Lexis+ is a legal research tool used to resolve legal research issues through its case law collection, editorial analysis, and data visualization, which are all accessed via one simplified AI search experience.
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 highly customizable and intuitive, perfect for solo or small practitioners who lack the patience for extended training and too much searching. The contracts are also customizable and can be graduated for new practices so you don't go broke in year one paying for research. I do wish there was more contact with a dedicated account rep, and perhaps not with sales. In a larger firm, you can stack more features and content as needed. I probably would go back in time and renegotiate my contract, which stepped up quite a lot in year two and will step up again in year 3 to what I think will be an uncomfortable level. Also, Lexis has maybe one too many brands and could stand a redesign of the main home page.
Very intuitive, easy to use visual qualitative assessments, and I like that they don't "summarize" rules but give exact quotes from cases. The product is super customizable and you can try before you buy. Unlike their main competitor, I don't feel like they tricked me or set me up to purchase more content that I don't need--so in terms of service and overall functionality, they are superior to the competition.
HotDocs was very inefficient, not as user-friendly, had a more convoluted interface, and it took a lot of time to go back and edit previously drafted documents.
Lexis Advance and Westlaw do the same thing and are very comparable. We actually use both. If Lexis Advanced doesn't have content we are looking for, it can usually be found in Westlaw. They compliment each other well. If I had to pick one over the other I would choose Lexis Advanced, but it's close.
