Lawyer Links Forms a Strategic Marketing
Relationship with the
Society of Corporate Secretaries and Governance Professionals to Offer
Specialized Legal legal research Service to Members

WARREN, NJ, March 4, 2008 – Lawyers Links, LLC
announced today a strategic marketing relationship with the Society of Corporate
Secretaries and Governance Professionals (Society). Through this newly formed
relationship, Society members will benefit from special subscription offerings
and perform comprehensive legal legal research with greater ease and relevance.
LawyerLinks Advantage(sm) is an Internet service for legal practitioners that
uniquely organizes content into topic pages designed by the company’s team of
legal editors. Information is organized the way corporate secretaries and
governance professionals work, so searches are comprehensive, 100% relevant and
fast.
Eric Korb, Managing Partner and co–founder of Lawyer Links explains: "Beginning
last June, we started participating in Society events throughout the US to
better understand the needs of Society members. Our goal was to learn how to
tailor our service for Society members. Those efforts have proven successful,
as Lawyer Links recently signed on Society members at Chevron and Microsoft."
This announcement is particularly timely, since many Society members are
currently preparing their 2008 Proxy Statements. Members looking for new SEC
disclosure requirements, S-K items and related SEC interpretations, CD&A and
other executive compensation disclosure precedent will now be only a few clicks
away from authoritative sources while using Advantage. Reviewing SEC rules,
Edgar filings, No Action Letters, FAQs and precedent examples is simple and
fast. Through its unique topic page structure, seemingly millions of information
sources are aggregated into a single "view" on Advantage, which is exactly what
Society members were asking for from a legal research service.
As if to demonstrate the value of Advantage based on personal experience, Geoff
Loftus, Society Vice President, was searching for SEC comment letters on
executive compensation disclosures. He and an associate looked for more than 20
minutes and could not find them using traditional online legal research services. He
recalls, “A light bulb went off to try LawyerLinks Advantage – and I got exactly
what I needed in about 30 seconds.”
Loftus believes by introducing Advantage to his members it will help them keep
costs down while increasing productivity. “Workloads in corporate secretary’s
departments have done nothing but grow since Sarbanes-Oxley. Very few of those
departments have grown in headcount, so you have the same number of people doing
more work. Advantage speeds the time spent on legal research and frees up more time to
do other necessary tasks.”
Members can try Advantage risk-free for 14-days through a special arrangement
offered by the Society. Special subscription pricing is being offered to members
through May 31, 2008. For more information, see details on the Society's web
site
