Chose Lexis
Bloomberg has excellent news reporting and excellent docket information access.
Westlaw is the Cadillac of legal search engines. It is way faster, way easier to read. BUT Lexis has way more state and trial court cases. So Lexis has more data than Westlaw, and that makes a huge difference.
Lexis has the history that iWave does not. Plus it has the legal search. The business search is better in terms of News (iWave doesn't have one), but iWave does a better job of aggregating more useful sites. Also, iWave has philanthropic gifts, which is useful to us. We …
Much less costly than Westlaw, often half the cost or even less. The secondary sources are much more difficult to trudge through on Lexis than on Westlaw. The Shepherdizing system is world class on Lexis. It's fine on Westlaw, too. Ultimately we selected Lexis for the time that …
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 …
When I was starting out as a solo, I needed case research and I could not afford to dump all of my profits into my tech stack. Lexis was so helpful and seemed to really understand that a new business venture needed a deal at the start. I loved how supported I felt as a new business and how much they try to work with me as we grow
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.
Legal Research is top notch. The results are current and almost always relevant
Filtering - Results can be filtered by State Court, Federal Court (and all districts), Practice area (Medial Malpractice, Mass Tort, Personal Injury etc ...)
Availability - Lexis Advanced site is always up, I have never had any issues connecting to Lexis Advanced when I needed to research something
There are a few places in the business search, where you don't have the option of narrowing your search using the "include/exclude" option that is on other searches. That is a pain.
But legal search is easy as is the general public documents research.
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.
