Practical Law Company Receives Worldwide Recognition for Innovation in Legal Services

NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwire - July 30, 2009) - Practical Law Company (PLC), a leading provider of practical know-how for business lawyers, is proud to have been selected by the College of Law Practice Management as winner of a 2009 InnovAction Award. Designed to inspire creative thinking in the legal industry, the InnovAction Awards recognize excellence in law practice management and effective innovation throughout the world.

"This is a major accomplishment for us and is not only consistent with our core principles of innovation and excellence, but a true testament to our customer focus," noted Jeroen Plink, CEO of PLC U.S. "Helping attorneys practice more efficiently is our company's mission; we are excited to be acknowledged for adding real value to legal practice."

Recognizing that traditional legal publishers are not meeting the needs of transactional lawyers, particularly in this climate where both exceptional work product and cost effectiveness are of critical importance, PLC demonstrated to the selection committee its commitment to innovation and ability to deliver results. The award honors PLC for its recently launched U.S. know-how services, which help business lawyers get up to speed quickly, practice more efficiently and add greater value to clients.

PLC will receive its InnovAction Award at the College of Law Practice Management's "Inaugural Futures Conference," held in conjunction with the College's Annual Meeting in Denver, CO on September 25 & 26, 2009.
