Collexis Holdings, Inc. Acquires a Leading Legal Publisher, Lawriter LLC
Publish Date : 2/4/2008 7:58:00 AM   Source : Software and ERP News Onlypunjab.com

Collexis Holdings, Inc. (OTCBB: CLXS), a leading developer of high definition search and knowledge discovery software, announced today that the company has acquired Lawriter LLC, which owns nationally acclaimed legal research service Casemaker®. Total consideration for the acquisition was $9 million, including cash, common stock at $0.75 per share and future financial obligations, plus an earnout arrangement. For more information about the terms of the acquisition, see the company’s current report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC today. Lawriter is the leading legal online provider to the small and medium law firm market that comprises 450,000 attorneys.

Recognized as a legal research industry leader, Casemaker is an affordable legal information option for government agencies, law firms, law schools, judges, and lawyers throughout the United States. A total of 28 state bar associations have currently contracted for their members to use Casemaker. Designed to provide users with current and accurate legal materials, the Casemaker online portal allows users to search and browse a variety of legal information such as federal and state statutes, codes, rules, and case law. All Casemaker libraries are custom-built to the specifications of each state bar association.

“We are very excited about the acquisition of a fast-growing and profitable company like Lawriter. Our technology coupled with Casemaker’s content will certainly benefit Casemaker users,” said Bill Kirkland, CEO of Collexis Holdings, Inc. “Over the next six to twelve months, Lawriter plans to introduce a Casemaker premium service and a suite of knowledge discovery and workflow tools.” Kirkland continued: “We understand the importance of Lawriter’s legacy of strong relationships with state bar associations, and we intend to build on their past successes so that Lawriter may continue to provide even more services as a high quality provider.”

“As founder of the USA’s oldest online legal publishing service, I am truly excited about the possibilities our new partnership brings,” said Joe Shea, founder of Casemaker. “The synergy of Lawriter's Casemaker legal data and Collexis technologies will provide users with enhanced avenues of research. We look forward to more and more lawyers sharing in the Casemaker/Collexis experience.”

In a recent released Ohio study, Casemaker was found to be the primary source of online legal research by Ohio State Bar Association members more often than all other legal publishers’ services combined. According to Shea, Collexis plans to further expand Casemaker’s content and information retrieval capabilities, adding multiple new product offerings and delivering customer options that should make searching Casemaker more intuitive than ever before.
