Robert Lemmond Appointed President & CEO of 
Wolters Kluwer Law & Business. Promises 
“Customer First” Strategy. 
This week Wolters Kluwer Legal & 
Regulatory announced the 
appointment of Robert Lemmond as 
President & CEO of Wolters Kluwer 
Law & Business. Lemmond, joined 
Wolters Kluwer in 2011 as Vice 
President of the Law & Business Legal Markets Group. He previously held executive 
positions at several content and software companies including IHS, Primark, Disclosure, 
Northern Light. He replaces Mark Dorman. 
Why this is good news for Wolters Kluwer 
Over the past decade I was slowly coming to the conclusion 
that WK had seen its best days. They were destined to be 
bought or slowly fade away. They had good solid products but 
they seemed to be losing momentum. The Standard Federal 
Tax Reporter retained iconic status for tax lawyers. WKs suite of 
business titles were solid staples for securities, banking, trade 
and host of other practices. WK was one of the first major 
publishers to digitize their publications with the release of cd-roms 
in the early 1990s. They purchased Loislaw a low cost 
research alternative to Lexis and Westlaw in 2000. They owned 
a suite of esteemed treatises from Aspen Publishing. But the 
2009 release of the Intelliconnect platform was a 
disappointment. Their biggest limitation was the absence of a 
full blown citator system to help lawyers verify that the cases 
they were citing had not been overturned. When Bloomberg 
Law was released in 2011, Greg Lambert in his 3 Geeks and a 
Law blog pointed out that Blaw had stepped in and made 
the move everyone was waiting for Wolters Kluwer to 
make. WK owned lots of great pieces but couldn't seem 
to weave then into a whole.

The Problem Wasn’t Just the Products Over the years I had found WK pricing and 
contracts to be stubbornly out of touch with the law firm demands for efficiency and cost 
control. They tied online contracts to the retention of print. The pricing structure was 
opaque. A law firm couldn’t cancel a print subscription even when it was no longer 
needed. There seemed to be no way to cut the WK spending short of cancelling 
everything and returning as a new customer. It really got ugly following the 2007 financial 
crisis. Law firm attorney counts were falling and budgets were being slashed. Many 
publishers agreed to suspend or modify existing contracts as an investment in future 
"good will." Not Wolters Kluwer! They were spectacularly indifferent. An executive agreed 
to meet with me at the annual AALL conference so I could plead my case in person. He 
reacted as if I was reading him a page from a phone directory. It was a brief, polite and yet 
pointless exercise. I walked away wondering if he had heard a word I had said. 
Bob Likes to Listen Since Bob Lemmond arrived at WK in 2011 he has been on a 
mission to learn about customers. He likes to listen to customers! He created advisory 
councils of librarians and attorneys. He traveled around the country meeting with key 
customers. During a call this week, Lemmond said he is especially interested developing a 
close partnership with the librarian community because they have such deep research 
expertise and are focused on the quality of information. In the past two years there has 
also been a steady stream of changes in the tone of client communications, the 
introduction of new products, innovative licensing schemes and new pricing models for 
products. Lemmond doesn't take credit for all the changes but the timing is curiously 
aligned. 
Recent WK Law & Business Initiatives Include: 
Establishing Insight Leaders Councils 
Expanding the new RB Source platform which is more intuitive than 
Intelliconnect 
Releasing a series of practice dailies which are clearly positioned to compete 
with the Law360. 
Offering pioneering licensing models for the newsletters which allows lawyers 
to share content with clients and post certain content on the law firm website. 
Entering a relationship with Thomson Reuters to distribute WK newsletters on 
the Westlaw platform 
Offering new pricing options which anticipate the ongoing shift from print to 
digital and which allows customers to permanently migrate lawyers off of print 
resources. 
The War Between the SuperSystems For the past 2 years everyone has been watching 
the 3 way tug-of -war for market share between Blaw, Westlaw and Lexis. I suspect that 
WK is not going to jump into that end of the pool. During this week's call Lemmond 
indicated that there would be no major change in direction for WK. However, he was 
confident that the company had the right pieces in place to expand market share with 
practice focused workflow solutions which enhance productivity and provide expert 
guidance. 
