The legal landscape isn’t slowing down – but you don’t have to chase it anymore

The legal landscape isn’t slowing down – but you don’t have to chase it anymore

How Lexis+® UK is helping in-house lawyers cut through complexity and stay ahead in 2025

It started like most weeks: three Teams calls deep by 10 a.m., the second coffee gone cold, and your inbox already flagging five things marked "urgent."

On Monday, it was a policy rewrite after a Board query about whistleblowing procedures. Tuesday, Procurement flagged a contract clause that “didn’t feel right.” By Wednesday, someone from HR had sent in a headline about a tribunal ruling and asked: “Do we need to do anything about this?”

Somewhere in between, you were meant to conduct horizon scanning, track legislative and regulatory changes, and assess their potential impact.

In 2025, this is the in-house legal job: fast-moving, reactive, wide-ranging. You don’t get time to ‘monitor the landscape.’ You’re in the middle of it - every day.

So what actually helps?

Not more noise. Not more dashboards. What helps is this: clear, specific, reliable insight - when you need it. That’s where Lexis+® UK comes in.

  • Follow legal developments by topic - employment, IP, data, ESG, governance, and more
  • Understand the practical implications of new rulings and legislation
  • Stay one step ahead of change - without the last-minute scramble

And when you want to drill down? There’s a toolbox of , trackers for case law, legislation, and regulations, organised by practice area, all ready to help you stay ahead without the scramble.

Contract clauses that work

You’re not writing contracts from scratch. You’re redrafting a supplier clause under time pressure, reviewing indemnities with Commercial, or checking whether that limitation of liability clause still reflects current best practice.

  • Up-to-date, legally sound clauses reviewed by UK specialists
  • Practical context around how and when to use them
  • Ready-to-adapt language that helps you move from review to response -fast

The lets you line up laws side by side, highlighting differences and similarities. This means you can brief stakeholders swiftly and confidently, without needing to call in external counsel every time.

When you don’t just need to know - you need to act

Sometimes the hardest part of your job isn’t the law - it’s the process.

How exactly do you assign IP from a departing employee? What’s the right approach to updating a risk policy under the latest FCA guidance?

Lexis+® UK’s covers:

  • Real-life legal workflows
  • Clear, actionable steps tailored to in-house needs
  • Guidance across corporate governance, compliance, contracts, and more

These aren’t essays. They’re checklists, briefings, and walk-throughs - built for lawyers who need to act, not analyse.

New laws, new risks - and the tools to manage them

This year, the introduces fresh obligations, including a new corporate offence of failing to prevent fraud.
