#About LexisNexis Business of Law Software Solutions

The headquarters for the LexisNexis software division on NC State s Centennial Campus houses the Software Center of Excellence.

This blog is managed by the LexisNexis software division headquartered in Raleigh, NC.   While LexisNexis is better known for its legal research tools, the software division is growing business within the company.

Over the course of the several years LexisNexis has steadily consolidated software businesses throughout the company into a single cohesive division dedicated to software. This division is building a “Software Center of Excellence” headquartered on NC State’s Centennial Campus – a move completed in 2014 .

Centennial Campus is a public-private partnership which houses one of the largest undergraduate engineering programs in the century.  The center brings together resources form LexisNexis, academia and the high tech community in the greater Raleigh-Durham area.

Originally known for “business of law” software, the technology tools used by law firms and legal departments to manage their business or practices, the software division now also includes litigation software tools.  Based on a set of principles defined in Software Bill of Rights ,

LexisNexis has streamlined its U.S.-based software businesses and the products it develops fall into these two primary categories:
