    “At LexisNexis, our mission is to empower legal professionals by seamlessly integrating advanced technology with deep local insights. With the launch of Lexis+ AI with Protégé Malaysia, we are excited to offer a solution that is perfectly aligned with the unique legal landscape of Malaysia, ensuring every practitioner has access to a personalised and intelligent assistant that drives better outcomes,” said Gaythri Raman, managing director, LexisNexis Southeast Asia and India.

    Key Features and Capabilities

    Leveraging proprietary agentic and generative AI technology, Lexis+ AI with Protégé offers a suite of cutting-edge features, including:

    • Document Analysis and Summarisation: Upload and analyse documents with speed and accuracy. Lexis+ AI can summarise large, complex documents and generate concise overviews.
    • Intelligent Drafting: Draft personalised legal documents – ranging from transactional contracts to litigation motions, briefs, and court filings – with the ability to self-review and flag areas for improvement.
    • Graphical Timeline: Generate visual timelines from uploaded documents, highlighting key events and milestones.
    • Dynamic Workflow Suggestion: Receive actionable prompts and automated suggestions based on the type of document and workflow requirements. The assistant can dynamically generate follow-up queries to further tailor outputs.
    • Secure Document Management: Protégé Vault allows users to securely store, upload, and manage thousands of legal documents while performing a variety of AI-driven tasks such as identifying key information, extracting clauses, summarising and drafting.

    Hannah Ariffin, assistant manager, Legal, MAMEE-Double Decker (M) Sdn Bhd, previewed Lexis+ AI. Hannah, in sharing her experience, states, “As an existing LexisNexis user, the transition to Lexis+ AI with Protégé felt seamless. The interface was familiar, and it was easy to get started. Lexis+ AI with Protégé was able to assess favourable terms for a specific party or pull out all related clauses from a document — that proved to be especially useful in my role as an in-house counsel.”

    Transforming Legal Workflows in Malaysia

    The Malaysia launch builds on the successes in the United States, United Kingdom, Hong Kong, and Australia, where LexisNexis has deployed similar innovations in legal AI. Integrating extractive AI (for deep insights and data retrieval), generative AI (for content creation), and now, agentic AI (for autonomous task completion), Lexis+ AI with Protégé is set to transform legal workflows by:

    • Reducing Repetitive Work: Allowing legal professionals to spend less time on mundane tasks and more on high-value services.
    • Improving Outcomes: Enhancing the accuracy and precision of legal documents through advanced self-review features.
    • Personalising User Experience: Grounding AI outputs in locally relevant legal content and tailoring the experience based on the specific needs of the Malaysian market.

    Commitment to Excellence in AI Development

    LexisNexis’ commitment to delivering AI-driven solutions tailored for local markets is evident in Protégé’s deployment. This innovation underscores LexisNexis’ ongoing investment in responsible AI, developed with a robust global technology infrastructure to ensure validated, high-quality insights and content creation.
