Grounded in LexisNexis’ vast legal research and practical guidance content, following a successful commercial preview, Lexis+ AI is now commercially available in Canada, delivering fully encrypted, secure interactions with authoritative responses in seconds.

Toronto, ON – July 25, 2024 – LexisNexis^® Legal & Professional, a leading global provider of legal information and analytics, today announced that Lexis+ AI is now generally available for Canadian customers. This follows the successful commercial launches of Lexis+ AI in the USA, Australia, the UK, and France.

Lexis+ AI delivers trusted responses in a familiar, easy-to-use interface that uses an extensively enhanced LexisNexis proprietary Retrieval Augmented Generation 2.0 (RAG 2.0) platform. Lexis+ AI responses are grounded in one of the world’s largest collections of authoritative and exclusive legal content from LexisNexis, including primary, secondary, analytical content and expansive Practical Guidance modules.

Lexis+ AI provides direct links to underlying citable authority in its responses. This allows users to instantly validate results, reducing the risk of invented content, or hallucinations. Lexis+ AI automatically checks all linked citations against LexisNexis’ content to ensure they are valid.

Developed with input from leading legal professionals across Canada, Lexis+ AI has been built to meet the day-to-day needs of lawyers. Chris Figel, Executive Vice President and General Counsel at AirBoss of America commented, “I think of Lexis+ AI as the new gateway to all services in the LexisNexis universe and will use it that way. In addition, it allows me to explore features and functions which either I was not aware of before, or which didn’t exist.”

The solution’s AI capabilities were built internally at LexisNexis with world-leading tech partnerships, enabling the company to rapidly introduce new features and technology and provide customers with a seamlessly integrated experience across the LexisNexis ecosystem.

Lexis+ AI features conversational search, intelligent legal drafting, insightful summarization, and document upload capabilities, all supported by state-of-the-art encryption and privacy technology to keep sensitive data secure:

• Conversational search simplifies complex and time-consuming legal research by enabling users to conversationally interact with Lexis+ AI, explore new insights, and ask for adjusted and refined output.
• Document drafting instantly produces contract clauses and client communications from a simple user prompt.
• Summarization functionality delivers case summaries in seconds with more content and capabilities coming soon.
• Document upload capabilities enable users to rapidly analyze, summarize and extract key insights from legal documents.

Lexis+ AI offers industry-leading data security and attention to privacy. Uploaded documents are always purged at the end of each session and users can easily manage or delete their prompt conversation history. The solution is continually improving, with LexisNexis legal subject matter experts regularly sampling hundreds of thousands of AI generated answers, to tune and educate the model. LexisNexis employs over 2,000 technologists, data scientists and subject matter experts to develop, test, and validate its solutions and deliver comprehensive, accurate information.

“This is a transformative milestone for the Canadian legal industry. We take immense pride in introducing a ground-breaking generative AI solution that empowers our clients to thrive securely and confidently,” said Sam Puchala, President and General Manager of LexisNexis Canada. “The enthusiasm about Lexis+ AI underscores its game-changing potential, and we are thrilled to provide our esteemed clients with seamless access to our extensive legal resources and state-of-the-art AI capabilities, fortifying their competitive edge like never before.”