Budgets are still tight in law firms, so focusing on productivity enhancing expert 
systems instead of competing directly with the SuperSystems may provide the right lever 
for growth in the current market. 
Keep the phoneline open. The next voice you hear may be Bob Lemmond calling.

Wolters Kluwer Launching Daily Reporting Suite: 
Built for Collaboration and Copyright Compliance 
Wolters Kluwer Law & Business, is announcing today the release of the Wolters Kluwer 
Daily Reporting Suite. 
There is nothing radical about a leading legal publisher jumping into the fierce competition 
for current awareness market share. What is radical in WK's announcement is the casual, 
almost off- handed reference to "automatic copyright compliance." 
WK Trusts You - Yes They Really Trust You! 
Every publisher, pronounces their profound commitment to supporting lawyers and 
improving workflow. They build tools for collaboration but generally exclude clients 
(anyone outside your organization or your network) from being permitted users of the 
licensed content. And who do lawyers most want to collaborate with? CLIENTS! 
One of the things that has driven me batty over the years is the disconnect between 
product licensing and workflow. If you send a lawyer content - you need to assume that 
they need to share it. WK is removing the "licensing handcuffs"and stating unambiguously 
that lawyers are free to share content with colleagues and clients. Hallelujah! 
Over the years this is something that law librarians have to deal with on an ad hoc basis. 
A lawyer wants to share "hot news" with their client. No leading publisher has had an 
efficient system to deal with this. A response may come in a few hours... or a few days. 
Worst of all is the " the wink and a nod approach"... we will give you permission .... we 
won't come after you - trust us - but we can't put it in writing...." 
I asked Bob Lemmond, Vice President of Wolters Kluwer, Law and Business about the 
rationale for this dramatic break with traditional position of newsletter publishers. 
Lemmond indicated that it is a recognition of the nature of lawyers workflow. "It is 
imperative that we support lawyers collaboration with each other and with their clients." 
WK also expects to be soliciting content from law firms for distribution on their platforms. 
Wolters Kluwer Daily Reporting Suite 
Last July I wrote a post about the release of two new daily newsletters from Wolters 
Kluwer on Employment and IP Law which would also available on Westlaw due to a 
special agreement with Thomson Reuters. 
Today's release expands and re-brands the daily newsletters as part of a growing suite of 
current awareness products which are focused on the "hottest" practice and most complex 
practices.. The Daily Reporting Suite which includes:: Antitrust, Securities Regulation, 
Health Law, Employment Law and Intellectual Property. All of the newsletters except 
Securities Regulation will be available on the Westlaw Next platform. Securities 
Regulation will require a direct subscription from Wolters Kluwer.
Pricing Without quoting any numbers, Lemmond assured me that WK will be offering 
Information professionals a pricing package for the bundle of all the products would be 
"very compelling." 
The Content These daily news services will deliver breaking news from both the federal 
and state level, the latest rulemaking and updates on litigation as well as a complete 
summary of the daily legal news. 
Mobility Rules The products will be delivered via email, RSS feed, and mobile apps for 
iPad, iPhone, Blackberry, and Android. 
Here are the features outlined in the press release 
Daily email summaries written by knowledgeable attorneys and industry 
experts with links to the full text of any new cases, regulatory or statutory 
developments, and breaking news 
Seamless access to information from ANY mobile device without being 
prompted for logins/passwords. Other legal news services require logins 
creating unnecessary time delays. 
The ability to customize content by topical area and jurisdiction so users can 
view the content that is the most relevant to them 
Built-in copyright permissions that permit legal professionals to instantly share 
information with clients or colleagues without having to download or 
reassemble information. 
Time-saving mobile apps with customizable home page, ability to filter by 
topic/jurisdiction, note-taking capabilities, favorites folders and email 
functionality 
A searchable archive on Wolters Kluwer’s proprietary online content delivery 
platform, IntelliConnect. 
