Lexis® Create+ for Microsoft® Outlook®: AI-Powered Legal Drafting That Starts in Your Inbox

By Muthuraman KasiViswanathan | Group Product Manager, LexisNexis Legal & Professional 

Your inbox isn’t just for correspondence: it’s where legal work begins. Deals move forward, clients ask tough questions, and contracts start taking shape—often in the middle of messy, multi-threaded email chains. For many attorneys, Outlook is the front line of legal activity. 

And that front line just got a serious upgrade. 

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

No toggling. No time lost. Just smarter legal drafting, right where you already work. 

Seamless Drafting Across Microsoft 365

Now fully embedded in both Microsoft Outlook and Word, Lexis Create+ delivers a seamless drafting experience across your core 365 tools, integrating: 

• Authoritative content from LexisNexis, including Practical Guidance templates and clauses 

• Robust generative AI capabilities from our generative AI assistant Protégé™ 

• Trusted firm documents via secure connection to your Document Management System (DMS) 

Traditional workflows force attorneys to toggle between email, document and research tools, costing time and increasing the potential for error. Create+ for Outlook removes that friction, enabling you to move smoothly from inbox to action.
