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.

LexisNexis, a global information and analytics leader, transformed legal workflows by integrating Microsoft Copilot for Microsoft 365 and building custom AI solutions directly into Microsoft Teams and Word. Leveraging Copilot's extensibility, LexisNexis launched Copilot extensions such as Ask Legal—empowering legal professionals to retrieve policy answers and manage requests within Teams. Complementing this, they developed a proprietary Lexis+ AI-powered custom copilot for Teams, facilitating generative AI for legal document drafting, summarization, and conversational search over an extensive legal library. These agentic solutions, built with Bot Framework SDK, Teams AI library, and supported by GitHub Copilot, not only enhance productivity and workflow automation, but also strengthen data security through integration with Microsoft Entra ID. The deployment led to faster drafting, aligned search experiences across Microsoft apps, and significant reductions in context switching for legal professionals globally.
