It was major news April 4 when the legal research and technology companies Fastcase and vLex announced their merger, creating a single entity that they say now has the world’s largest subscriber base of lawyers and law firms and a legal research library of more than 1 billion documents from more than 100 countries.

Lluis Faus, cofounder and CEO of vLex and now global CEO of the combined entity, known as the vLex Group.
Angel Faus, cofounder and chief technology
