You missed dash in class name. Also you need to remove second dot (first is also not required). So instead of
.//div[@class='footer-bottomleft'].//div[@class='callLogLookUp']
try
//div[@class='footer-bottom-left']//div[@class='callLogLookUp']
You might also need to implement ExplicitWait:
WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 10);
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.xpath("//div[@class='footer-bottom-left']//div[@class='callLogLookUp']"))).click();
Tried : driver.findElement(By.xpath("//div[@class='footer-bottom-left']//div[@class='callLogLookUp']")).click(); .. But it didnt worked

The second double slash//is not needed... it can/should be/, i.e. //div[@class='footer-bottom-left']/div[@class='callLogLookUp']. This would be so much cleaner as a CSS selector ...div.footer-bottom-left > div.callLogLookUp. :)

@JeffC , yes, but in this current case it doesn't really matter as parentdivhas no descendants, but children only. Alsodiv.footer-bottom-left > div.callLogLookUpis not really the same as//div[@class='footer-bottom-left']/div[@class='callLogLookUp'], but//div[contains(@class, 'footer-bottom-left')]/div[contains(@class, 'callLogLookUp')]. CSS selector for the same should bediv[class='footer-bottom-left'] > div[class='callLogLookUp']
