LexisNexis

What is LexisNexis?

LexisNexis offers legal and business research products, and its Protégé AI assistant appears across them to provide conversational search, summaries and document drafting help. Lexis+ with Protégé serves law firms and legal teams with practical guidance, document analysis and Shepard's citation analysis. Nexis+ with Protégé serves business professionals with company and financial information plus news search across 30K+ licensed sources and a 45+ year archive. LexisNexis says many products work with Microsoft Word, Outlook and SharePoint, and Lexis Create+ lets people draft, cite and review inside Microsoft 365. Prices are not listed. Nexis pricing varies by subscription term and number of users, individual subscriptions can be bought online as three-month or annual terms, and multi-user and enterprise packages need a quote from the sales team. Demos are available on request.
