I don't know how we would keep law. Lexis was always cheaper. All of a sudden they are rolling out new products like they are a real company. If they actually do have a product, we are going to have to cut our prices big time to compete.
Dear fellow bloggers. Please stop referring us ANONYMOUS bloggers to connect Lillian Lee on every thread. This is really annoying. Just let people vent and share.
Seeing the playbook TR has followed for years it is more likely it sells something like LMS, Findlaw, Print, TRSS, Clear or any other easy carve out operation to a strategic (Big 4 / Lexis). The sale of a large BU (Healthcare, IP&S, F&R, etc.) would likely go through PE first to be sliced and diced before selling parts to a strategic. This happened to Healthcare, bought by PE and later sold to IBM Watson. TR is driven by finance and has a very cookie cutter approach to deals. What makes you think they will change this MO? Also, the sale of a large BU to PE would help speed along regulatory approvals which would be harder to clear as soon as Lexis or WK is involved. The TR Legal to Lexis rumor is clearly false.
Not a chance Lexus could absorb legal and not be considered a monopoly. That would be like Apple and Microsoft merging
FRM - Is this being sold?
I don’t think this is spreading rumors at all.
It is the company’s fault employees having to guess what will happen.
Spreading unsubstantiated rumors is not helpful. Why would this even make sense?
@WhAn8Md-icr Q1 of 2019? Wouldn't we have been told ahead of time like FRM?
I have it on very good authority that it's being sold the Lexis shortly. Q1.
