Law360 Subscription Cost and Pricing for Select, Complete and All Access
Law360 quotes every subscription and publishes no price list. Public federal contracts fill the gap: they show what organizations actually paid per seat, and how fast that number drops as the seat count grows. Here are the four tiers, the real numbers, and what to ask for before you sign.
In short
A Law360 subscription costs whatever the sales team quotes, because Law360 publishes no prices. The public record is clearer than the vendor: US federal agencies paid between about 1,100 and 3,700 dollars per user per year for Law360 between 2024 and 2026, with a three-seat account at 3,668 per user and 10 to 24 seat accounts at 1,100 to 1,400. Vendr puts the median contract at 6,075 dollars a year. Law360 sells four tiers (Select, Complete, All Access US, All Access International), takes payment by invoice or phone only, and offers a seven-day trial to professional email addresses. It is a news service, not a research tool. Cases searches US case law for 49 dollars a month. This is informational research, not legal advice.
How we checked this. Law360's FAQ was read live. Its subscription options page now returns an empty page to automated reads, so the tier names and feature matrix come from the Internet Archive capture of October 2025. Per-seat prices are our arithmetic on award records published at USAspending.gov, using the user count and period of performance written in each award. Government buyers purchase through federal schedules, so a private firm's quote can be higher. The Vendr median is reported by Vendr, not by Law360.

The line that matters for most firms runs between Select and Complete. Select is a reading product: you get the stories in your chosen sections. Complete is a monitoring product: dockets, federal case records and custom alerts are where Law360 tells you a competitor sued your client before anyone calls you. The government records confirm the naming change too: a 2024 Department of Transportation renewal describes Law360 Enterprise as "renamed to Law360 Complete".

If a sales rep offers Select at a price that looks like a bargain, check this table first. Without dockets and alerts, Law360 is a very good daily newspaper. Whether that is worth thousands of dollars a seat depends on how much of your work starts with a headline.

What a Law360 seat actually costs per user per year
Federal agencies have to publish what they buy. Six recent Law360 awards state both a dollar amount and how many users it covers, which is more than Law360 itself will tell you.
The pattern is steep. A three-seat account paid 3,668 dollars per user for the year from April 2026. Accounts with 10 to 24 users paid between about 1,100 and 1,400. Mid-size accounts of 8 to 10 seats sat near 2,500. Seat count is the single biggest lever on your price, more than tier.
Two cautions. Agencies buy through federal schedules that often carry negotiated discounts, so treat these as a floor rather than a list price. And private contracts look bigger: Vendr reports a median of 6,075 dollars a year with a range of 5,940 to 11,044, which fits a two or three seat firm deal at government-like per-seat rates or a single seat at a higher one.
Dollars per user per year
Our arithmetic: award total divided by users and by years in the period of performance.
| Buyer | What the award says | Period | Award total (USD) | Per user per year |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Environmental Protection Agency | 3-user yearly renewal | Apr 2026 to Apr 2027 | 11,004 | 3,668 |
| Department of Transportation | Enterprise plan for the chief counsel and deputy | Mar 2024 to Mar 2025 | 5,405 | about 2,700 |
| Department of Energy | 10 subscriptions | Feb 2026 to Aug 2026 (6 months) | 12,870 | 2,574 annualized |
| DHS, Immigrant Investor Program Office | Complete plan, 8 users | May 2025 to May 2027 | 40,384 | about 2,524 |
| Department of Commerce | Complete, 24 users | Jun 2025 to May 2027 | 65,357 | about 1,362 |
| Department of Transportation | 10 users | Calendar year 2024 | 11,092 | 1,109 |
Larger organizational deals run well past these. The Department of Labor paid 42,156 dollars for one year of Law360 All Access from June 2026, and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau 93,252 for a year from September 2026, neither with a published user count. The Department of Transportation record for the chief counsel is cut off after "and the deputy", so we read it as two users.
From Law360's subscription FAQ
How to get a Law360 quote and what changes the number
What the request form asks
Company or firm
Number of attorneys in firm
Are you responsible for group subscriptions?
Practice areas you follow
Every field is a pricing input. Attorney count and group buying set the seat math.
