Will my price change?

You can move your current subscription over to VitalLaw as is or take advantage of additional VitalLaw offerings; please discuss this with your Wolters Kluwer Account Manager.  

Will I need training to get comfortable with the VitalLaw® platform? 

Highly unlikely! VitalLaw® has the same look and feel as VitalLaw® for Corporate Counsel, with individual Topic pages (called Practice Areas on VitalLaw ), primary source dashboards, search functionality, alerting, and customization options.  

Where are my Topic pages on VitalLaw®? 

On VitalLaw®, we organize this content into Practice Areas. You’ll see some slight differences in naming and layout, but all your content and tools from VitalLaw® for Corporate Counsel are there.  

Will my news alerts automatically transfer to VitalLaw?

Check out these instructions for subscribing to news on VitalLaw® or sign up for one of our VLCC to VL Migration webinars.  

Will my custom changes to dashboards and Saved Items (saved searches, folders, and favorites) automatically transfer to VitalLaw®?

No, you’ll need to recreate customized and saved items on VitalLaw® as well.  

Simply follow the instruction links provided below or sign up for one of our VLCC to VL Migration webinars: 

We set up Digital Rights Management (DRM) to allow members of our organization to access VitalLaw® for Corporate Counsel content. Will our DRM connection transfer automatically to VitalLaw®?

No, since DRMs are set up in-house, you’ll need to change the link on your end. To switch the link to VitalLaw®, replace the VitalLaw® for Corporate Counsel URL link (corporate.vitallaw.com) with the VitalLaw® URL link (my.vitallaw.com) in your DRM setup. 

Are there specific advantages to the VitalLaw® platform?

Yes!  VitalLaw® AI Assistant is available only on the VitalLaw® platform and provides search results with concise, accurate AI answers with links to relevant source documents. AI Assistant – Conversational Chat also allows you to clarify complex legal concepts, uncover valuable connections between documents, and generate client-facing materials.