The expansion of both the content and delivery platforms suggest that Wolters Kluwer is 
targeting a legal "newsletter" niche currently dominated by Bloomberg BNA and Law 
360. However WK seems to have focused more on customization of both content and 
delivery from the start than their competition have. They are clearly ahead of the entire 
market in embracing the need to allow lawyers to legally "socialize" their content.

Breaking News: Thomson Reuters and Wolters 
Kluwer Law & Business Joining Forces on Current 
Awareness 
Back in December I wrote a post speculating on 
the possibility of a Wolters Kluwer Thomson 
Reuters Merger. While no merger has come to 
pass, a new alliance was just announced. 
I have been noticing some positive changes at 
Wolters Kluwer for the past few months. I have had 
several conversations with Bob Lemmond the 
new Vice President & General Manager, Law & 
Business. 
He seems genuinely interested in understanding customer needs in the very changed 
legal marketplace. He also assembled the first ever Law Librarian Advisory group. On the 
product side the new product RB Source is a slick and highly intuitive version of the 
Securities Act Handbook that I think bodes well for the future. Since RB Source is using 
a new digital platform. it is an encouraging sign that WK may be preparing to step away 
from the troubled Intelliconnect platform. So with today's announcement that WK and
Thomson Reuters are going to collaborate on current awareness products we may 
be witnessing the beginning of another major reshuffling of the legal information market. 
What's in it for Thomson Reuters? Perhaps this the long anticipated response to 
Bloomberg Law's acquisition of the Bureau of National Affairs in 2011. 
Here is what is happening: 
The new current awareness products on Westlaw will combine news, primary 
law such as statutes, judicial opinions and regulations, dockets, court wire 
content and other sources, and will be enhanced with legal analysis from 
attorney editors. 
The first two products launched will include Wolters Kluwer’s unique current 
awareness dailies, Employment Law Daily and IP Law Daily, and secondary 
source content across a range of practice areas in law and business 
compliance will be added to WestlawNext. 
Other new products that provide analysis and insight into key business topics 
are already being developed and will be rolled out over the next several 
quarters. 
Moving forward, on-point information will be pushed to customers where they 
are, synthesized into usable formats, with links to deeper sources. 
Here is the press release: 
Thomson Reuters and Wolters Kluwer Law & Business Joining Forces on Current 
Awareness 
The companies have entered into an agreement to offer Wolters Kluwer current 
awareness products on Westlaw, joint development of new products, bolsters Westlaw 
offering and extends Wolters Kluwer’s reach 
Eagan, MN, (July 18, 2012) –Thomson Reuters and Wolters Kluwer Law & Business will 
join forces to offer select Wolters Kluwer current awareness content on Thomson Reuters 
Westlaw online legal research platforms. The exclusive agreement will add Wolters 
Kluwer’s current awareness products – daily awareness of breaking legal developments 
which have been analyzed and contextualized by attorney-editors – to the comprehensive 
legal research databases, news and tools on Westlaw. The two businesses also will 
collaborate on current awareness product development. 
The new current awareness products on Westlaw will combine news, primary law such as 
statutes, judicial opinions and regulations, dockets, court wire content and other sources, 
and will be enhanced with legal analysis from attorney editors. The first two products 
launched will include Wolters Kluwer’s unique current awareness dailies, Employment 
Law Daily and IP Law Daily, and secondary source content across a range of practice 
areas in law and business compliance will be added to WestlawNext. Other new products 
that provide analysis and insight into key business topics are already being developed and 
will be rolled out over the next several quarters. Moving forward, on-point information will 
be pushed to customers where they are, synthesized into usable formats, with links to 
deeper sources. 
The two businesses see an opportunity to leverage best-in-class analytical and 
authoritative Wolters Kluwer Law & Business content; current Westlaw news content, 
including more than 12,000 databases of news in the Thomson Reuters Newsroom 
collection and exclusive reporting from Reuters News; and the market-leading primary and 
analytical content on Westlaw, to bring a new level of market insight to the current 
awareness marketplace. 
