Introducing a new standard for legal AI
Legal professionals don’t think in shortcuts. They think in stages – understanding the task, planning their approach, drafting with care, and reviewing thoroughly.
That’s exactly how Agentic AI works. Embedded in LexisNexis Protégé, it follows the same disciplined process. It breaks down complex legal tasks step by step, evaluates whether it’s met the brief, and refines its output – all before you see a single word. This isn’t just language generation. It’s task execution with context, care, and legal precision.
What is Agentic AI?
Most AI delivers a single-pass response and moves on. Agentic AI doesn’t – it tackles legal tasks like a professional, with structured, iterative thinking. Here’s how we use it at LexisNexis:
Plans its approach
Before it drafts, Agentic AI outlines the task – identifying what’s needed, what the structure should be, and how to tackle each part. It prepares, just like a lawyer would.
Builds and reviews
The AI drafts the content, then tests it against the brief. Did it include everything? Did it follow the right structure? If not, it revises before sharing a result.
Delivers with legal grounding
All outputs are rooted in trusted sources – LexisNexis case law, Practical Guidance, or your own firm’s content – so you get usable, defensible, legally sound results.

Reliable first drafts, every time
Whether you’re generating a contract clause, drafting a letter, or writing a research note, Protégé treats it like a legal task – constructing, evaluating, and refining before you even see the result. You don’t just get words. You get a structured, legally grounded output that’s client‑ready from the first draft.
Smarter in-document editing
Need to expand a section? Simplify a clause? Protégé’s Draft Mode understands your document as a whole. Edits are made in context – so suggestions fit your tone, structure and intent without introducing risk.
Answers grounded in trusted legal content
Protégé doesn’t guess. It draws from LexisNexis sources – case law, Practical Guidance, and even your own firm’s documents if integrated – so your output is built on a foundation of real legal content. This isn’t generic AI. It’s legal insight with provenance.
You stay in control
Agentic AI supports your thinking, not replaces it. It flags gaps, highlights what’s missing, and makes intelligent suggestions. But it always leaves the final decision to you. Like a trusted junior, it gives structure and insight – while keeping you firmly in charge.
Designed for UK legal professionals
Speed without compromise. Quality you can trust.
Whether you’re an associate drafting a share purchase agreement, a PSL refining a new template, or an in-house lawyer responding to urgent client questions, Agentic AI adapts to your workflow.
Every recommendation is traceable. Every source is reliable. And every decision remains yours.
Legal work demands clarity, rigour, and auditability. General-purpose AI doesn’t meet that standard. Protégé does.
