ALM, LexisNexis Expand Strategic Relationship

NEW YORK CITY—ALM, parent organization of GlobeSt.com, Real Estate Forum and the RealShare Conference series as well as The National Law Journal and The American Lawyer, has signed a new content licensing agreement with LexisNexis Legal & Professional. Moving beyond the 2011 agreement that established LexisNexis as the exclusive third-party distributor of ALM’s online content, the new pact lays the groundwork for expanding the integration of ALM’s content within LexisNexis legal research solutions.

While the original agreement included access to news, archives, industry rankings, court verdicts and other ALM information that is otherwise subscriber-only, the new agreement opens up more opportunities for direct integration of ALM content into LexisNexis products. Most immediately, the way ALM content is delivered through LexisNexis^® Newsdesk, a market-leading media-monitoring and market intelligence solution, will be streamlined via direct delivery from ALM. That means more convenient and efficient access to more than 3,000 pieces of original news reporting and other content from ALM media brands each month, according to a joint statement from ALM and LexisNexis.