No card checkout
Law360 accepts payment by invoice or over the phone. There is no button that buys a seat, so every subscription goes through a representative and a quote.
A seven-day trial with conditions
Full access, but only with a professional email that has never had a trial; Gmail and Yahoo addresses are refused. Law360 says an extension or a group trial may be possible after it ends, which is worth asking for if several lawyers need to test it.
Unlimited seats unlock the extras
IP passthrough (access for everyone on the firm network without logins) and Law360 news inside Lexis are both tied to an unlimited-seat subscription. If those matter, ask for the unlimited-seat price first, then compare it with named seats.
Training is included
Customized training sessions come at no additional cost, so do not let that be priced into the deal as a line item.
The route small firms miss
Law360 inside a Lexis+ plan
Law360 is a LexisNexis company, and the LexisNexis online store sells a Lexis+ Professional plan to firms of 1 to 3 attorneys that lists all 50 states of case law, CourtLink and Law360. It is priced at 432 dollars a month on a one year term and 324 on a three year term per attorney.
For a solo who wants both research and legal news, that can beat buying the two separately: a single Law360 seat alone appears to cost 2,700 dollars a year or more. The catch is wording. Law360's own FAQ says its subscriptions are sold directly and that Law360 news appears in Lexis only with an unlimited-seat Law360 subscription. Ask the LexisNexis rep, in writing, whether the plan gives you law360.com with alerts or Law360 stories inside Lexis+ only.
Our LexisNexis solo practitioner pricing page has the full store matrix by plan and term, and the CourtLink pricing breakdown covers the docket side of the same plan.
News, research and the overlap
Law360 vs Westlaw Today, Bloomberg Law and Lexis+ on price
| Product | Price | What it covers | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Law360 Complete | Quote only. Federal buyers pay roughly 1,100 to 3,700 per user a year | Legal news across 60+ sections, dockets, federal case records, alerts | Litigators and deal lawyers who need to hear about filings and rulings the day they happen |
| Law360 Select | Quote only, the cheaper tier | Up to 3 sections, no dockets, no custom alerts, no archive | A lawyer with one practice area who reads the daily newsletter and little else |
| Lexis+ Professional (1 to 3 attorneys) | 432 a month on a 1 year term, 324 on 3 years, per the LexisNexis store | Lexis+ research with all 50 states, CourtLink and Law360 listed in the plan | A small firm that wants research and news from one vendor on one invoice |
| Westlaw Today | No published price, sold to Westlaw subscribers as an add-on | Reuters legal news inside Westlaw, plus the Daily Docket newsletter | Firms already committed to Westlaw that want news in the same login |
| Bloomberg Law | Quote only | Research platform with Bloomberg news, dockets and practice tools | Corporate and transactional teams that live in Bloomberg data |
| Cases (us) | 49 a month, or 24 a month billed yearly | Case law search across US federal and state decisions. No news, no dockets | Reading the decision a headline is about, and finding the cases that decide your motion |
Where Law360 wins
Speed and breadth of litigation news. Around 200 articles a business day across more than 60 sections, plus state Pulse coverage and judge information. Westlaw Today is the direct competitor and is sold only to Westlaw subscribers, so Law360 is the one you can buy without a research contract.
Where it falls short
Price transparency and research. You cannot see a price without a sales call, and a story about a ruling is not the ruling. Lawyers who need to read and cite decisions still need a research tool on top, which is why the bundle question above matters.
We compare the two big news and research pairings in Law360 vs Westlaw pricing, and the research seats themselves in Bloomberg Law pricing and cost.
