    Chose Thomson Reuters Practical Law
    They stack up generally the same, but the interface and layout are just different. Lexis and Westlaw seem to be better for case law and citations, but Practical Law is better for legislation and articles that get to the point of what I need without having to read a case.

    Lexis Practice Advisor is an excellent alternative - but Practical Law has more comprehensive coverage of topics and practice areas - as well as more frequent updates to tools and checklists. Also, Practice Law integrates well with WestLaw which is great for having all the …

    LexisNexis
    Well suited for case law research across many areas of law in Canada. Specifically found that it works well for extensive research where there are lots of things going on. It works well for reviewing precedents that need to be considered to make decisions for taking a decision. Less suitable for situations where we need access to real documents from the courts such as decisions or motions as Lexis doesn’t have that.

    PracticalLaw offers excellent Practice Notes, Checklists, Precedents, and Toolkits for a variety of practice areas - which is very helpful to in-house counsel and law clerks that are working on files across different practice areas. Less appropriate when there are already many resources available to me to help in drafting documents - then there is not much use to look up PLC.

    Alternatives Considered
    LexisNexis
    Lexis Advance is way better in terms of usability and search features. The content is pretty much the same for both platforms except in Litigation where WestLaw is much stronger than Lexis. However, the Feature functionality of Lexis is a lot better to keep users efficient and productive and collaboration is also good.

    Lexis Practice Advisor is an excellent alternative - but Practical Law has more comprehensive coverage of topics and practice areas - as well as more frequent updates to tools and checklists. Also, Practice Law integrates well with WestLaw which is great for having all the legal research and files centralized.
