LexisNexis Legal & Professional Launches Practical Guidance AI & Technology to Help Attorneys Navigate AI-Driven Legal Complexity

LexisNexis Legal & Professional has introduced Practical Guidance AI & Technology, a new task-based practice area designed to help legal professionals address the growing challenges associated with artificial intelligence, regulatory shifts, and emerging technologies.

As enterprises accelerate AI adoption, legal teams are under increasing pressure to interpret evolving regulations, assess new liability risks, and manage complex, technology-driven transactions. The new offering provides attorneys with structured, workflow-oriented guidance to support critical legal activities—from drafting agreements and advising stakeholders to ensuring compliance and managing disputes involving AI systems.

A Task-Based Approach to Legal Work

Unlike traditional legal research tools organized by topic, Practical Guidance AI & Technology is built around real-world legal workflows. This approach enables attorneys to move seamlessly from identifying issues to executing solutions, improving efficiency and decision-making.

The platform consolidates AI- and technology-related legal content into a single, integrated resource, supporting the entire lifecycle of AI deployment. This includes governance, compliance, transactional work, litigation, and internal policy development.

Carrie Wright, Vice President of Practical Guidance at LexisNexis Legal & Professional, highlighted the need for such innovation:
“AI is evolving rapidly, and legal risk is evolving with it. This solution is designed to align with how attorneys actually work—providing clear, actionable guidance that helps them navigate complexity and advise with confidence.”

Key Capabilities

Developed by experienced practitioners and subject-matter experts, the platform delivers practical resources across several high-impact legal workflows:

• Drafting and negotiating agreements for SaaS, cloud services, AI development, licensing, outsourcing, and data usage
• Evaluating compliance with emerging AI regulations and applying existing legal frameworks to new technologies
• Addressing intellectual property, data ownership, and rights management in AI-driven environments
• Supporting mergers, acquisitions, and investment transactions involving AI-enabled businesses
• Managing AI-related litigation, including discovery, evidentiary challenges, and evolving case law
• Guiding ethical and regulatory use of AI within legal practice, including court rules and governance policies

Integrated AI-Powered Legal Research

Content from Practical Guidance AI & Technology is also integrated into Lexis+ with Protégé, LexisNexis’s AI-powered assistant. This integration enables attorneys to quickly access relevant insights within their workflow, accelerating legal research, drafting, and advisory tasks.

Built for a Rapidly Evolving Landscape

The practice area is designed to continuously evolve alongside advancements in AI and emerging technologies. By incorporating the latest legal developments and real-world use cases, LexisNexis aims to equip legal professionals with the tools they need to stay ahead in an increasingly complex regulatory environment.

With this launch, LexisNexis reinforces its position at the forefront of legal technology innovation—delivering practical, AI-enabled solutions that empower attorneys to manage risk, ensure compliance, and drive better outcomes in a rapidly changing digital landscape.
