The Cardiff Metropolitan University sought unique content provided by LexisNexis, underlining the importance of exclusive content access for educational purposes. Businesses with expertise in legal research platforms and the ability to meet the specific content needs of educational institutions would be well-suited to engage with such opportunities. ## Notice Subscription to Lexis+, which is an online legal research platform providing access to UK, US and international case law, legislation and legal journal articles.