According to Leann Blanchfield, vice president of Product Development at Thomson 
Reuters, current awareness information is a key part of every attorney’s workflow. It helps 
legal professionals stay up to speed in today’s highly competitive environment, and 
attorneys also rely on news, analysis and insight to identify clients and create winning 
pitches. “Wolters Kluwer Law & Business current awareness content is unique and 
indispensable to busy lawyers who require expert analysis and contextualization of 
rapidly-changing areas of the law,” said Blanchfield. “Its current awareness products 
provide original, attorney-authored analysis that puts context around breaking legal 
developments. They are seen as an essential tool to help busy lawyers stay up-to-date on 
vital developments in their field. Working together, Thomson Reuters and Wolters Kluwer 
will create a unique marriage between current awareness and deep research for the legal 
marketplace.”
“Wolters Kluwer’s current awareness legal dailies are all created by attorneys for 
attorneys, and are an essential tool for lawyers to put breaking legal news, decisions, and 
rulemaking in broad context and apply the industry’s leading level of analysis to highly 
complex and rapidly-changing areas of the law,” said Robert Lemmond, vice president of 
the Legal Markets Group at Wolters Kluwer. “This collaborative relationship with Thomson 
Reuters will enable us to deliver breaking news content to the entire family of Westlaw 
customers, and we are looking forward to working with the Thomson Reuters team to 
develop new current awareness products for legal professionals that allow them to work 
more efficiently.” 
Lemmond said the sweet spot for the market is the convergence of current awareness and 
deep primary and analytical content. “We are uniquely positioned to bring together domain 
expertise with specialized proprietary content, and add the insights of a seasoned team of 
attorney editors and analysts,” he said. 
Blanchfield agreed. "The combination of Wolters Kluwer's reporting depth and domain 
expertise, with the breadth of Thomson Reuters news and current awareness capabilities 
and the insight and content of the Westlaw research service is quite powerful. For 
customers, it will mean a current awareness offering that promises an entirely new level of 
insight and foresight. We’re excited to be working together.”

Dewey B Strategic_ Robert Lemmond

  • 1. 0 More Next Blog» Create Blog Sign In Dewey B Strategic*: Risk, value, strategy, libraries, knowledge and the legal profession. Home Events Publications Honors FRIDAY, JUNE 14, 2013 Robert Lemmond Appointed President & CEO of Wolters Kluwer Law & Business. Promises “Customer First” Strategy. This week Wolters Kluwer Legal & Regulatory announced the appointment of Robert Lemmond as President & CEO of Wolters Kluwer Law & Business. Lemmond, joined Wolters Kluwer in 2011 as Vice President of the Law & Business Legal Markets Group. He previously held executive positions at several content and software companies including IHS, Primark, Disclosure, Northern Light. He replaces Mark Dorman. Why this is good news for Wolters Kluwer Over the past decade I was slowly coming to the conclusion that WK had seen its best days. They were destined to be bought or slowly fade away. They had good solid products but they seemed to be losing momentum. The Standard Federal Tax Reporter retained iconic status for tax lawyers. WKs suite of business titles were solid staples for securities, banking, trade and host of other practices. WK was one of the first major publishers to digitize their publications with the release of cd-roms in the early 1990s. They purchased Loislaw a low cost research alternative to Lexis and Westlaw in 2000. They owned a suite of esteemed treatises from Aspen Publishing. But the 2009 release of the Intelliconnect platform was a disappointment. Their biggest limitation was the absence of a full blown citator system to help lawyers verify that the cases they were citing had not been overturned. When Bloomberg Law was released in 2011, Greg Lambert in his 3 Geeks and a Law blog pointed out that Blaw had stepped in and made the move everyone was waiting for Wolters Kluwer to make. WK owned lots of great pieces but couldn't seem to weave then into a whole. Robert Lemmond *Hat tip to Melville Dewey, 19th century efficiency reformer, founder of the first School of Library Economy, and inventor of the eponymous decimal classification system based on Sir Francis Bacon's outline of human knowledge.

