Are you a lawyer with team management and legal practice experience looking for a change?

Overview of LexisNexis Practical Guidance

LexisNexis Practical Guidance is an online solution offering practically focused content that lawyers need to conduct a matter. Guidance, practice tips, legislation, cases, checklists, tools, precedents and news are all in one place and in the context of a lawyer’s workflow.

This is a great opportunity to work for LexisNexis, a global organisation that provides world-class content and leading-edge technology and software tools, allowing our customers to quickly find the answers they are searching for, and to advance the rule of law.
