LexisNexis Unveils Launch of Protégé AI Workflows

LexisNexis® Legal & Professional has announced the US Commercial Preview Program of LexisNexis Protégé™ AI workflows for legal professionals, introducing authoritative legal workflows backed by LexisNexis citable authority in an easy-to-use user interface. Unlike non-legally grounded AI tools, Protégé workflows revolutionise legal work through an AI infrastructure uniquely designed to meet rigorous legal standards. AI interactions are grounded in authoritative LexisNexis content, anticipate next steps, and seamlessly integrate with internal documents.

Protégé workflows simplify complex legal work by automating tasks and delivering consistent, high-quality results across teams, freeing legal professionals to focus on strategic work. Through step-by-step guidance, Protégé leads users through workflows that combine prompts, drafting, review, and citation checking into scalable, repeatable legal processes. The Protégé integrated AI platform brings together the best of emerging AI workflow experiences within a private, secure, purpose-built legal workspace unique to LexisNexis.

“We’re focused on delivering easy, powerful workflow capabilities for legal customers wherever they work, and whether they prefer to start by using their own internal documents or trusted LexisNexis content,” said Sean Fitzpatrick, CEO of LexisNexis North America, UK & Ireland. “Customers have asked us for legal workflow solutions they can trust that naturally integrate with their existing processes, and we’re delivering that with Protégé workflows.”

Protégé has multiple flexible workflow capabilities, backed by Shepard’s® Citations:

• Pre-Built, Configurable Workflows – A ready-to-run library of hundreds of automated workflows. Workflows can be launched as-is or tailored with firm-specific guidance. These include: 
  • Litigation Workflows – Workflows designed to support disputes, motions practice, discovery, and case strategy. Examples include drafting a motion to dismiss, drafting full discovery and deposition documents, identifying top cases by fact pattern or legal concept, extracting facts, and comparing similar arguments or laws across jurisdictions.
  • Transactional Workflows – Workflows focused on contracts, deal execution, and risk assessment. Examples include drafting a transactional document or clause, generating first-pass agreements from term sheets or templates, redlining agreements against internal standards or playbooks, analysing key provisions and identifying high-risk clauses, reviewing contracts for diligence risks, and extracting key obligations and liabilities.
  • Broader Legal AI Workflows – Designed for daily legal tasks in a private, secure workspace, powered by the latest AI models from Anthropic and OpenAI, and, in the US, integrated with LexisNexis primary law and Shepard’s® Citations. Examples include drafting a client alert, extracting a timeline of key events, summarising an interview, and transcribing audio to text.
• Custom Workflow Builder – A no-code builder that lets legal professionals consistently deliver high-quality, complex work at scale. Users can choose their preferred AI model and design custom, multi-step workflows for virtually any legal task. Workflows can be tested before publishing, saved to a personal Workflow Library, and shared across teams, turning organisational knowledge and legal best practices into repeatable systems.

Following the Commercial Preview Program, a customer-first approach to innovation that taps into the expertise and feedback of leading law firms, corporate legal departments, and other legal professionals, Protégé workflows will roll out broadly in 2026. Pre-built and configurable workflows, along with the Workflow Builder, will launch across the US, Canada, UK, Europe, and Asia Pacific markets and quickly expand with advanced practice-area and additional agentic workflows throughout the year.
