The Thomson Corporation announced the acquisition of Oden Insurance Services, Inc., a provider of insurance compliance and advisory information and workflow tools. Oden will be aligned with Thomson West in the company's legal segment.

Oden is known for its compliance and regulatory content and workflow tools. Its team of editorial specialists is recognized for the ability to organize, summarize, and interpret insurance regulations.

Tim Wahlberg, Thomson West vice president, believes Oden's editorial expertise and leadership position in the insurance compliance market provides a powerful complement to West's legal research information and software offerings. "Compliance and advisory are among the fastest-growing sources of litigation," he says. "Our strategy is to build on our position by creating specialized offerings for specific practitioners in areas such as insurance. Oden also provides a suite of insurance workflow software tools that are a powerful channel for delivering Oden and West content to this strategic market."
