DUBAI, United Arab Emirates,
June 21, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ --
On Wednesday, 27th June 2018,
LexisNexis Middle East will reveal its latest innovative editorial
content, Gulf Legal Advisor. The ground-breaking ceremony will take
place in the Monogram Room of the Four Seasons Hotel – Dubai
International Financial Centre (DIFC), from 6:00pm to 8:00pm.
As part of a two century-old tradition of creating and
publishing the best legal content possible, LexisNexis has always
championed the cause for access to legal information, the
advancement of the rule of law and major innovations within the
global scientific legal community.
LexisNexis is very proud to launch this new practical guidance
solution, available exclusively on Lexis Middle East Law
(http://www.lexismiddleeast.com): Gulf Legal Advisor.
This innovative tool is tailor-made to the GCC and offers legal
professionals of all walks the opportunity to browse through
hundreds of "Practice Notes", providing concise and practical
guidance on legal questions.
Practice Notes are short and concise documents, 4 to 6 pages
"maximum facts minimum words", to help users find the information
they need quickly on a given legal topic, along with direct links
to all relevant legislations, cases and commentaries. A Practice
Note consists of (i) a short introduction, (ii) key legal
definitions specific to the practice area and (iii) a practical
guidance section that delves into the issue at hand. In all
Practice Notes are included a customised relevant content and a
short paragraph on how the same topic would be dealt with in a
Common Law jurisdiction. Gulf Legal Advisor authors are
multi-jurisdiction legal practitioners and experts who have
acquired an international reputation in providing a full range of
legal services across the Middle
East.
The ground-breaking ceremony will be the occasion to celebrate
the completion of the first 200 Practice Notes. Attendees will have
the opportunity to hear the latest insight into the changes facing
in-house legal teams from prominent legal experts, get a first
glimpse of the new practical guidance solution developed by
LexisNexis, find out how Gulf Legal Advisor will enhance the daily
productivity of the legal community, and honour the Gulf Legal
Advisor Inaugural Contributors and Expert Board members. Finally,
they will be able to share their thoughts and network with legal
professionals, practitioners and academic researchers from across
the GCC region.
"The project is unique, innovative, and the first of its kind in
the region. We aim at advancing the rule of law while creating a
complete practical encyclopaedia covering the entire GCC region,"
asserts Hussain Hadi, Head of
LexisNexis Middle East Publishing. More than 2000 Practice Notes
are expected to be published in less than a year, covering 16 areas
of legal practice (Arbitration, Banking & Finance, Commercial,
Corporate, Dispute Resolution, Employment, Energy, IP & IT,
Construction & Infrastructure, Real Estate, Financial Services,
Insolvency, Transports, Tourism & Travel, and Public Law) in
the six GCC countries (UAE, KSA, Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, Oman),
