LexisNexis Legal & Professional has not been shy about investing in analytics technologies in recent years, with Lex Machina and Ravel Law among the acquisitions they’ve made to bolster their data suite. Now, the company is moving into contract analytics, forming a venture with data analytics company Knowable.

The two announced on July 18 that the companies have entered into an agreement to form a joint venture via LexisNexis investment in Knowable. Through the deal, Knowable will remain independent, though will receive access to LexisNexis’ brand, resources and infrastructure, according to a press release announcing the deal.
