- Serves multiple segments including small firms, large firms, corporate counsel, government, and academia
Cons
- Pricing is entirely opaque — requires contacting sales with no published price points
- The sheer number of separate products (Lexis+, Nexis, CourtLink, Context, etc.) can be confusing to navigate
