, conveyance and legal research, leaving them with little time for business development or exploring new opportunities in new areas of law. Moreover, non-availability of trusted legal updates makes the research process more time and labour consuming. No doubt, about 85-90% of the corporate lawyers see technology tools as key efficiency drivers. With Lexis® Practical Guidance, we have tried to re-engineer how work is done and, in particular, how we can make operations quick, trackable and efficient, saving both time and money.” He also mentioned that for India, LexisNexis® has specifically developed premium content in partnership with the Society of Indian law firms (SILF) and some eminent corporate general counsels, uniquely aimed at the Indian market, with currently offering modules in Companies Act, Mergers and Acquisitions, FEMA, Commercial Contracts and Enterprise Compliance Management, with many more in the pipeline.”
Expounding on the association between SILF and LexisNexis India, Dr. Lalit Bhasin, President, Society of Indian Law Firms (SILF), said, "Our partnership with LexisNexis® is to be recognized as the leading association in India for the betterment of the legal landscape, providing futuristic solutions to today’s challenges.
