Protégé is the AI assistant layer that powers and connects LexisNexis solutions.

LexisNexis Protégé™ is the legal AI assistant built on authoritative and exclusive LexisNexis sources. It is the only legal AI assistant with direct access to exclusive LexisNexis sources continuously refined and updated by human professionals.

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:
  • Standardize common processes
  • Improve consistency across projects
  • Reduce manual task switching
  • Accelerate document production

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

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

LexisNexis Protégé is designed with enterprise-grade privacy and security safeguards. Key protections include:
  • User-controlled personalization settings
  • No cross-user data training
  • Encryption of sensitive information
  • Compliance with applicable data protection laws
  • Ongoing security assessments and audits

Customers decide whether personalization services are enabled and whether their organization documents are used in AI responses. LexisNexis solutions are built to balance AI capability with confidentiality and compliance

Protégé combines three core types of artificial intelligence used in modern legal AI software:
  • Extractive AI: Extractive AI retrieves specific information from existing legal documents and datasets. Used for precise legal research, document search, and targeted summarization.
  • Generative AI: Generative AI creates new content based on learned patterns. Used for legal drafting, conversational research, document summarization, and timeline generation.
  • Agentic AI: Agentic AI enables software to take action across multi-step processes. Used for guided legal workflows, proactive suggestions, and automated document analysis.

By combining extractive, generative, and agentic AI, Protégé supports research accuracy, drafting efficiency, and structured legal workflows.

Protégé is included within supported LexisNexis solutions such as Lexis+ with Protégé, Lexis Create+, and others. It is not available as a standalone product.
