Key Takeaways

Generated from the text of customer reviews

Bloomberg Law – a legal research tool – is used by attorneys, legal librarians, and in-house counsel. Most of its users at large legal departments praise its legal content and broad search tools. However, users have noted that it has fewer secondary sources outside of business. Bloomberg Law recently acquired Regology, adding AI-powered regulatory monitoring to the platform.

Our Verdict

Bloomberg Law is a good choice for legal teams that need research backed by litigation data and up-to-date legal information. This product is useful for users who rely on docket information, litigation analysis, and Bloomberg news intelligence alongside case law. Its flat pricing is rewarding for high-volume users. We recommend it for corporate law firms and government agencies that regularly conduct legal research

“helpful database”

Pros

For my day-to-day work the database setup is very helpful. I can run advanced searches, organize records and tag older documents which makes reviewing past material much easier.

Cons

From what I've seen the system organizes information across multiple layers and supports data from many countries. That said, older cases sometimes lack detail, even though the cloud-based setup works well overall.