Honest fit, including when to skip it
Which Law360 tier fits your practice
| Practice | Verdict | Reasoning |
|---|---|---|
| Solo or two-lawyer firm that wants industry news | Select, or skip | Small seat counts pay the highest per-seat price in every record we found. Price Select for your one practice area, and check whether the free newsletters already cover what you read. |
| Litigation boutique tracking competitors, judges and new suits | Complete | Dockets, custom alerts and the federal case records only start at Complete. Select gives you the stories but not the alerts that make Law360 a business development tool. |
| Small firm already shopping for Lexis+ | Ask about the bundle | The LexisNexis store lists Law360 inside its Professional plan for 1 to 3 attorneys. Confirm in writing whether that is full law360.com access or Law360 news inside Lexis+. |
| Firm that wants Law360 stories searchable inside Lexis | Unlimited seats only | Law360 says its news appears inside Lexis only for users who have both a Lexis subscription and an unlimited-seat Law360 subscription. A five-seat deal will not do it. |
| Lawyer who needs the ruling, not the story | Not a news purchase | A news story tells you a court ruled. Citing it means reading the opinion and the cases it relies on, which is a case law search job that costs a fraction of a news seat. |
Before the sales call, write down three numbers: how many lawyers will actually log in, how many practice areas they follow, and how many new matters last year started with a news item. The first sets your per-seat price, the second decides Select or Complete, and the third tells you whether Law360 pays for itself.
Two different purchases
A headline tells you a court ruled, not what the law is
Law360 is excellent at telling you, by 9 a.m., that the Third Circuit handed down an opinion in a case your client cares about. The next task is always the same: read the opinion, find the earlier decisions it relies on, and work out what it means for your own matter. That is research, and no news tier does it.
That is where Cases fits. Ask the legal question in plain English and read the US federal and state decisions that answer it, with every citation linked to the opinion. We do not publish news, we do not track dockets and we have no citator, so check citations in a citator before you file. A Law360 seat plus 49 dollars a month of case law search still costs less than most single research seats. Start from our federal case law search, or compare every research seat on our legal research pricing overview.
Questions buyers ask
Law360 subscription questions
How much does a Law360 subscription cost?
Law360 does not publish prices; every subscription is quoted. Public federal contracts show agencies paying about 1,100 to 3,700 dollars per user a year, with three-seat accounts at the top of that range and 10 to 24 seat accounts at the bottom. Vendr reports a median of 6,075 dollars a year per contract.
Is Law360 free?
No. Law360 is a paid subscription. You can read headlines and sign up for some newsletters, and Law360 offers a seven-day free trial with full access, but it requires a professional email address (Gmail and Yahoo are refused) and allows one trial per address. After the trial a paid Select, Complete or All Access plan is needed.
What are the Law360 subscription options?
Law360 sells four tiers. Select covers up to three practice areas, states or industries. Complete covers all of Law360 and adds dockets, federal case records, custom alerts and the archive. All Access US adds Law360 Pulse and the Authority products, and All Access International adds Law360 UK and Canada.
What is the Law360 individual subscription cost?
Law360 has no published individual price, and its quote form asks how many attorneys are in your firm and whether you buy for a group. The smallest public contract we found paid 5,405 dollars a year for a chief counsel and deputy, about 2,700 each. Expect one seat to price at or above that level.
How much is a Law360 Pulse subscription?
Law360 Pulse is not priced separately on the subscription page. It is part of the All Access US and All Access International tiers, alongside the Authority products. The Department of Labor paid 42,156 dollars for one year of Law360 All Access from June 2026, which gives a sense of where that tier starts for an organization.
Can I get Law360 through my LexisNexis subscription?
Usually not by default. Law360 says subscriptions are sold directly through Law360, and its news shows up inside Lexis only for users who hold both a Lexis subscription and an unlimited-seat Law360 subscription. The LexisNexis store does list Law360 in its Lexis+ Professional plan for small firms, so ask exactly what that includes.
Can I subscribe to Law360 online?
No. Law360 takes payment by invoice or over the phone, not by card on the website. You fill out a subscription request form with your firm name, attorney count and practice areas, and a Law360 representative contacts you with a quote. A trial can start immediately while you wait.
Is Law360 worth the cost?
For a litigation or deals practice that wins work by knowing about filings first, usually yes, at the Complete tier. For a lawyer who mostly needs to read and cite case law, no: Law360 reports that a court ruled, and you still need a research tool to read the opinion and the cases behind it.
You read the headline. Now read the decision.
Ask a legal question in plain English and read the US federal and state decisions it returns, with citations you can open. 49 dollars a month, month to month, no sales call.
