LexisNexis Officially Launches Martindale-Hubbell Connected
LexisNexis has officially launched Martindale-Hubbell® Connected. In beta development since June 2008, the network launched with 3,000 members and six alliance partners - the Minority Corporate Counsel Association, Lex Mundi, the Council on Litigation Management, Pro Bono Net, the National Association of Women Lawyers, and TerraLex.
Martindale-Hubbell Connected combines the largest global resource of legal contacts - more than one million lawyers and law firms around the world - with social networking technology to create a dynamic, authenticated network enabling corporate counsel and private practice attorneys to uncover new relationships and trusted referrals, share information and insights, and to identify their connection to firms, corporate legal departments or other lawyers.
What a mouthful!
At launch, the network is open to any private practice attorneys and corporate counsel. Law profs and students, law firm marketing directors, paralegals and other "qualified legal professionals" (law librarians?) will be invited to join the network later this year. There is no fee to join, and all members have access to the site's basic features and functions.
