On 20 October LexisNexis UK sold a portfolio of approximately 600 titles to Tottel Publishing, a company set up by Jim Smith, a former UK publishing director of LexisNexis Butterworths. The sale includes bound books and some 70 looseleaf works, journals and newsletters, as well as the entire Irish list and many of the titles published by LexisNexis UK in Scotland. LexisNexis say they “remain fully committed to legal and tax publishing, in hardcopy and online formats. Our strength as a publisher is derived from our long association with the UK’s best-known and respected titles, and we remain closely associated with them, and indeed we will maintain our position as the UK’s leading legal and tax publisher.”
