Lexis Search Advantage | Transactional Powered by Intelligize Offers Roundtrip Searches of Your Firm's Work Product and the SEC

By Neil J. Squillante | Wednesday, December 5, 2018

Read our latest coverage of Search Advantage here

.

Today's TL NewsWire Hot Product is knowledge management software that enables you to mine your firm's own work product and the SEC's EDGAR database for model clauses and precedents using classification technology pioneered by Intelligize (see article below). In addition, you'll find links to many previous TL NewsWire Hot Products, including a popular document assembly product rewritten with more accessible authoring tools embedded in Microsoft Word and a modern browser-based experience for end users. Don't miss the next issue of TL NewsWire.

When a law firm grows to a certain size, you become unaware of most of the work product being produced in your own practice group. Over the years, you can even forget about your own work product. Accordingly, being able to find and reuse past work product has become an essential productivity tool in corporate practice.

Lexis Search Advantage | Transactional Powered by Intelligize in One Sentence

Lexis Search Advantage | Transactional Powered by Intelligize (Lexis Search Advantage | Transactional), which integrates with your firm's document management system to better classify your firm's work product, incorporates the search technology of Intelligize for more precise and expansive search results.

The Killer Feature

Intelligize revolutionized SEC EDGAR searches — so much so that LexisNexis acquired the company in 2016. As a result, Lexis Search Advantage | Transactional is built on Intelligize, enabling you to search both your firm's work product and EDGAR using a similar interface.

The Intelligize integration brings more than 300 classifications to your firm's documents with a 90% confidence level. For example, document types include Articles of Merger, Asset Purchase Agreement, Stock Purchase Agreement, Underwriting Agreement, etc.

Not all helpful work product resides within your firm. With one click, you can transfer your Lexis Search Advantage search to Intelligize to find similar documents among all SEC filings. Another click takes you back to Lexis Search Advantage | Transactional.

"Lexis Search Advantage | Transactional Powered by Intelligize is one example of how we put the power of data-driven law in our customers' hands," says Jeff Pfeifer, Vice President of Product Management, LexisNexis. "This new tool in the Lexis Analytics suite sits behind a firm's firewall and helps attorneys mine enriched internal documents while searching precedent agreements filed with the SEC to deliver better client value."

Other Notable Features

Lexis Search Advantage | Transactional has a two-paned interface with your search criteria on the left and the search results on the right. In addition to entering keywords, you can also choose from several filters, including the new Intelligize document types noted above as well as specific deal points (e.g., gold in the backyard and sandbagging in merger agreements). Other search filters include document title, clause title, parties involved, attorneys, firms, companies, governing law, jurisdictions, and date range. Your firm can customize these search fields when you implement Lexis Search Advantage| Transactional.

The new tabbed interface for search results enables you to toggle back and forth among searches. Icons next to each item in the search results indicate document format (Word, PDF, etc.). A new "tags" feature draws your attention to a document's significant attributes. A designated team at your firm can define all the "public tags" for consistency. You can supplement these with your own personal tags (called "My Tags") that only you can see. You can use both types of tags to narrow your search results.

Each document that your searches reveal contains a rich set of metadata for quick exploration, including definitions, reps and warranties, covenants, conditions, and remedies and indemnification. Click a covenant such as "gold in the backyard" for example and Lexis Search Advantage | Transactional displays that provision in a snippet. You can export multiple snippets and compare them side by side in an Excel document.

What Else Should You Know?

Lexis Search Advantage | Transactional integrates with popular document management systems such as NetDocuments, iManage, and eDOCS. All security settings in your document management system, including ethical walls, are inherited by Lexis Search Advantage | Transactional.

Replace Internal Email With NetDocuments' New ndThread Messaging and Collaboration Service

By TechnoLawyer | Tuesday, June 12, 2018

Today's issue of TL NewsWire covers a corporate messaging service that automatically saves discussions and shared documents to NetDocuments (see article below). In addition, you'll find links to the previous 11 TL NewsWire features, including our coverage of a Microsoft Word add-in that scores your briefs and offers a spellchecker-like tool which suggests corrections and stylistic improvements, cloud software for paperless deposition exhibits that gives you precise control over what the deponent sees and which can generate a hyperlinked report of all marked exhibits, and much more. Don't miss the next issue.

Email makes a lot of sense for communicating with clients thanks to its interoperability across organizations. But internal email is a different story. The sheer volume can bury important client messages and prevent them from being filed or shared. Since you're all in the same organization, corporate messaging offers a better alternative — except that it usually creates another location to manage.

NetDocuments ndThread … in One Sentence

Just launched, NetDocuments' ndThread is a secure messaging service embedded within NetDocuments' cloud platform with apps for Windows, Mac, Web, iOS, and Android.

The Killer Feature

ndThread builds on the recent launch of ndMail (for storing email and attachments) to ensure that you'll find all information related to a matter in one location in NetDocuments. This also guarantees a unified platform for communication and collaboration while incorporating NetDocuments global search functionality.

ndThread came to NetDocuments via its acquisition of ThreadKM late last year. Dan Hauck, former CEO of ThreadKM and current VP of Product and User Experience at NetDocuments, spearheaded the project to incorporate ndThread into the NetDocuments platform for matter and topic-based messaging.

ndThread offers a zero-configuration experience on several fronts. For example, there's no initial setup because everyone in your firm can use their NetDocuments identity to login and use ndThread. Furthermore, there's no concern about threaded discussions becoming information silos because ndThread automatically saves and categorizes conversations in the correct matter within NetDocuments' matter, client, or topic-based workspaces.

"NetDocuments' ability to quickly incorporate the ThreadKM technology into its global cloud service speaks to its incredible power and efficiency," says Hauck. "The same encryption, security, compliance, indexing, and search functionality of NetDocuments' robust service now extends to all aspects of ndThread, reducing the need for law firms to rely on outside technologies to quickly and effectively communicate."

Other Notable Features

ndThread offers two ways to communicate with colleagues — direct messages and workspace discussions. Direct messages work like text messages except that you don't need to maintain an address book. Workspaces in ndThread mirror workspaces in NetDocuments and facilitate a conversation among members of a client team, practice group, committee, etc. Notification icons inform you of unread messages (you can also receive email or push notifications).

Workspaces can contain multiple private or open "threads" alongside other matter-related documents and email (e.g., a partners-only discussion). When a new team member joins a workspace, they gain access to all past discussions and documents, helping them get up to speed.

Most of the time, you'll reference documents already stored in NetDocuments. If you add a new document from elsewhere, ndThread asks you to fill out a profile and saves it into the same workspace in NetDocuments. Once a document resides in ndThread, you can use annotation tools to collaborate on it. These annotations reside in a nondestructive layer on top of the document. Collaborating in this fashion brings everyone to the same file, eliminating the drudgery of merging competing redlines or commentary sent in email messages or attachments.

What Else Should You Know?

"We started looking at ThreadKM as an innovative alternative to traditional email communication before the NetDocuments acquisition," says David Pray, Chief Transformation Officer at Bailey & Glasser LLP. "Now having ndThread as part of the NetDocuments platform presents a win-win scenario. We look forward to immediately leveraging ndThread as part of our NetDocuments platform investment."
