LexisNexis, a provider of business information solutions for the legal profession, announced a partnership with professional networking site LinkedIn.

LexisNexis’s online network for attorneys, Martindale-Hubbell, will now feature LinkedIn icons that users can view alongside the profiles of attorneys. The user will be able to access profile data and view connections if they are a LinkedIn member.

“Martindale.com is where corporate counsel and other legal professionals from all over the world go to find lawyers, and with LinkedIn connections displayed for easy access and use, it’s now a one-stop destination where they can tap into their online network to get more information and feedback about the attorneys or firms they are researching from people they know and trust,” said Ralph Calistri, CEO of Martindale-Hubbell and senior vice president of Global Client Development at LexisNexis. “Access to LinkedIn at martindale.com is also an important milestone within our larger effort to provide the most robust and effective online community for legal professionals.”

In addition, links to Martindale-Hubbell articles will now be featured on targeted LinkedIn networks.

“We are pleased to join with Martindale-Hubbell, the leader in client development solutions for lawyers,” said Scott Roberts, Senior Director of Business Development at LinkedIn. “As more and more attorneys use LinkedIn as a critical business tool, having their LinkedIn credentials and information on martindale.com, as well as access to legal content from Martindale-Hubbell, will significantly enhance their use of the LinkedIn network.”
