• You do realize that this phrase is rather formal and used mostly in written material. (contributor: bamboo4)
  
• i had no idea, so it will be noted! (contributor: dc)
  
• perhaps nisotte is a similar but less formal phrase? (contributor: dc)
  
• Yes, it is. にしたがって（従う） is not as casual as にそって（沿う） and is also not formal as に即して。に従って and に沿って are used in conversation as well.
  (contributor: Miki)
  
• I thought に従って nishitagatte implied more hierarchy, or cause and effect, whereas nisotte is more in parallel?
  
  (fact) nishitagatte (effect)
  
  高い。従って、買わなかった
  It was expensive. Accordingly, I did not buy it.
  
  川に沿って道
  the street parallel with the river (contributor: dc)
  
• Your 従って in the eg above is 接続詞 conjunction.
  My 従って is a transformation of 従う。Yes, 従う implies hierarchy but not all the time. Also 沿う and 従う aren't the same meaning but implications are the same here.

• According to two of my texts, this phrase is written using different 漢字 depending on the nuance: に即して (in accordance with the facts, objective reality, experience, etc.) and に則して (in accordance with arbitrary rules, laws, etc.) Following that, #5151 is not written correctly (boo to ALC). However, I also see that another source uses に即して in both cases, so maybe this is just a nitpicky distinction. Can any native speakers address this? (contributor: srobertson)
  
• In Kanzen master it says 即 is appropriate for things that conform to experience or a situation, and 則 is for when things conform to laws and rules. (contributor: LR)
