Today, LexisNexis is working to seamlessly support law firms around the world with total solutions that manage virtually every aspect of the legal process.Prior to joining Reed Elsevier, Andy served as Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of West Group, part of the Thomson Corporation, where he was highly successful in moving customers from print to the then new world of online.
