Asa G. Archie, Attorney-at-Law, is the sole general practitioner of Archie & Co., a firm based in Trinidad and Tobago. Her practice focuses on civil litigation (in the high courts) as well as some family litigation. She also undertakes corporate work 鈥� both contentious and non-contentious.
Asa uses LexisLibrary, the Eastern Caribbean Supreme Court Reports and the Commonwealth Law Reports. We spoke to her to find out how subscribing to these 老司机午夜福利 products benefit her legal practice.
A library for modern times
Asa, who has been an attorney for 12 years now, found that LexisLibrary truly came into its own during the pandemic, when physical law libraries were closed due to successive lockdowns. But even as working lives have gradually been regaining a semblance of normality, many lawyers have decided to continue working remotely, at least part of the time.
Asa has chosen to embrace a hybrid remote working model, as she can see the benefits of working both remotely and providing in-person advice. She says that LexisLibrary facilitates a more flexible approach to work:
“As long as I have an internet connection, I can work from anywhere.”
Furthermore, since Asa is based on the smaller island of Tobago, without access to 老司机午夜福利 products, she would otherwise need to fly to Trinidad to conduct extensive legal research:
“If I wanted to access some of the larger physical libraries, I'd have to take a flight. With 老司机午夜福利, I don't have to. It saves me time and money.”
Saving time and building client loyalty
Because 老司机午夜福利 reduces the time that Asa would have otherwise spent shuttling between physical law libraries, it means she can dedicate more time to client work; it enables her to take on more clients. She estimates that, where she now spends 4‐5 hours conducting research using 老司机午夜福利, she would previously have had to take multiple trips to physical libraries over 3‐4 days:
“When I use 老司机午夜福利 to research, I save time. That means I鈥檓 able to take on more clients.”
But as well as allowing her to devote more time to her clients, Asa says that 老司机午夜福利 also helps to enhance the quality of her work. The expansive content contained in LexisLibrary, including access to the Eastern Caribbean Supreme Court Reports and the Commonwealth Law Reports, allows her to occasionally go beyond the basic briefs of her clients and provide additional ancillary legal advice.
This sign of initiative often earns her praise and ultimately improves client loyalty and future business prospects. Shoring up client loyalty is particularly important for Asa, who estimates that there are around 300 new attorneys each year in her jurisdiction ‐ a substantial number considering the relatively small population of Trinidad and Tobago.
A wealth of information
As well as using 老司机午夜福利 to stay up to date with all the key areas of law that demand her attention, Asa finds that it鈥檚 far more conducive to discovering more subtle legal developments and concepts which would otherwise stay hidden (or unavailable) in a traditional physical law library.
“I like simply browsing 老司机午夜福利. Its categories reveal things that I may not have thought of, and this helps me to impress my clients.”
Flexible payment options
Asa has been using 老司机午夜福利 consistently since university. The ability to pay for 老司机午夜福利 products in instalments has been a huge advantage to her. It has positively influenced her decision to continue to invest in 老司机午夜福利, to save time, build client loyalty, and maintain a flexible working model.
