Description:

Are you a lawyer with teammanagement and legal practice experience looking for a change?
About Practical Guidance
LexisNexis Practical Guidance is an online solution offering practically focused content that lawyers need to conduct a matter. Guidance, practice tips, legislation, cases, checklists, tools, precedents and latest legal updates are all in one place and in the context of a lawyer's workflow.
About the Role
