How Hex Trust builds legal and compliance confidence with Lexis+ Hong Kong with Protégé

In the fast‑evolving world of virtual assets, legal and compliance teams face constant regulatory change, growing complexity, and increasing pressure to move quickly—without compromising accuracy.

For Federico Fabiano, Head of Legal and Compliance at Hex Trust, confidence is critical.

Hex Trust is a leading financial institution in the virtual assets space. Its legal and compliance function includes 12 professionals, with only two lawyers supporting legal, compliance, and company secretarial responsibilities.

That structure makes reliable legal AI not a “nice to have,” but a necessity.

Why accuracy matters in legal AI

When evaluating AI tools, Federico tested multiple solutions. The deciding factor was accuracy—especially when dealing with complex legal and regulatory questions.

Protégé consistently delivered reliable, accurate answers, even on difficult legal subjects. Built on authoritative legal content, it gives legal and compliance teams confidence in the insights they rely on. 

As Federico puts it, accuracy and reliability are indispensable when choosing AI to support legal and compliance functions. 

Supporting proactive legal and compliance work

Today, Protégé acts as a primary supportive layer for Hex Trust’s legal and compliance team.

It helps the team:

• Conduct legal research in a fraction of the time

• Map regulatory environments across jurisdictions

• Provide more proactive, value‑driven support to the front office

By reducing time spent on foundational research, the team can focus on higher‑value, strategic work—without compromising quality.
