LexisNexis Martindale-Hubbell's Lawyers.com Web Site Selected as 2004 Model of Excellence Award Winner
NEW PROVIDENCE, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 29, 2004--Lawyers.com, the number-one attorney directory on the Web for consumers and small business professionals, has been honored with InfoCommerce Group's 2004 Model of Excellence Award.
Lawyers.com is operated by LexisNexis Martindale-Hubbell, the leading client development company for the legal profession.
The award was announced last week by the editors of InfoCommerce Report, the leading newsletter on database publishing. Their annual selections are completely independent and made entirely based on product merits, recognizing true examples of innovation and success in the area of commercial database products. Past winners include highly regarded companies such as Dun & Bradstreet, BankRate.com and Microsoft.
"Martindale-Hubbell's lawyers.com product is a successful example of how B2B publishers can, with the right content, re-purpose it for the consumer market, and then use the Internet to achieve a level of distribution and use that would never have been possible in print," said Russell Perkins, chief executive officer of InfoCommerce Group. "By targeting the consumer market, Martindale-Hubbell is evolving into a true client development service for lawyers. This transformation of a 135 year-old publisher is remarkable and makes this company a true 'infocommerce' exemplar."
According to Paul Gazzolo, chief operating officer of New Providence, N.J.-based LexisNexis Martindale-Hubbell, "We are deeply honored to receive the Model of Excellence Award because it recognizes the hard work of our employees who have helped develop lawyers.com into the number-one attorney directory on the Web for consumers and small business professionals. We're optimistic that our position of market leadership will continue to grow as we unveil new features, new content and exciting new Web partnerships to further drive visitor traffic to our law firm customers."
