LexisNexis Butterworth’s is the most comprehensive source of legal and tax commentary in the UK. It provides expert interpretation of the law, not just the law itself. Much of the content is exclusive. You can customise a content package, and you can also tailor the service to give you easy access to the information you need.

Everybody in your practice can access the same information, at the same time, from any location, instantly, at the click of a mouse – people no longer need to share the same precious volumes; they simply log onto the LexisNexis Butterworths website, at any office, at home or even on the go;

  • It makes research much, much quicker and easier – whatever you or your lawyers need to find, simply type your keywords into the search field and see all the results instantly. Then the service guides you to other relevant information enabling you to move seamlessly from cases to legislation to expert commentary;
  • You can be 100% confident, as it provides accurate and comprehensive information – search the most authoritative coverage of UK legal materials simultaneously, safe in the hands of the most trusted UK legal publishing house. What’s more, all the material can be downloaded to Microsoft Word for drafting;
  • You access constantly updated information – for instance, we provide a Stop Press twice a day to tell you when legislation has changed. And when the new Companies Act was released, it was available on LNB two weeks before any other online legal research service;
  • It is far less expensive than you think – if you subscribe to the entire online library, you could end up paying up to 75% less than if you subscribed to all the individual sources.
