Protégé, which launches in the UK this week, has been developed in collaboration with Eversheds Sutherland, Irwin Mitchell and other law firms. One of its key features is that it has ‘agentic’ capabilities, which allow it to complete multi-step tasks, review its own output and suggest improvements.
For example, it can draft full, tailored transactional documents, and check its own work before turning to human legal professionals for a final review. It will prompt actions based on the type of documents uploaded, such as ‘draft a research note’, ‘summarise’, and will issue follow-up prompts to the lawyer.
Other useful features are that it can create a graphical timeline of events from uploaded documents, securely store tens of thousands of legal documents in a vault, and proactively suggest refinements to queries.
Gerry Duffy, managing director of LexisNexis UK, said: ‘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 to the UK through our world-class, fully integrated AI technology platform.’
Eleanor Windsor, partner and director of knowledge at Irwin Mitchell, said: ‘Working closely with LexisNexis during the development of Protégé has given us the opportunity to help shape a tool that genuinely addresses the practical demands of legal work.
‘The technology will save our teams time and allow them to focus more on strategic client matters.’
Protégé is available across a range of LexisNexis products, including Lexis+ AI® and Lexis® Create+, and has been built to the highest levels of security, compliance and privacy. It is tailored to each user via Document Management Systems.