  • 2. The Problem Wasn’t Just the Products Over the years I had found WK pricing and contracts to be stubbornly out of touch with the law firm demands for efficiency and cost control. They tied online contracts to the retention of print. The pricing structure was opaque. A law firm couldn’t cancel a print subscription even when it was no longer needed. There seemed to be no way to cut the WK spending short of cancelling everything and returning as a new customer. It really got ugly following the 2007 financial crisis. Law firm attorney counts were falling and budgets were being slashed. Many publishers agreed to suspend or modify existing contracts as an investment in future "good will." Not Wolters Kluwer! They were spectacularly indifferent. An executive agreed to meet with me at the annual AALL conference so I could plead my case in person. He reacted as if I was reading him a page from a phone directory. It was a brief, polite and yet pointless exercise. I walked away wondering if he had heard a word I had said. Bob Likes to Listen Since Bob Lemmond arrived at WK in 2011 he has been on a mission to learn about customers. He likes to listen to customers! He created advisory councils of librarians and attorneys. He traveled around the country meeting with key customers. During a call this week, Lemmond said he is especially interested developing a close partnership with the librarian community because they have such deep research expertise and are focused on the quality of information. In the past two years there has also been a steady stream of changes in the tone of client communications, the introduction of new products, innovative licensing schemes and new pricing models for products. Lemmond doesn't take credit for all the changes but the timing is curiously aligned. Recent WK Law & Business Initiatives Include: Establishing Insight Leaders Councils Expanding the new RB Source platform which is more intuitive than Intelliconnect Releasing a series of practice dailies which are clearly positioned to compete with the Law360. Offering pioneering licensing models for the newsletters which allows lawyers to share content with clients and post certain content on the law firm website. Entering a relationship with Thomson Reuters to distribute WK newsletters on the Westlaw platform Offering new pricing options which anticipate the ongoing shift from print to digital and which allows customers to permanently migrate lawyers off of print resources. The War Between the SuperSystems For the past 2 years everyone has been watching the 3 way tug-of -war for market share between Blaw, Westlaw and Lexis. I suspect that WK is not going to jump into that end of the pool. During this week's call Lemmond indicated that there would be no major change in direction for WK. However, he was confident that the company had the right pieces in place to expand market share with practice focused workflow solutions which enhance productivity and provide expert guidance. Budgets are still tight in law firms, so focusing on productivity enhancing expert systems instead of competing directly with the SuperSystems may provide the right lever for growth in the current market. Keep the phoneline open. The next voice you hear may be Bob Lemmond calling. ___________________________ Related Posts: News You Can Use: Wolters Kluwer Continues to Bring Sanity to Digital Licensing Wolters Kluwer Launching Daily Reporting Suite Built for Collaboration and Copright Compliance Nancy McKinstry, Wolters Kluwer CEO On Leadership Strategies and the Importance of Law Librarians In the New Information Environment.

  • 3. Posted by Jean P. O'Grady, J.D. M.L.S. at 12:50 AM 1 comment: Links to this post Labels: Bloomberg Law, Law360, LexisNexis, Reed Elsevier, Robert Lemmond, Thomson Reuters, Westlaw, Wolters Kluwer MONDAY, DECEMBER 3, 2012 Wolters Kluwer Launching Daily Reporting Suite: Built for Collaboration and Copyright Compliance Wolters Kluwer Law & Business, is announcing today the release of the Wolters Kluwer Daily Reporting Suite. There is nothing radical about a leading legal publisher jumping into the fierce competition for current awareness market share. What is radical in WK's announcement is the casual, almost off- handed reference to "automatic copyright compliance." WK Trusts You - Yes They Really Trust You! Every publisher, pronounces their profound commitment to supporting lawyers and improving workflow. They build tools for collaboration but generally exclude clients (anyone outside your organization or your network) from being permitted users of the licensed content. And who do lawyers most want to collaborate with? CLIENTS! One of the things that has driven me batty over the years is the disconnect between product licensing and workflow. If you send a lawyer content - you need to assume that they need to share it. WK is removing the "licensing handcuffs"and stating unambiguously that lawyers are free to share content with colleagues and clients. Hallelujah! Over the years this is something that law librarians have to deal with