How Lexis+ AI® Transforms Litigation Risk Assessment

November 05, 2025 (4 min read)

Litigation Risk, Simplified with AI

Litigation risk assessment has always been a high-stakes challenge for attorneys. Traditional research methods require hours of sifting through dockets, filings, and precedent—often yielding inconsistent results and slowing down decision-making. For in-house counsel, that means less time for strategy and more time stuck in research.

Lexis+ AI changes the equation. It delivers litigation risk insights in minutes, not days—summarizing case posture, surfacing relevant precedents, and highlighting judicial tendencies in plain language. Built on LexisNexis unmatched legal content, Lexis+ AI is designed specifically for attorneys who need fast, reliable, and actionable answers.

And when combined with other LexisNexis® tools, attorneys gain a complete view of risk factors, from judge behavior to complaint monitoring to opposing counsel profiles.

Lexis+ AI is the foundation of smarter litigation risk assessment, while the wider LexisNexis ecosystem ensures no angle of risk is overlooked.
