LexisNexis, a provider of content and technology solutions, announced this month, together with Reed Elsevier Properties SA, that it has acquired the publishing brands and businesses of Sheshunoff and A.S. Pratt from the Thompson Media Group.

The Sheshunoff collection of publications includes more than 100 titles offering expert information for the financial services industry with a strong focus on federally regulated banking and credit union lending activities. The A.S. Pratt collection has established itself as the “gold standard” of analytical content for the banking and commercial practice areas and includes 40 industry-leading titles covering key legal and regulatory issues, including treatises, journals and newsletters such as the Banking Law Journal, Pratt's Letter, Brady on Bank Checks, Clark's The Law of Secured Transactions, and others.

Both collections will continue to be offered in print format. Additionally, LexisNexis intends to enhance the value of these titles by offering them through digital channels, including as e-Books and online.

Financial details of the transaction were not disclosed.
