Top North West Law Firm Brabners Chaffe Street Invests in 10 Year LexisNexis Axxia dna Deal 


London, 24 August, 2009 – Brabners Chaffe Street LLP, one of the North West UK’s
leading corporate and commercial law firms, has selected LexisNexis Axxia dna as its
integrated business management platform of choice. Replacing two legacy IRIS systems,
LexisNexis Axxia dna will enable Brabners Chaffe Street to consolidate practice
management and deliver operational efficiencies across its three sites in Liverpool,
Manchester and Preston. The initial 10 year deal will immediately roll out the solution to 400
users and will expand in line with the firm’s growth.

Brabners Chaffe Street chose LexisNexis Axxia dna for its integrated document and financial
management functionality, workflow technology and business intelligence offering. It will
allow the firm to modernise and automate matter administration and offer value added
services to customers, giving the business a distinct competitive advantage.

From a document management perspective, the solution will enable secure remote and
mobile working for staff across the firm’s three offices, creating a single and integrated
business environment in the firm.

Allan Green, IT Director at Brabners Chaffe Street LLP, commented, “Our previous system
was made up of a disparate set of records. Strategically, deploying an integrated platform
makes immense business sense for us. The comprehensive functionality within LexisNexis
Axxia dna, especially for document and financial management, is excellent and enables us
to avoid the complexities of integrating individual best-of-breed solutions, saving valuable
time, money and effort. LexisNexis Axxia dna is technologically very advanced and well
supported for the future, which also played a key role in our decision making.”

Tim Cheadle, General Manager, LexisNexis Practice and Productivity Management, added,
“We are delighted with the customer interest and positive feedback we are receiving for
LexisNexis Axxia dna. Businesses can see that they are buying into a technology that is
delivering exceptional functionality, but one that empowers them with the flexibility to adapt
to a fast changing marketplace. And contrary to a misconception commonly associated with
integrated platforms, they are not compromising on quality. On our part, backed by our in-
depth knowledge of legal business, a lot of thought and investment has gone into making LexisNexis Axxia dna the robust and superior platform it is today. We are looking forward to a mutually beneficial partnership with Brabners Chaffe Street for years to come.”
