Informa Law

Informa Law provides a wide range of information to specialists practising in the fields of maritime, commercial, insurance and intellectual property law and financial services regulation and white collar crime. The division's flagship product is Lloyd's Law Reports, which is recognised as the leading case reporting service for maritime and commercial law with an archive stretching back nearly 90 years.

The magazines Trademark World and Patent World are also very well-established in their markets and in 2004 launched a successful annual awards ceremony which further cements their reputation for independent, expert coverage of the market.

Compliance Monitor, Money Laundering Bulletin and Fraud Intelligence newsletters provide comprehensive analysis of current legal and regulatory developments and the practical issues that confront industry professionals, both in complying with statutory obligations and proactively combating financial crime.

The business publishes across a diverse range of formats from books (such as Time Charters and Voyage Charters in the Lloyd's Shipping Law Library) and looseleafs (Clarke on Law of Insurance Contracts; Merkin on Arbitration Law) through to online services, magazines, newsletters and directories.

At the start of 2006, it launched i-law, its new online service that brings together some 20 of its market-leading publications into the online environment. I-law is a powerful database that enables users to search across archives of multiple products at the same time, thus significantly enhancing and speeding up the legal research process.

Another successful recent new launch is a monthly newsletter covering key legal issues affecting the pharmaceutical industry, called Pharmaceutical Law Insight.
