From Inbox to Action: AI-Powered Drafting with Lexis®︎ Create+ for Outlook®︎

Lexis® Create+ for Outlook® transforms the inbox into a drafting workspace for Canadian lawyers. With trusted LexisNexis content, firm precedent, and AI-powered insights, it streamlines email-to-document workflows, reduces errors, and keeps drafting secure, consistent, and efficient — right inside Microsoft 365.

Your Inbox: Where Legal Work Really Begins

For Canadian lawyers, the inbox isn’t just for correspondence, it’s where the work gets done. Client questions arrive, deals progress, and first drafts of contracts often take shape inside long, complex email threads. For many legal professionals, Microsoft® Outlook* is the front line of practice.

And now, that front line has been elevated.

Introducing Lexis Create+ for Microsoft Outlook — the first drafting solution that brings trusted LexisNexis® Canada content, your firm’s best work, and advanced legal AI directly into your inbox.

No toggling between programs. No wasted time. Just smarter, faster drafting, right where you already work.

Seamless Drafting Across Microsoft 365

Now fully integrated into both Microsoft Outlook and Word, Lexis Create+ delivers a consistent drafting experience across your core Microsoft 365 tools by combining:

  • Authoritative Canadian legal content from LexisNexis, including Practical Guidance templates and clauses
  • Generative AI capabilities from our legal AI assistant, LexisNexis ProtégéTM, built to understand Canadian legal context
  • Secure access to your firm’s own documents through connection to your Document Management System (DMS)

Traditional workflows require constant switching between email, research, and drafting tools, slowing productivity and increasing the chance of error. Lexis Create+ for Outlook removes that friction, allowing you to move seamlessly from inbox to action.
