Like lawyers who work in their own practice or in firms or agencies, corporate legal departments also are being pushed to be more productive and efficient, says Mike Suchsland, president of Corporate, Government and Academic, for Thomson Reuters, Legal, in the April 2010 edition of The Metropolitan Corporate Counsel.
Suchsland’s article, titled “Next Generation In Legal Research Drives Efficiency, Productivity And Confidence For Corporate Counsel,” outlines the benefits of WestlawNext to corporate counsel.
Suchsland says:
We believe a search system with this level of power will transform early case assessments (ECA) for corporate litigators, which in turn can further drive down department expenses. In addition, the powerful search capabilities of WestlawNext may be beneficial in helping identify recovery opportunities or culling IP assets to determine which are worth protecting or could be sold. And, for general counsel who work with a company’s business development team, WestlawNext will serve as an essential tool in vetting acquisition targets to determine potential risks and upside.
