"Practical Law Connect - Practice Point (it is no longer called this FYI)"
5/5
What do you like best about Practical Law?

I love that this is a 'marriage' between Westlaw and Practical Law.

Also, appreciate that there are no client charges within Practical Law Connect (Practice Point).

(This title that G2Crowd is wrong - it USED to be called Practice Point, now Practical Law Connect). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Practical Law?

I sometimes find the landing page for the practice areas to be over-saturated in news rather than other features, such as documents, cases, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Practical Law is Easy to Use and Practical"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Practical Law?

Practical law is easy to navigate and easy to use. It is organized my practice area, resource type, and jurisdiction. This makes it easy to find what I need (whether it is a guide, or a document). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Practical Law?

There aren't any major cons, but there are some resources that are better from other providers (such as Lexis Nexis). This just depends on preference. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Quick Answers When You Need Them"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Practical Law?

Practical law is very user friendly and provides detailed summaries of just about any area of law you can think of that are easy to read and digest. Prior to starting any new project or discussing one with other executives it provides a useful background to guide the conversation and make sure key areas are addressed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Practical Law?

The information is a mile wide and often only an inch deep. While it gives you an overview that is helpful it lacks the depth that expert practitioners need to actively guide or manage a project or resolution of a complex issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Useful legal tool"
4/5
What do you like best about Practical Law?

As a corporate associate, I use practical law fairly often as a guide for what’s current in the legal world (i.e. forms and general know how). It’s a helpful tool for general overviews on specific topics, such as certain transaction types as well as certain speciality areas. It’s also super helpful for checklists and standard phrases that we need to insert in documents. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Practical Law?

Sometimes the descriptions are far too general and not sufficiently helpful to really drill down a point. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not every subject matter is covered by practice law, for example immigration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great when they cover your topic ..."
4.5/5

Practical Law is a great resource when they cover your topic. When they don't, it's frustrating. They keep adding content all the time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Practical Law?

Holes in their coverage. Yes they keep adding content, but when your topic is not covered, it's exasperating. Sometimes articles are a little superficial. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
