Women in Leadership in Law
In 2018, when Christina Blacklaws started her year as the 174th president of the Law Society of England and Wales, she was the fifth woman to hold that office. One of the first projects that Ms. Blacklaws outlined as her main priorities for the year is diversity and inclusion, focusing on social mobility and women in leadership in the law. LexisNexis is proud to be supporting Ms. Blacklaws and the Law Society in meeting that important “women in leadership in the law” priority.

Freedom in the World
LexisNexis and its Reed Tech business unit coordinated and implemented a rule of law–focused corporate responsibility project for not-for-profit entity Freedom House. Over 36 employees took advantage of program time allocated for corporate responsibility projects and worked almost 1,000 hours collectively to scan and provide data cleanup of the hard copy versions of Freedom in the World published by Freedom House between 1978 – 2014.
