By partnering with Legal Advantage, your law firm or corporate counsel office is guaranteed cost-effective, superior, and efficient answers to your legal research questions. In today's law firm and corporate counsel environments, attorneys are kept busy meeting with clients, devising litigation strategy and drafting documents. The need for expert research often cannot be sufficiently serviced by existing staff whose time would be better utilized performing complex financial research directly for clients. As such, outsourcing your traditional Legal Research needs to us will provide you with relevant, efficient, and verified answers.
Our Team:
Our team of legal associates has been carefully selected and has undergone an extensive battery of tests to validate their capabilities. Additionally, they have completed an intensive 10-week program reviewing a variety of areas including Constitutional law, torts, property, evidence, criminal law, civil procedure, criminal procedure, the Uniform Commercial Code and contracts.
Our Expertise:
Our legal associates are trained on all relevant legal databases including LexisNexis, Westlaw, and Loislaw. As such, they have learned the mechanics of Shepardizing, understand the KeyCite Citation System, and utilize a variety of other tools to ensure research results are relevant and currently applicable under law. They also have familiarity with a variety of electronic resources, such as EDGAR, and financial databases such as Dun & Bradstreet. Additionally, our associates have extensively used general academic research databases including JSTOR and LexisNexis Academic.
Our Process:
When you have a research request, the relevant facts and question can be submitted to our secure website. Within one hour of receipt, a staff member will have read the request and you will receive an acknowledgment of receipt of the research issue. Absent any need for clarification, our legal associates will immediately begin working on your request. Upon completion of the research request, the facts, question, and relevant findings will be reviewed by our Legal Advantage Quality Control Team, who will ensure that the findings conform to our exacting internal standards. You will receive a vetted and quality-checked answer back within 24 hours of your request.
