An open letter addressed to users of Westlaw and LexisNexis appeared on Above the Law, authored by Ryan Anderson, CEO of Filevine. The post is labeled as sponsored content, indicating that Filevine paid for its placement on the site.
The letter is a direct appeal to legal professionals who rely on those platforms for their work. The available excerpt does not include the letter's substantive arguments, so its specific proposals or criticisms cannot be evaluated here.
Because the piece is sponsored, it should be read as a marketing message rather than independent editorial content. Its publication nonetheless highlights how legal technology companies are seeking to reach users of the established research services directly.
