Our Commitment

At LexisNexis, we come from all corners of the globe, backgrounds, and cultures to tackle complex challenges for customers. 

We are an inclusive, connected, global community that supports and inspires each other on our journey to make a positive impact in everything we do.

LexisNexis has long been committed to advancing the rule of law around the world. We are committed to doing even more to eradicate racism where it exists to ensure equality for all under the law, transparency of law, independent judiciaries, and accessible legal remedy.

LexisNexis has signed the Business in the Community Race at Work Charter and is committed to its seven calls to action to ensure that ethnic minorities are represented at all levels in our organization:

    • Appoint an executive sponsor for Race.
    • Capture ethnicity data and publicize progress.
    • Commit at the Board level to zero-tolerance on harassment and bullying.
    • Make equity, diversity, and inclusion the responsibility of all leaders and managers.
    • Take action that supports Black, Asian, Mixed Race, and other ethnically diverse employee career progression.
    • Support race inclusion allies in the workplace.
    • Include Black, Asian, Mixed Race and other ethnically diverse-led enterprise owners in supply chains.

    We publicly condemn racism and recognize its deteriorating effects on our society. We believe Black lives matter and we are an advocate for Black lives. We fight against systemic racism, and we use our influence and resources for this cause in several ways:

    • We have committed to making charitable donations over the next five years through cash and in-kind contributions of products, services and employee expertise to improving racial and social justice.
    • LexisNexis has signed a multi-year commitment to partner with the National Bar Association (NBA) to combat systemic racism and racial inequality. The NBA is the United States' largest national network of predominantly African-American attorneys and judges. It represents the interests of approximately 66,000 lawyers, judges, law professors, and law students.
    • We are working with the LexisNexis Rule of Law Foundation and our community of customers, leading legal organizations, NGOs and other partners to raise awareness of inequities and hidden biases in legal systems, and effect change.
    • Our employee-led African Ancestry Network ERG partnered with the LexisNexis Rule of Law Foundation to launch a fellowship program aimed at eliminating systemic racism in legal systems. In 2022, a larger second fellowship cohort was launched.
    • We are using our solutions and data to provide insights into systemic racism in legal systems and support positive change. Many of our legal product offerings contain Deep Data and analytic capabilities that can be used to help illuminate racial and social disparities and support data-driven discussions for change.
    • We publicly support calls for racial equality and justice. We use our social and web channels to advocate for those whose voices may not be heard otherwise.

    We celebrate the individuality of each employee and believe that inclusion and diversity of all types attracts the brightest minds to create the most innovative solutions.

    Here, our amazing colleagues lead and stretch us to be even better—with equal parts drive and support. This is a place where you learn something each day and can invent your professional path forward.

    My Black Tech Experience

    "As a Black/African American woman in technology, I have had many different experiences across multiple industries and roles. At times I have felt overworked, undervalued, underpaid, and sometimes even invisible. But on the flip side, I have had one of the most rewarding careers I could have ever hoped for. It has built my confidence, tenacity, and perseverance. I have had opportunities to work in some incredible places and build/lead some amazing teams to deliver meaningful and impactful work. This has led to more opportunities to give back by mentoring and sponsoring other black girls and women."

    Shari Whitaker
    Director, Cloud and Software Governance

    “As a soldier, back in the early 2000s, I was afforded the opportunity to be assigned to a very diverse unit and team. Currently, I am the only Black attorney on the DDEE team of 10 attorneys. Fortunately, LexisNexis has placed such a tremendous focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion, that I have not once felt like an outsider or that I did not belong with this team. I have been welcomed and embraced from Day 1 and truly love the team I work with.”

    Herb Brown, Esq., MSW
    Data Discovery and Enrichment Expert

    "Being black in any space is always interesting but being black tech is particularly difficult until you find your space. Sometimes there isn't a space for you so you must create one, which can be exhausting but ultimately rewarding. For me being black in tech has always been about finding a space that helps me grow, improve and feel safe to be my authentic self."

    Words of Wisdom

    "Typically, your life skills as a Black/African American showing up each day in the world has already taught you how to thrive versus survive. Apply those as you approach technology which is ever changing and evolving. Always be open to learn and grow, and embrace any failures or difficulties, as the lessons in those are the invaluable ones that will help you uncover the answers to solve your most difficult technical issues."

    Tina DeBose
    Manager of Software Engineering

    "Black representation helps others to envision themselves in a similar position. To inspire them. To see that there are people that look like them in these tech related roles. The tech field is always changing and evolving so it's good to always have a learning mindset because it's always possible for the best way to do something to change."

    Victoria Moore
    Software Engineer III

    "Dream big, then go bigger. Do not accept the narrative, nothing is as it seems. Ask questions constantly and find allies in everything that you do. Diversity is important for progress. Everyone wants to feel valued and respected in a team that appreciates different backgrounds and ideas. Companies should strive to achieve this goal, which will inspire and motivate employees."
