Relex vs Westlaw
What this product is for
Westlaw is a legal research platform from Thomson Reuters.
Why add—or choose—Relex
Relex is a workspace for matter context and saved work, not a substitute claim for Westlaw’s editorial research services. Preserve source references and conclusions when moving from research into the wider workflow.
What to verify before choosing
Check primary-law coverage, currency, citator requirements and source licensing for your jurisdiction. Test permitted export and reuse; a workspace cannot remove a research provider’s license restrictions.
