1) You need a globally oriented legal research platform as your primary tool
If primary research needs focus on US/UK multi-jurisdictional practice with deep integrations into global firm workflows, ASPI is likely a complementary, jurisdiction-specific tool rather than the primary platform.
2) You cannot tolerate platform transition risk in 2025–2026
If your organization is risk-averse to UI or workflow changes, and a mandatory migration to ASPI New Generation would disrupt operations, consider delaying renewal until feature parity is confirmed or evaluate alternatives in parallel.
3) You require public enterprise security documentation prior to procurement
ASPI public pages do not clearly show product-specific SOC 2 or ISO certifications; if procurement requires immediate public attestations, expect additional review time or requests for documentation under NDA.
4) Your practice is strongly anchored to a competitor’s editorial library
If your workflows and citation practices depend heavily on another vendor’s commentary (for example, Beck), that platform may offer higher perceived value for those specific editorial needs.
5) You need transparent, simple self-serve pricing
ASPI pricing is modular and often quote-driven; organizations seeking frictionless, card-based SaaS procurement may find the process less straightforward.