on an ad hoc basis. A lawyer wants to share "hot news" with their client. No leading publisher has had an efficient system to deal with this. A response may come in a few hours... or a few days. Worst of all is the " the wink and a nod approach"... we will give you permission .... we won't come after you - trust us - but we can't put it in writing...." I asked Bob Lemmond, Vice President of Wolters Kluwer, Law and Business about the rationale for this dramatic break with traditional position of newsletter publishers. Lemmond indicated that it is a recognition of the nature of lawyers workflow. "It is imperative that we support lawyers collaboration with each other and with their clients." WK also expects to be soliciting content from law firms for distribution on their platforms. Wolters Kluwer Daily Reporting Suite Last July I wrote a post about the release of two new daily newsletters from Wolters Kluwer on Employment and IP Law which would also available on Westlaw due to a special agreement with Thomson Reuters. Today's release expands and re-brands the daily newsletters as part of a growing suite of current awareness products which are focused on the "hottest" practice and most complex practices.. The Daily Reporting Suite which includes:: Antitrust, Securities Regulation, Health Law, Employment Law and Intellectual Property. All of the newsletters except Securities Regulation will be available on the Westlaw Next platform. Securities Regulation will require a direct subscription from Wolters Kluwer.
  • 4. Pricing Without quoting any numbers, Lemmond assured me that WK will be offering Information professionals a pricing package for the bundle of all the products would be "very compelling." The Content These daily news services will deliver breaking news from both the federal and state level, the latest rulemaking and updates on litigation as well as a complete summary of the daily legal news. Mobility Rules The products will be delivered via email, RSS feed, and mobile apps for iPad, iPhone, Blackberry, and Android. Here are the features outlined in the press release Daily email summaries written by knowledgeable attorneys and industry experts with links to the full text of any new cases, regulatory or statutory developments, and breaking news Seamless access to information from ANY mobile device without being prompted for logins/passwords. Other legal news services require logins creating unnecessary time delays. The ability to customize content by topical area and jurisdiction so users can view the content that is the most relevant to them Built-in copyright permissions that permit legal professionals to instantly share information with clients or colleagues without having to download or reassemble information. Time-saving mobile apps with customizable home page, ability to filter by topic/jurisdiction, note-taking capabilities, favorites folders and email functionality A searchable archive on Wolters Kluwer’s proprietary online content delivery platform, IntelliConnect. The expansion of both the content and delivery platforms suggest that Wolters Kluwer is targeting a legal "newsletter" niche currently dominated by Bloomberg BNA and Law 360. However WK seems to have focused more on customization of both content and delivery from the start than their competition have. They are clearly ahead of the entire market in embracing the need to allow lawyers to legally "socialize" their content. Posted by Jean P. O'Grady, J.D.

While no merger has come to pass, a new alliance was just announced. I have been noticing some positive changes at Wolters Kluwer for the past few months. I have had several conversations with Bob Lemmond the new Vice President & General Manager, Law & Business. He seems genuinely interested in understanding customer needs in the very changed legal marketplace. He also assembled the first ever Law Librarian Advisory group. On the product side the new product RB Source is a slick and highly intuitive version of the Securities Act Handbook that I think bodes well for the future. Since RB Source is using a new digital platform. it is an encouraging sign that WK may be preparing to step away from the troubled Intelliconnect platform. So with today's announcement that WK and
  • 5. Thomson Reuters are going to collaborate on current awareness products we may be witnessing the beginning of another major reshuffling of the legal information market. What's in it for Thomson Reuters? Perhaps this the long anticipated response to Bloomberg Law's acquisition of the Bureau of National Affairs in 2011. Here is what is happening: The new current awareness products on Westlaw will combine news, primary law such as statutes, judicial opinions and regulations, dockets, court wire content and other sources, and will be enhanced with legal analysis from attorney editors. The first two products launched will include Wolters Kluwer’s unique current awareness dailies, Employment Law Daily and IP Law Daily, and secondary source content across a range of practice areas in law and business compliance