Legal information and analytics provider LexisNexis launched the Australian commercial preview of Lexis+AI, a generative AI solution that transforms legal work.
Claiming it features one of the largest repositories of accurate and exclusive legal content, Lexis+AI combines generative AI with LexisNexis search technology and content.
LexisNexis said its generative AI solution produces 1.23 million documents in seconds. It expects that Australian lawyers will save an average of 11 hours per week across research, drafting, client communications, and case summarisation activity.
Lexis+ AI technology features conversational search, insightful summarisation, and intelligent legal drafting and document upload capabilities, all supported by encryption and privacy technology to keep sensitive data secure.

All results are backed by verifiable, citable authority or source.
LexisNexis highlighted the following features:
Conversational search - simplifies the complex and time-consuming legal research journey, providing a search experience for diverse legal questions with citations
Enhanced summarisation - provides a custom summary of legal documents to speed up and guide insightful analysis.
Generative document drafting - guides customers throughout the legal drafting process, generating a first draft of a legal document, and allowing users to change the language and tone from a simple prompt.
Document upload capabilities - enable users to analyse, summarise, and extract key insights from legal documents.
The Australian launch follows the release of Lexis+AI in the US. Lexis+ AI was also rolled out to leading US law schools.
Earlier this year, Lexis+ AI was launched to commercial preview users in the UK and Canada. Rollout across France will follow Australia.
“The Lexis+ AI solution is a proven first-of-its-kind tool for lawyers and will dramatically improve the speed, quality, and effectiveness of their practice and business regardless of where and how they practice law. We have taken a customer-first approach to all our innovation, research, and product development,” said LexisNexis Asia Pacific managing director Greg Dickason.
LexisNexis is partnering with law firms Clayton Utz and Holding Redlich as part of its commercial preview program to tap into their expertise for advice and feedback.
Law firms Clayton Utz and Holding Redlich said they have adopted the solution to ramp their legal research capabilities.
“As LexisNexis is a key content provider, we see its AI solutions having an important role in our own AI program and helping us to deliver a new level of client experience,” said Clayton Utz chief executive partner Emma Covacevich.
“We are supporting the research and development of generative AI across the industry. LexisNexis is a key content provider, so their roadmap will be closely watched and will inform our own innovation program so that we continue to deliver tailored legal solutions for our clients,” said Holding Redlich chief knowledge officer Keren Smith.
“LexisNexis has been leveraging artificial intelligence technology, including natural language processing and large language models, in our legal solutions for years, and we’ve been using generative AI in our research and development labs for more than two years. We have invested more than $1 billion into this technology, and feedback across the US and Europe has been incredibly encouraging. We are truly excited to see this launch in Australia,” said LexisNexis legal and professional chief technology officer Jeff Reihl.
