LexisNexis has given lawyers a new home for advising clients and start-ups in the technology and innovation sectors, alongside tools for handling traditional tech contracts and related advisory work.
The newly released “Practical Guidance Technology & Innovation” equips lawyers with expertly authored guidance to navigate complex regulatory, transactional and compliance challenges head-on.
The content was created alongside technical experts and major Australian firms, including Hamilton Locke, Herbert Smith Freehills Kramer, Johnson Winter Slattery, and King & Wood Mallesons. It was then written and developed by consultant ctrl:cyber.
Carol Chris, LexisNexis Pacific managing director, said: “Aligning innovation with legal strategy is critical for both commercial success and responsible oversight of technology development.”
“Practical Guidance Technology & Innovation gives lawyers the tools to make confident decisions in complex areas of technology law, and to deliver excellent client service.”
The solution equips lawyers with the requisite knowledge to help them navigate complex regulatory, transactional and compliance challenges in a dynamic area of business, LexisNexis said.
It also offers ready-made clauses, precedents, checklists and tools, with embedded citations and links to further guidance.
The practice areas range from core topics, such as artificial intelligence, blockchain and digital currency, IoT, and outsourcing, to rapidly evolving technologies such as agritech, biotech and space.
Practical Guidance Technology & Innovation is fully integrated with LexisNexis Protégé, a powerful, personalised legal AI assistant that integrates LexisNexis content with legal workflow technology.
Protégé has been delivering interactive search, intelligent legal drafting, document analysis, and linked legal citations to provide an efficient, accurate and secure platform for legal practitioners.
