Lexis+ UK in practice
Real workflows from practitioners across UK firms — research, advisory and drafting.
Disputes — Associate
From question to answer in one search
A litigation associate asked a single question and Lexis+ UK searched legislation, case law and Practical Guidance together — returning a ranked result set she could refine in seconds.
Search Term Maps highlighted exactly where the key terms appeared; Answer Cards surfaced the specific point of law she needed.
Property — Partner
Defensible research, fast
A partner needed to confirm the current position on a niche landlord & tenant point ahead of a client call.
Halsbury's commentary, the relevant statute and a recent case were surfaced together — pinned into a Workfolder and shared with the team in one click.
Knowledge — PSL
Curating firm-wide research
A PSL set up Search Alerts on five key topics and pinned the most-used Halsbury's volumes for the litigation team.
The team got weekly email updates on developments and persistent links straight from the firm intranet to the authority — no time wasted re-searching.
