Sydney, Australia, January 24, 2012 – LexisNexis® today announced its intention to realign its businesses in Australia and New Zealand in line with its strategy to deliver the next generation of Legal Research and Practice Management services.
The proposed new Pacific business, encompassing both Australia and New Zealand, will create a single team to deliver greater customer service and roll out innovative new products while keeping local knowledge in local markets.
TJ Viljoen, CEO LexisNexis Pacific Region, said the proposed new business will take advantage of common processes and improved product and content development to meet the unique requirements of customers and drive best practice customer service across the region.
