LexisNexis Launches Protégé AI for Legal Productivity.

LexisNexis Introduces Protégé Personalised AI Assistant

LexisNexis® Legal & Professional, a leading global provider of AI-powered analytics and decision tools, today announced the US general availability of LexisNexis Protégé™, a personalised AI assistant that intelligently powers productivity, drives next-level work quality, and enables legal and business professionals to unlock new economic value. Built with the highest levels of security, compliance, and privacy, Protégé is initially available within the Lexis+ AI® legal workflow solution and Lexis® Create+ for legal AI drafting in Microsoft Word and will soon be available across LexisNexis products.

Developed responsibly with human oversight, agentic AI capabilities in Protégé can autonomously complete tasks based on user goals, including reviewing its work and identifying areas where it can improve its output. This means simplified AI use, accelerated productivity, and enhanced value for the customer. 

Leveraging proprietary agentic and generative AI technology from LexisNexis, Protégé can:

  • Draft full, tailored transactional documents, as well as litigation motions, briefs, and complaints, and check its work before turning them over to human legal professionals for final review. Documents can be further edited directly in Lexis+ AI or exported to Microsoft Word.
  • Suggest legal workflow actions based on the type of documents uploaded (e.g., Draft a Legal Memo, Summarise, Draft an Argument) and dynamically generate follow-up prompts that are personalised to the lawyer’s workflow.
  • Provide prompt assistance, proactively suggesting refinements to queries to help users accomplish their goals efficiently.
  • Allow users to securely upload and save tens of thousands of legal documents to Protégé Vault. Users can perform numerous AI tasks on each Vault to summarise, draft, research, and more.
  • Draft deposition questions based on fact patterns, descriptions of witnesses, and other relevant information.
  • Draft discovery documents, including Interrogatories, Request for Production of Documents, and Request for Admissions.
  • Generate a graphical timeline of events from uploaded documents.
  • Ask questions of or summarise large, complex documents of up to one million characters or approximately 300 pages—a 250% increase over previous processing limits.
  • Enable users to upload transactional documents and conduct streamlined, systematic analyses quickly and accurately.
  • Review an uploaded motion or argument and find similar motions and arguments in the LexisNexis system to help users refine their argument, find stronger authority, and identify potential weaknesses.
  • Link quotes in litigation filings back to source documentation to confirm accuracy.

“LexisNexis is focused on improving outcomes and unlocking new levels of efficiency and value in legal work to support our customers’ success,” said Sean Fitzpatrick, CEO of LexisNexis North America, UK, and Ireland. “Our vision is for every legal professional to have a personalised AI assistant that makes their life better, and we’re delighted to deploy that through our world-class, fully integrated AI technology platform.”

Protégé can be personalised and grounded in a customer’s documents and past work product via Document Management System (DMS) integration and the LexisNexis comprehensive repository of trusted legal content and metadata. This capability gives users:

  • Customisation control for better results and a more tailored AI experience, empowering them to share their role, practice area, jurisdiction, and style preferences to ensure the drafting style and output are highly personalised.
  • Ability to query, extract clauses, and draft from their firm's knowledge base, streamlining access to necessary precedents. DMS integrations include iManage, NetDocuments, SharePoint, and others.
