LexisNexis

LexisNexis is a provider of legal research, news, and business information services headquartered in New York, NY. The company traces its origins to 1970 when Mead Data Central launched the LEXIS legal research service, followed by the NEXIS news database in 1979. It is currently a subsidiary of RELX Group, the London-based information and analytics company.

The company's primary products include the LexisNexis legal research platform, which provides access to case law, statutes, regulations, and secondary legal sources, and Lexis+, its updated research environment with AI-assisted tools. LexisNexis also operates a risk solutions division offering identity verification, fraud detection, and data analytics products used by insurers, financial institutions, and law enforcement agencies. Its customer base spans law firms, corporate legal departments, government agencies, and academic institutions globally.

LexisNexis was acquired by Reed Elsevier (now RELX Group) in 1994 for approximately $1.5 billion. RELX Group is publicly traded on the London Stock Exchange and Euronext Amsterdam under the ticker REL, and on the New York Stock Exchange as RELX. LexisNexis employs tens of thousands of people across its legal and risk solutions divisions and has expanded through multiple acquisitions, including the purchase of InterAction (legal CRM) and various data and analytics firms over the years.
