Program Provides Free Marketing Services, Networking, and Employment Resources
NEW YORK--(Business Wire)--
LexisNexis, a leading global provider of content-enabled workflow solutions,
today announced the launch of its LexisNexis®Lend a Hand program to provide free
marketing services, networking, and employment resources to lawyers who have
been laid off in recent months due to economic hardship facing their former
firms. The program is offered through the Martindale-Hubbell® business and is
available to all U.S.-based lawyers who recently worked for a law firm with more
than 50 attorneys and are currently unemployed. Program enrollment will be
available through the end of August 2009.

"Lawyers, particularly at large law firms, have borne the brunt of an
unprecedented series of law firm layoffs in the past year," said Dave Danielson,
vice president and managing director, Specialized Law Client Development at
LexisNexis. "The Lend a Hand program is a free service created to help these
attorneys promote their personal brand, build and leverage a trusted
professional legal network, and access jobs and employment resources available
through Martindale-Hubbell."

The LexisNexis®Lend a Hand program provides a complimentary six-month profile on
Lawyers.comSM - the most popular online legal resource that provides consumers
and small businesses with the information they need to find the right lawyer;
and on martindale.com® - the premier destination for corporate counsel and
sophisticated buyers of legal services.

The program also provides free access to Martindale-Hubbell® Connected - a
global online community designed specifically for legal professionals to quickly
connect, network, communicate and collaborate with trusted and authenticated
colleagues; and the Martindale-Hubbell® Career Center - the one-stop employment
resource to help attorneys find legal jobs.
