Thomson Reuters enters into definitive agreement to sell FindLaw business to Internet Brands pending regulatory approvals

Thomson Reuters, a global content and technology company, today announced it has entered into a definitive agreement to sell its FindLaw business to Internet Brands. Internet Brands is a fully integrated online media and software services company that is a leading operator of digital platforms in high-value vertical categories, including Health and Legal.

Over the last 20 years, FindLaw has established itself as a premier destination for legal assistance and a key marketing platform for law firms. Internet Brands’ proprietary operating model has powered best-in-class digital platforms for consumers and commercial partners since 1998 and is well-positioned to invest in and expand the FindLaw business.

This transaction will allow both Thomson Reuters and Internet Brands to concentrate on their strategic priorities, ensuring customers continue to receive top-tier service and support from FindLaw.

The transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2024, pending regulatory approvals.

Centerview Partners LLC served as financial advisor to Thomson Reuters.
