Background
"As a barrister, efficiency and accuracy are critical to my practice. I need to quickly access the most relevant legal materials while ensuring the information I rely on is both comprehensive and precise. Having worked extensively with AI-driven tools, I am familiar with their potential—and their pitfalls. When I started using Lexis+, I was impressed not just by its research capabilities but also by its approach to data security, which can often be a dealbreaker when it comes to legal technology."
Challenge
"Legal research often involves sorting through vast amounts of case law, legislation, and commentary. A database may provide a wealth of information but the real challenge is knowing what the right information is and finding it quickly. I need tools that can streamline this process and help me locate relevant legal principles without unnecessary distractions. More rabbits, less rabbit-holes."
How Lexis+ Stood Out
"From the outset, Lexis+ delivered relevant and insightful results, cutting through the noise and presenting only the most relevant cases and analysis. I found that the breadth and accuracy of its search results significantly reduced the time I spent filtering through irrelevant materials."
"A standout feature for me is Argument Analyser, which eliminates the tedium of manually hunting through documents and pleadings for relevant references and related authorities and gives me a headstart on tailoring my research to what is most important. I can instantly see how key legal arguments are linked—allowing me to assess legal reasoning efficiently and only focus on the useful authorities."
"Lexis+’s approach to data security is reassuring. Having worked with various AI products, I know the risks associated with inputting sensitive information. Lexis+ takes a responsible approach to data protection, ensuring that my research and information remain confidential, secure and compliant with best practice."
Outcome
Time-Saving Research, Secure Data"Lexis+ has significantly improved my research workflow. It saves me a great deal of time by delivering relevant documents directly, rather than requiring me to sift through countless cases. The AI-driven insights have also sharpened my legal analysis, ensuring I work with the most relevant, up-to-date legal intelligence available."
"Lexis+ has become an indispensable tool in my practice. It combines cutting-edge AI research capabilities with robust data security, allowing me to focus on strategic case preparation rather than administrative legwork."
