LexisNexis Previews New AI-Powered Capabilities for CounselLink+ at 2025 CLOC Global Institute

May 15, 2025 (5 min read)

By: LexisNexis CounselLink

The CLOC Global Institute is the annual meeting where corporate legal operations professionals from around the world gather to “Open New Doors” each year, so we thought it was only fitting that we chose this year’s event as the venue for previewing the innovative enhancements to our award-winning CounselLink enterprise legal management solution for in-house legal departments.

The 2025 CLOC Global Institute, which took place May 5-8, 2025 in Las Vegas, was attended by more than legal ops professionals at every career level to connect and learn more about how they can transform the business and practice of law. At this year’s conference, they received updates on a number of product development breakthroughs in the legal industry, including some upcoming AI-powered rollouts for CounselLink+.

AI-Powered Matter and Invoice Summarization

LexisNexis Protégé, the next chapter in legal technology innovation, is our new AI assistant that leverages the power of agentic and generative AI to transform legal work. Protégé understands individual preferences and then draws upon our comprehensive repository of authoritative legal content — as well as the user’s own proprietary work product — to serve as grounding data for providing deeply personalized answers, drafts, summaries and more.

This year, we will be rolling out Protégé in CounselLink+. This integration will revolutionize productivity in in-house legal departments by providing actionable insights and summarizations, reducing manual review time and seamlessly integrating into existing workflows.

CLOC attendees were given a preview of why this integration will be a game-changer for legal ops professionals, starting with the “Phase 1” use case that is in testing now: AI-generated summaries for matter and financial management. On the “Matter Overview” page, users will be able to leverage Protégé to create an executive summary that surfaces contextual insights for team members to quickly review. These summaries will include: an overview of the matter/invoice; financial snapshot of the work; key takeaways; and suggested action items the user may want to consider.

These AI-powered summarizations are securely generated from the information available to the currently logged-in user only; all data remains entirely private and protected. No unauthorized data is included in the summaries that are produced and no prompts or responses are stored or used to train the model.

New Reporting Tool

CounselLink will soon offer a robust new reporting tool on the SaaS-based platform. Key capabilities include the ability to create multiple visuals in a single dashboard view, to customize visuals, to save or bookmark visual settings, and to use AI technology to build data stories and create reports.

  • Robust Visualization
    Users can create insightful data visualizations by simply entering natural language prompts into the CounselLink reporting tool. They can click on the displayed visuals to customize themes, fonts and style to fit their unique needs. They can also drag and drop data fields directly into the visuals without having to invest time in layout or design.

  • Fast and Scalable
    CounselLink users can save key data visualizations to their dashboard or share with external stakeholders. They can easily create multiple reports at one time, create new visuals in seconds, and drill down on important details in response to urgent inquiries.
  • Generative AI Support
    CounselLink+ now makes use of generative AI tools for purposes of report generation, creation of executive summaries and Q&As, and building full “data stories” that combine data-driven insights with real-world expert analysis. For example, users can build a report by simply providing a description of what they have in mind within the AI prompt box, and then watch the AI create that report within moments. The data stories feature leverages AI to build full reports, framed in engaging design, to help teams reach conclusions and drive business decisions faster.
