FindLaw Launches New Legal MarketCenter
West Legal Directory to power expanded directory of service providers on FindLaw
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. April 23, 2001 – FindLaw (www.findlaw.com), the most highly trafficked legal Web site, today launched an expanded directory of businesses and individuals that provide products and professional services to the legal community. The FindLaw Legal MarketCenter is powered by West Legal Directory® the Web’s largest directory of legal professionals. This new vendor and services directory provides an efficient means for legal professionals to connect with the services they need to support their practice.
The FindLaw Legal MarketCenter covers the key services that are frequently engaged by law firms, including mediators, court reporters, legal investigators, process servers, paralegals, software and technology suppliers, litigation support and expert witnesses, as well as marketers and other consultants. The FindLaw Legal MarketCenter harnesses the power of West Legal Directory, providing listings that can be searched by city, state and type of product or service. Listings contain detailed profiles that include type of service or product offered, credentials, regions served, contact information, and a link to the vendor’s Web site, if available.
"FindLaw continues to expand its offerings to provide resources helpful to all members of the legal community," said Steve Noel, senior director, FindLaw Legal MarketCenter. "Law firms frequently rely on professional services from outside providers — and often need them on short notice. With FindLaw Legal MarketCenter, firms can now easily search for the businesses or individuals that meet their specific needs in terms of expertise, experience or location."
Noel said the new FindLaw Legal MarketCenter gives vendors a powerful new tool for reaching legal professionals with information about their service. "Vendors typically rely on word-of-mouth, a highly inefficient process. FindLaw Legal MarketCenter provides a centralized, online marketplace where vendors can display their expertise and contact information directly to lawyers and law firms in the Web’s largest online legal community," he noted.
Lawyers and law firms looking for professional service providers can visit the directory at http://vendors.findlaw.com.
