Lex Res Data Science and Analytics Pvt. Ltd. (Lex Res) was incorporated in May 2022 with a mission to make legal research easier for law professionals; from students, interns, paralegals to lawyers, counsels and even judges.
While intricate knowledge of law is a must for every legal professional, it is equally important that the members of the public be aware of the laws that they are geverned under and subject to. Our long term vision is to bring about awareness of the various aspects of law to the common man.
Not unlike most organisations, Lex Res was born out of extensive discussions, countless meetings and coming together of like minded people, from different qualifications, work experience, ideas and have lent unique perspective but the common denominator was to create something worthwhile and maybe even spectacular by collaborating with people they've known for years.
The core team of Lex Res consists of 6 members who are friends and family and know at least 2 people within the core team for more than a decade at least. Moreover, they share a fantastic rapport and a firm belief in the mission.
An idea that led to discussions. Discussion led to meetings. Meetings led to people joining our team. More people joining our team led to more meetings, which in turn lead to more ideas and eventually the grand plan. The relation between the idea and the team has been one constant loop and growing stronger.
