Last week, Oakley Capital, a major European private equity investor, said that it had acquired majority ownership of vLex , the international legal research platform that lays claim to having the largest collection of legal information on a single service. On episode 174 of the LawNext Podcast , Robert Ambrogi, the publisher of LawSites is joined from London by Masoud Gerami, managing director, vLex Global Markets, who oversees vLex in the UK, Ireland, Asia Pacific, Africa, the Caribbean and North America. They talk about this latest news and what it means for vLex, and also talk more generally about the company and its research platform. For those who haven't met Masoud, he joined vLex in 2019, when it acquired Justis Publishing Ltd., a 33-year-old UK-based online legal publisher. He had been managing director at Justis since 1986. He has a master’s degree in computer science from Swansea University. vLex were a sponser of the ALLA Conference 2022.
