How we help you meet your legal challenges
Public sector lawyers face unique professional pressures everyday. LexisNexis supports legal teams like yours rise above these very real challenges with personalised solutions designed to lighten the load.
When your team's stretched, LexisNexis steps in
We know your legal teams are under pressure. Under-resourced lawyers in the public and third sectors are handling an increased number of housing, social care, child safety, personal injury and dispute resolution cases. Balancing the provision of vital services and a demanding workload is a challenge. Especially whilst contending with staff recruitment and retention difficulties.
LexisNexis can ease the pressure. We provide you with fast and comprehensive tools like Lexis+® Legal Research that will create space for you to focus on what matters most: serving your communities and service users effectively.
Keep pace with rising demand… And rising tech
Expectations are higher than ever. Service users, clients, partners… Everyone wants faster, clearer answers. You're juggling competing priorities and racing against deadlines, all whilst new technologies like AI reshape how legal work gets done. It's easy to feel overwhelmed when time is your most limited resource.
That's why legal professionals like the team at South Tyneside Council rely on LexisNexis solutions like Lexis+ AI™: “I usually have around a hundred tabs open… but with LexisNexis, I estimate around half a day's worth of time (3-4 hours) was saved.”
Tools like Lexis+ AI offer secure, accurate AI for public sector legal teams, helping you save hours on urgent work.
Tight budgets shouldn't mean taking risks
Budgets are tight, and free tools are tempting but they come with risk. In a world of constant legal change and rising cybersecurity threats, your legal team needs a secure legal research platform with content it can trust. For example, one local council told us they had been relying on legislation.gov.uk. However, unbeknownst to them, it had not been updated. “Conversely, Lexis+ was up-to-date and it was confirmed that the relevant Section had been repealed.”
LexisNexis can tailor expertly-maintained legal solutions like Lexis+® UK to your requirements and budget, helping you avoid costly mistakes, maintain accuracy and work securely.
Stay compliant, confident and in control through change
Procurement changes and devolution restructures are adding new layers of pressure upon legal teams. Not to mention a surge in documents, decisions and deadlines. We understand how challenging it is to stay secure, compliant and keep pace with change.
LexisNexis makes sure you're up-to-date with the latest legislation, regulation and Practical Guidance, so you can keep your legal advice and organisation aligned, even through change.
Find a solution that's right for you
Whether you're advising on public law, managing procurement, handling disputes, or ensuring compliance, LexisNexis offers solutions to support your work with confidence and efficiency.

“In terms of recruitment and retention, Lexis+ AI definitely assists South Tyneside Council in retaining and attracting lawyers from elsewhere which is vital in such a competitive market.”
John Rumney
Solicitor and Corporate Lead of Legal and Governance team
“The response times to any queries are fast, and I have found that LexisNexis customer support can generally sort any issues on the same day - sometimes even within the hour.”
Damian Boote
Practice Manager
“Colleagues have told me that the introduction of Lexis+ AI is seen as an investment in them and it gives them the ability to provide a better service to client officers, which in turn provides greater job satisfaction.”
John Rumney
Solicitor and Corporate Lead of Legal and Governance team
“[Lexis+ AI] identified working examples, case law, articles and statutory information upon which [we could be] satisfied of answering a particular question without the need to resort to external advice. In this particular scenario, the cost of Counsel's advice could have been anything between £500 ‐ £1,000.”
Solicitor Advocate
Prosecutions
“If I didn't have Lexis+ Legal Research, I'd have to rely on legislation.gov.uk. Although it's free, very often the legislation isn't up to date. It would have a huge impact on our reputation if we were referring people to the wrong version.”
Catherine Drennan
Head of Legal
“Having all the necessary resources at their fingertips improves efficiency, cuts out unnecessary travel and leads to time savings.”
Damian Boote
Practice Manager
“Fortunately, we can rely on LexisNexis reflecting the most current law - in fact it's even more up-to-date than some government websites!”
