Use legal research to manage regulatory compliance risk
Print E-mail

More than a decade ago LRN created a new paradigm for legal research: using experienced practitioners to research the most complex legal issues on a fixed-time, fixed-fee basis. By promoting this method, we have extended the impact and significance of legal research as an integral component of an overall risk management strategy.

Companies and law firms have typically commissioned legal research reactively to determine options and set strategy after a legal situation has unfolded. In certain cases few options remain after the fact to develop an aggressive defense or counterclaim. By using legal research proactively to identify and analyze issues before situations arise that might create legal exposure, LRN helps organizations throughout the world understand the scope and nature of potential risks, ultimately mitigating overall risk.

LRN Legal Research provides comprehensive, nuanced and accurate answers to critical legal issues. Because our research is performed by our expert legal network, we can tackle even the most complex legal questions to provide critical insight exactly where it is needed to make effective business decisions. We offer specialized expertise our customers need to

  • Assess the scope and complexity of legal risks
  • Stay abreast of rapidly changing laws or industry dynamics
  • Operate in multiple jurisdictions
  • Enter into new markets or locations
  • Engage in merger, acquisition, divesture and other business transactions
Our offerings include: custom research, subscription research and KnowledgeBank, our proprietary electronic library of legal memoranda and platform to enhance collaboration across legal teams and the global enterprise. Our KnowledgeBank platform enables companies to leverage similar issues that have been researched in the past to avoid "reinventing the wheel."

Research from real experts

The idea behind LRN expert legal research is as simple as it is revolutionary: use distinguished experts instead of less experienced law firm associates or paralegals. The result is a better, more cost-effective and faster path between issue and resolution. Our proprietary expert legal network includes leading minds in the profession – law professors at preeminent universities, partners at distinguished law firms, authors of legislation and legal treatises, and former government attorneys. Members of the network are managed closely by our in-house legal research counsel, experienced and credentialed partner-level attorneys who are experts in overseeing the research process to ensure accountability and satisfaction. Together, our research network and research counsel bring expertise to every step in the creation and dissemination of critical legal knowledge.

Encouraging professional business ethics starts at the top with an organization's code of conduct, a set of guidelines that describe the proper practices for an organization. In most cases, an organization's code of conduct states principles that govern the organization's interactions with employees, customers, business partners, government, and outlines global business ethics.

LRN helps organizations build their code of ethics and to infuse it at every level of the company through diversity education, ethics courses and sexual harassment training. LRN's ethics and compliance training programs promote a principled working environment that increases productivity company-wide. Additionally, our ethics training solutions reduce your compliance risk through the power of education and communication.

LRN has inspired ethical leadership in business since 1993. Our expertise in the areas of corporate ethics training, workplace diversity training, and harassment training have helped companies worldwide create a respectful corporate culture.
