Corporate: Strengthening Quebec and Western Canada Coverage

This month’s Corporate updates deepen support for practitioners handling transactions across multiple jurisdictions. The focus is on Quebec corporate law, with new resources designed to help lawyers manage complex deals, limited partnerships, and local corporate resolutions more effectively.

These additions align with the continued development of LexisNexis Protégé^TM, reinforcing the value of automation and tailored precedents in sophisticated corporate work.

Employment: Expanding French-Language and Automated Tools

Employment practitioners can now take advantage of new French-language content and automation features that streamline drafting for Quebec-specific matters. These updates help lawyers navigate workplace human rights, discrimination claims, and employment contracts with greater precision and speed.

The release also includes Practical Guidance’s first French-language automated employment agreement template, making it easier to generate customized, compliant documents through an intuitive digital workflow.
