LexisNexis and Luminance Expand Legal AI

LexisNexis® Legal & Professional and Luminance have announced a strategic alliance enabling mutual in-house legal customers to leverage legal AI technology powered by LexisNexis® Protégé™, delivering insights grounded in authoritative legal content and Shepard’s® citations directly within the Luminance platform, with seamless access to Lexis+ with Protégé for more complex, end-to-end legal workflows. The alliance brings trusted, citation-backed legal insights from LexisNexis directly into Luminance, helping in-house legal teams make more informed, verifiable contract decisions.
 
Within the Lumi Legal-Grade™ AI natural-language assistant, customers can ask Protégé legal questions and receive insights grounded in LexisNexis’ industry-leading legal content and linked citations. For example, Protégé will enable users to:

• Validate contract language against applicable law in real time using citation-backed answers grounded in case law, statutes, and Shepard’s citations, reducing risk during negotiation.
• Strengthen negotiation strategies with authoritative legal insight, accelerating contract cycles and improving decision confidence.
• Take guided next steps into Lexis+ with Protégé for deeper legal workflows, using suggested actions to expand analysis, review underlying authorities, generate legal drafts and documents, and complete complex legal work.

"We are building the most complete enterprise AI for contract negotiation, and it all starts from the same principle: AI is only as good as the data behind it,” said Eleanor Lightbody, CEO of Luminance. “Our platform is already trained on over 220 million verified legal documents. Now, on top of this commercial intelligence, we’re enabling mutual customers to access LexisNexis Protégé, which is grounded in the world’s most comprehensive library of case law, statutes, and precedent. No other AI workflow comes close to this breadth and depth.” 
 
“Our priority is to deliver high-quality legal AI workflow solutions and support exceptional and efficient legal work where our customers work,” said Sean Fitzpatrick, CEO Global Legal, LexisNexis. “We’re delighted to collaborate with Luminance to help mutual in-house legal customers benefit from trusted, citation-backed insights within Luminance with seamless access to Lexis+ with Protégé for deeper legal analysis and document drafting.”
