I was at LN (Examen subsidiary) from 2005 to 2010.
Back in 2010, they were working hard on a new search engine and front end UI for it. Alas, they had been sold on a .NET stack, so I imagine that was more expensive to make and scale out than a POSIX based tool set. I have no idea what became of that initiative. I remember pushing to use REST based services for product integration, rather than SOAP, but it wasn't until a year or so after I left that company architects finally got the nod from Gartner and the like that REST is OK, which leads me to think that the central tech group (at the time?) might not be the most forward thinking.
They do have other products, such as the one I was working on to track cases and/or claims, as well as (specialized) integrated billing processing, or, the anti-money-laundering package that my next employer was using in one project.
However, last year, they closed down the Sacramento office where I had worked. I suspect they can make it, but they are going to have to take a lower margin and make more products, rather than just feed off of a document search engine gravy train. Those days are gone.

Come to think of it, both Westlaw and Lexis Nexis actually have a suite of enterprise software. Even if WL and LN dies in terms of search, they're pretty deeply rooted in the marketplace elsewhere where a lot of money is coming in. I completely neglected this part of their business.
