London, November 8, 2007 – LexisNexis
and the Centre for Effective Dispute Resolution (CEDR) today announced
the launch of ADR KnowHow, the latest addition to LexisNexis’s
online KnowHow service for lawyers. The launch
coincides with CEDR’s Third European Mediation Congress that
brings together mediation professionals from all over Europe.
LexisNexis is a leading provider of information and services for
lawyers and tax professionals. CEDR is well known as Europe’s
leading independent dispute resolution service.
Josh Bottomley, Managing Director, LexisNexis UK, said: “The
Master of the Rolls recently acknowledged the importance of ADR
in today’s Civil Justice System. It is therefore a great
coup for us to be collaborating with CEDR on the launch of KnowHow ADR.
Building on the Centre’s immense industry expertise, we have
designed a tool to give law firms informative and practical guidance
on the mediation process and on other types of ADR.”
ADR KnowHow offers everything a lawyer needs to effectively
run an ADR process; from drafting ADR clauses for contracts through
to the practicalities of organising a mediation. It also includes
a series of articles on current issues in mediation, written especially
for KnowHow by CEDR mediation experts.
“As a leading service provider, trainer and source for ADR information
in Europe, CEDR recognises the importance of timely, accurate information for
law firms. We feel it is very fitting to create this partnership with the KnowHow service
from LexisNexis, whereby CEDR will assist it in delivering ADR information,” said
Karl Mackie, CEDR Chief Executive.