will be added to WestlawNext. Other new products that provide analysis and insight into key business topics are already being developed and will be rolled out over the next several quarters. Moving forward, on-point information will be pushed to customers where they are, synthesized into usable formats, with links to deeper sources. Here is the press release: Thomson Reuters and Wolters Kluwer Law & Business Joining Forces on Current Awareness The companies have entered into an agreement to offer Wolters Kluwer current awareness products on Westlaw, joint development of new products, bolsters Westlaw offering and extends Wolters Kluwer’s reach Eagan, MN, (July 18, 2012) –Thomson Reuters and Wolters Kluwer Law & Business will join forces to offer select Wolters Kluwer current awareness content on Thomson Reuters Westlaw online legal research platforms. The exclusive agreement will add Wolters Kluwer’s current awareness products – daily awareness of breaking legal developments which have been analyzed and contextualized by attorney-editors – to the comprehensive legal research databases, news and tools on Westlaw. The two businesses also will collaborate on current awareness product development. The new current awareness products on Westlaw will combine news, primary law such as statutes, judicial opinions and regulations, dockets, court wire content and other sources, and will be enhanced with legal analysis from attorney editors. The first two products launched will include Wolters Kluwer’s unique current awareness dailies, Employment Law Daily and IP Law Daily, and secondary source content across a range of practice areas in law and business compliance will be added to WestlawNext. Other new products that provide analysis and insight into key business topics are already being developed and will be rolled out over the next several quarters. Moving forward, on-point information will be pushed to customers where they are, synthesized into usable formats, with links to deeper sources. The two businesses see an opportunity to leverage best-in-class analytical and authoritative Wolters Kluwer Law & Business content; current Westlaw news content, including more than 12,000 databases of news in the Thomson Reuters Newsroom collection and exclusive reporting from Reuters News; and the market-leading primary and analytical content on Westlaw, to bring a new level of market insight to the current awareness marketplace. According to Leann Blanchfield, vice president of Product Development at Thomson Reuters, current awareness information is a key part of every attorney’s workflow. It helps legal professionals stay up to speed in today’s highly competitive environment, and attorneys also rely on news, analysis and insight to identify clients and create winning pitches. “Wolters Kluwer Law & Business current awareness content is unique and indispensable to busy lawyers who require expert analysis and contextualization of rapidly-changing areas of the law,” said Blanchfield. “Its current awareness products provide original, attorney-authored analysis that puts context around breaking legal developments. They are seen as an essential tool to help busy lawyers stay up-to-date on vital developments in their field. Working together, Thomson Reuters and Wolters Kluwer will create a unique marriage between current awareness and deep research for the legal marketplace.”
  • 6. “Wolters Kluwer’s current awareness legal dailies are all created by attorneys for attorneys, and are an essential tool for lawyers to put breaking legal news, decisions, and rulemaking in broad context and apply the industry’s leading level of analysis to highly complex and rapidly-changing areas of the law,” said Robert Lemmond, vice president of the Legal Markets Group at Wolters Kluwer. “This collaborative relationship with Thomson Reuters will enable us to deliver breaking news content to the entire family of Westlaw customers, and we are looking forward to working with the Thomson Reuters team to develop new current awareness products for legal professionals that allow them to work more efficiently.” Lemmond said the sweet spot for the market is the convergence of current awareness and deep primary and analytical content. “We are uniquely positioned to bring together domain expertise with specialized proprietary content, and add the insights of a seasoned team of attorney editors and analysts,” he said. Blanchfield agreed. "The combination of Wolters Kluwer's reporting depth and domain expertise, with the breadth of Thomson Reuters news and current awareness capabilities and the insight and content of the Westlaw research service is quite powerful. For customers, it will mean a current awareness offering that promises an entirely new level of insight and foresight. We’re excited to be working together.” ABOUT WOLTERS KLUWER LAW & BUSINESS Wolters Kluwer Law & Business is a leading provider of research products and software solutions in key specialty areas for legal and business professionals, as well as casebooks and study aids for law students.
