It will enable us to maximise the value of the legal intelligence we already access from LexisNexis.’

The firm said Lexis+ AI’s search would enable lawyers to ask questions as they would to a trusted colleague, with cited and linked answers. Case law summarisation would be provided from a simple request, as well as first-draft contract clauses and client communications. Lawyers will be able to extract key insights within seconds.
