Notice Information

Notice Title

Westlaw and PLC Legal Text Subscription

Notice Description

The Legal Services team have an existing subscription with Thomson Reuters for access to Westlaw and PLC legal texts. This subscription provides the team with an online legal research service with expert how-to guidance, clear explanations of current law, and tools and templates. This allows solicitors easy access to legal texts to assist with their cases. Previously we have had two separate smaller subscription contracts that are now being 'streamlined' into a single product to allow access to both existing content as well as additional content.
