Mark Alex Flowers is the founder and partner of Mark Alex Flowers, a firm of commercial attorneys and barristers based in The Bahamas. He uses UUÂãÁÄÖ±²¥ to help him provide robust advice and representation for his clients.
Staying on top of the latest judgments
Mark makes use of both Lexis+ Legal Research and Lexis+ Practical Guidance for dispute resolution, commercial and private client guidance. The breadth of commentary and practice notes he finds particularly useful.
“I use Lexis+ Practical Guidance and Lexis+ Legal Research to conduct research, understand key movements in the law as they relate to relevant practice areas, and to read commentary by practitioners that highlight lacunas in the law addressed by recent decisions.”
“UUÂãÁÄÖ±²¥' text resources, in my opinion, are the most comprehensive on the market.”
A user-friendly product
Mark finds UUÂãÁÄÖ±²¥ products very easy to navigate. Some of the most valuable features of Lexis+ Practical Guidance for him are the templates and the practice area summary guidance that links to key decisions in each area and subcategory. The various different elements are all neatly incorporated to form part of a comprehensive and cohesive overall product.
“The text resources, in my opinion, are the most comprehensive on the market; they intertwine procedure with practical note guidance, drafting templates, flow charts and footnotes to the relevant decisions. These features are compartmentalized into user-friendly templates that span important areas of commercial practice.”
Comprehensive legal support
“My firm likes to use Lexis+ because it makes research very easy. Whether we are looking for a broad overview of an area of the law outside of our core practice, or case law on a specific and discrete legal issue, there is something on the platform that addresses the level of knowledge required. Another key benefit of the platform is that it provides support at all levels, not simply in legal research, but also in drafting, written presentation and strategy.”
Saving valuable time
Lexis+ helps Mark and the firm save valuable time without compromising the quality of their work. He found that the Lexis+ system makes workflow easy because folders, case notes, remarks, and content can be shared seamlessly among colleagues.
“Lexis+ saves time because it allows cross-references to legislation and principles across jurisdictions and its templates are case note referenced; meaning the application of case law is made practical.”
The commentary features on Lexis+ Legal Research are another useful feature for Mark, especially when there is a dearth of case law in any specific area. More generally, he has found that access to UUÂãÁÄÖ±²¥ has helped him to improve the robustness of legal advice provided to clients, and reduced the time taken for case preparation.
“Lexis+ allows our firm to economize resources and streamline tasks, which allows us to pass savings on to our clients without compromising the quality of our work product.”
“Since purchasing UUÂãÁÄÖ±²¥, I can complete, for example, one application including all drafting and skeleton arguments, within half the time due to the suite of resources being readily available; this becomes particularly important for urgent ex parte matters.”
All-in-one research tool
UUÂãÁÄÖ±²¥ pulls together a whole panoply of legal resources, providing everything in one place. As well as reducing the time it would take to work with separate stand-alone products, it also means that information can be accessed at any time from any location, without the physical constraints of law libraries.
“If I weren’t using the UUÂãÁÄÖ±²¥ products, I would have to combine multiple resource bases for research, including in the traditional Supreme Court library and other libraries, as well as alternative electronic platforms; I would also have to use bespoke precedents for drafting. Depending on the resource base, using these functions may take more time. There are advantages in using UUÂãÁÄÖ±²¥ in this respect, including ease of access.”
