Partnership Makes Authoritative Research Even Easier for Legal Professionals

(RIVERWOODS, ILL., March 13, 2007) – CCH, part of Wolters Kluwer Law & Business, today announced that law firms subscribing to the CCH® Tax Research NetWork will now be able to access tax-related content from BNA via CCH.

As a result of an agreement with BNA, a selection of BNA’s premier tax resources, including the rich, in-depth transactional analysis of BNA Portfolios on topics such as income, estate, state and international taxation, are now available to legal professionals from a CCH Tax Research NetWork session. The agreement is an extension of the partnership that CCH and BNA already have in place serving tax and accounting professionals.

With this extended partnership, CCH has further advanced its online platform as a single source for the most trusted resources and tools professionals need to do their jobs with confidence and efficiency.

“CCH’s legal professional customers have used our award-winning tax research information and tools and BNA content side-by-side for years,” noted Stacey Caywood, vice president of the Wolters Kluwer Legal Professional group. “Through the extension of our successful existing partnership with BNA, legal professionals can now seamlessly access BNA research material from the CCH Tax Research NetWork , moving from one trusted source to another without interrupting their research workflow.”

For CCH subscribers, available content now includes more than 400 BNA Tax Management Portfolios featuring in-depth analysis, clear and concise explanations and actual work product. The Portfolios cover a broad range of federal, state and international tax topics. Each Portfolio identifies the planning opportunities and pitfalls surrounding a specific tax subject.

CCH subscribers can also gain access to a wide selection of news services including BNA’s Daily Tax Report, which monitors all major domestic and international tax developments affecting U.S. tax laws, and examines the impact of new IRS regulations and other tax developments and events. Additionally, subscribers will be able to access a comprehensive range of BNA journals with U.S. and international tax focuses.

“We’re delighted that legal professionals will now benefit from this successful partnership, which reinforces CCH’s strategy to be the professionals’ first choice in key practices areas, such as tax,” said Caywood.

“This expanded agreement now ensures the greatest number of customers have convenient and efficient access to unparalleled content,” said Greg McCaffery, BNA Chief Operating Officer and President of Tax Management Inc. “Subscribers to the CCH Tax Research NetWork can now have access to the wealth of BNA news and analysis – including BNA Portfolios – from within the same platform they use routinely to access their other research information.”
