Lexis Advance Quicklaw vs. Lexis for Microsoft Office

Well suited for case law research across many areas of law in Canada. Specifically found that it works well for extensive research where there are lots of things going on. It works well for reviewing precedents that need to be considered to make decisions for taking a decision. Less suitable for situations where we need access to real documents from the courts such as decisions or motions as Lexis doesn’t have that.

Using Lexis for Microsoft Office in our office was a game changer. We were previously using another form generation program, and it was glitchy, operated exclusively on our server which caused lag, and it took a lot of time to edit the forms for any changes. Lexis for Microsoft Office streamlined everything and because it is cloud-based, it operates smoothly and efficiently. The interface is extremely user-friendly, and we've noticed that producing forms are way more efficient now.

Lexis Advance is way better in terms of usability and search features. The content is pretty much the same for both platforms except in Litigation where WestLaw is much stronger than Lexis. However, the Feature functionality of Lexis is a lot better to keep users efficient and productive and collaboration is also good.
