Thomson Reuters said that it is launching new editorial products aimed at professionals in the legal, tax and accounting, and science markets.
Stephen Adler, editor-in-chief of Reuters News and former editor of The American Lawyer and BusinessWeek, as well as former deputy managing editor at The Wall Street Journal, is leading the build-out of news teams to cover areas such as litigation, tax policy and intellectual property law.
At Thomson Reuters News & Insight: Legal, journalists are covering litigation topics including securities and bankruptcy and are ramping up coverage of the trends and personalities driving global law.
Journalists are working with editorial teams focused on building current awareness and other legal news content that Westlaw subscribers, especially litigators, use every day to inform their courtroom strategies and sharpen their arguments.
This content is integrated with Westlaw Litigator case law, analysis, trial documents, jury verdicts and workflow tools.
“Already, news teams are working closely with Thomson Reuters Professional businesses to intelligently connect news, data and documents into valuable information solutions for customers, served up via smart phones, tablets and desktop products, to help them be even more productive, effective and successful,” said Adler in a statement.
A News & Insight online service, featuring exclusive journalism, research and analysis for tax and accounting clients, is also in development and scheduled for release later this year.
