Why Legal Risk Evaluation is Critical for In-House Counsel

In-house counsel face unique challenges:

• Pressure to enable business initiatives without slowing them down.
• Responsibility for spotting risk across multiple jurisdictions with leaner teams.
• Expectation to deliver practical solutions instead of just legal issue-spotting.

Legal risk evaluation ensures that company policies not only align with the law but also safeguard the organization against litigation, fines, or reputational harm.

In-house legal teams must evaluate risk proactively to keep business moving while staying compliant.

How Lexis+ AI Supports In-House Counsel

1. Spot Risk with Conversational Search

Instead of sifting through case law or statutes, in-house lawyers can ask Lexis+ AI questions like:

“In Florida, can an employer collect and use an employee’s biometric data, specifically fingerprints, for timekeeping?”

Within seconds, Lexis+ AI delivers jurisdiction-specific insights, backed by cases, statutes, and compliance checklists. Conversational AI enables in-house counsel to surface risks quickly and confidently.

2. Turn Insights into Actionable Drafts

Risk identification is only half the battle. In-house counsel need ready-to-use documentation to keep business moving. Lexis+ AI generates draft consent forms and agreements tailored to state laws and compliance standards.

• Provides strong first drafts that counsel can refine.
• Flags missing clauses that might create liability.
• Suggests clear, compliant language for employee communication.

AI drafting tools help in-house counsel move from analysis to execution quickly.

3. Close Gaps in Policy Language

Gap analysis is critical for in-house teams under tight deadlines. Lexis+ AI identifies missing language (e.g., capacity-to-consent clauses) and suggests text to fill those gaps.

• Insert jurisdiction-specific compliance clauses.
• Expand language for clarity and enforceability.
• Prevent costly disputes by ensuring nothing is overlooked.

Gap-closing features make policy language airtight across jurisdictions.

4. Compare Policies Across Jurisdictions

Most in-house counsel operate across multiple states. Lexis+ AI enables side-by-side comparison of agreements (e.g., Florida vs. Texas consent forms) to spot inconsistencies and align policies.

Document comparison reduces risk of fragmented compliance across offices or business units.
