Lexis+ with Protégé is a comprehensive legal AI solution that combines LexisNexis primary law, exclusive secondary sources, and Practical Guidance, Shepard's citation validation and AI-powered drafting, summarization, and analysis tools.

Protégé is the personalized generative and agentic AI assistant within Lexis+ with Protégé. It powers intelligent drafting and redlining, conversational legal research, document summarization, analysis of uploaded materials and workflow automation.

All Lexis+ with Protégé users benefit from seamless access to the Protégé AI assistant as part of the experience.

LexisNexis has always emphasised two critical AI development tenets: Users are in control of personalisation & Data they share is not used to inform performance for other users.

Lexis+ with Protégé is designed with robust privacy and security measures in place to protect sensitive client information and ensure compliance with relevant data protection regulations.

Users can review and manage their personalisation settings at any time, allowing them to adjust the level of personalisation or opt out entirely if desired. Data shared is not used to inform performance for other users.

By putting the user in control and providing transparency around data access and personalisation settings, Lexis+ with Protégé aims to strike a balance between leveraging the power of AI personalisation to enhance legal services and maintaining the highest standards of privacy, security, and user autonomy.

Finally, LexisNexis has a comprehensive data protection programme to safeguard customer information, including encryption, compliance with data protection laws, and regular security assessments and audits.

LexisNexis Protégé™ is a legal AI assistant built on authoritative LexisNexis content and designed for legal professionals.

Unlike general-purpose AI tools or standalone legal AI software, Protégé:

- Is grounded in trusted LexisNexis content

- Provides access to exclusive legal sources unavailable on many other AI platforms

- Can incorporate organisation documents and prior work, when enabled

- Operates within a secure, enterprise-grade legal workspace

- Does not use customer data to train models for other users

- Supports user-controlled personalisation by role, jurisdiction, and practice area

The result is AI-assisted legal work that is more authoritative, secure, and relevant to the way legal professionals work.

A legal AI workflow is a structured, repeatable sequence of legal tasks - such as intake, research, drafting, and review - executed as a guided multi-step process instead of ad-hoc prompts. Legal AI workflows help:

- Standardise common processes

- Improve consistency across projects

- Reduce manual task switching

- Accelerate document production

Protégé supports both pre-built workflows for common legal tasks and customisable workflows aligned to how a legal team operates.

AI personalisation adapts research results, drafting output, and analysis to match an individual users preferences, jurisdiction, practice area, and document history.

Users control their personalisation settings and can modify or disable them at any time.

Protégé now brings the power of leading general AI models from OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google to the secure Lexis+ AI environment, so legal professionals can draft with greater control, explore broader topics, and tackle complex problems without leaving their trusted legal workflow. Users can now choose from multiple configurations for Protégé tailored to their needs. Explore Protégé General AI for more information.

Yes. Lexis® Middle East is backed by a dedicated research team based in the UAE (as well as Oman, Saudi Arabia, and Kuwait), with established relationships with the relevant UAE government bodies. This local presence is what allows new gazettes and legislation to be identified and processed as soon as they are officially released, rather than relying on secondary or delayed sources.

The on-the-ground research team obtains copies of the latest official gazettes and new laws - both federal and at the emirate level - and uploads English translations within days of official release. For UAE lawyers, this closes the gap between a law taking effect and having a reliable, citable English version to work from.

Translation is handled through Sader Legal Publishing, which has operated since 1863 and is described as the oldest and largest legal publisher in the Middle East. Sader is the preferred translator for the Ministry of Justice in the UAE (and the Ministry of Justice in Lebanon), which gives the English translations a level of official grounding rather than being generic or ad hoc renderings - an important distinction given how much legal translation terminology can vary between providers.

The platform provides fully amended, consolidated, and cross-referenced UAE laws in both English and Arabic, along with gazettes covering UAE Federal law and all seven Emirates (plus other GCC jurisdictions and Turkey). It also includes thousands of UAE court case summaries linked to the relevant underlying legislation, so a lawyer can move between a law and the cases that have interpreted it.

Tracking down the correct version of a UAE law and translating it consistently is a recognized pain point - as one customer put it, "the hardest thing is to track down laws; names can change with different translation versions." Lexis® Middle East centralizes this work: a bilingual editorial team reviews over 300 regional newspapers, magazines, and websites daily to catch legal developments, and translations are produced and consolidated centrally so every user is working from the same verified, up-to-date version - rather than each firm re-sourcing and re-translating gazettes on its own.
