Chart builders save significant time and money
Bloomberg Law’s state and international chart builders simplify compliance by providing quick reference comparisons of statutory and regulatory requirements across jurisdictions for numerous topics including securities, labor and employment, health, privacy, intellectual property, and more. Fully 95 percent of survey participants said that chart builders reduce the amount of time it takes to conduct a multistate survey.
The in-house legal team at Perrigo specifically pointed to chart builders as a time- and cost-saving tool. The associate general counsel reports, “Bloomberg Law’s chart builders save our department time and money. They provide us with fast, accurate, and up-to-date information that is critical to our organization. Without access to chart builders it would typically take me over seven to eight hours of research to conduct a multistate survey or potentially $5-6K to outsource this work.”
Practical Guidance is an essential tool
With nearly 7,000 Practical Guidance documents, including an extensive collection of templates, forms, checklists, overviews, and professional perspectives, Bloomberg Law offers the legal expertise and how-to guidance that allows in-house counsel teams to manage assignments and unfamiliar issues productively and confidently.
Bloomberg Law customer Cambridge Investment Research’s deputy general counsel reports, “Bloomberg Law’s Practical Guidance helps us complete work with efficiency, accuracy, and confidence.
