LexisNexis revolutionizes legal workflows with personalized AI assistant for contract review

Use case typeLegal document summarizationUpdated Jun 13, 2026

LexisNexis Protégé is a personalized AI-powered legal assistant that integrates into Microsoft 365 Copilot and Microsoft Teams, enabling legal professionals to streamline workflows such as contract review, risk assessment, and real-time document collaboration. By leveraging proprietary agentic AI and grounding responses in LexisNexis authoritative content as well as secure client DMS data, Protégé personalizes experiences for each user and workflow. Teams users invite Protégé as a meeting participant, where it summarizes contract clauses, identifies risky language, and escalates action items. The assistant automates meeting prep and follow-up, provides drafting suggestions in Word, and supports a secure, private AI environment. Early pilots demonstrated meaningful improvements to speed, quality, and compliance for legal professionals. The integration launched in preview in May 2025, as part of an ongoing digital transformation for law firms using Microsoft’s generative AI platform.
