LexisNexis Legal & Professional and Luminance have announced a strategic alliance aimed at embedding citation-backed legal AI directly into in-house contract negotiation and review workflows.

The partnership will enable mutual in-house legal customers to access LexisNexis legal AI technology, powered through LexisNexis Protégé, within the Luminance platform. It will also provide insights grounded in authoritative legal content and Shepard’s citations.

 
 

The integration will allow users to validate contract language against applicable law in real-time, strengthen negotiation strategies and authoritative legal insight, and receive deeper legal workflows using suggested actions to expand analysis and generate drafts.

Luminance CEO Eleanor Lightbody said: “We are building the most complete enterprise AI for contract negotiation, and it all starts from the same principle: AI is only as good as the data behind it.

“Our platform is already trained on over 220 million verified legal documents.

“Now, on top of this commercial intelligence, we’re enabling mutual customers to access LexisNexis Protégé, which is grounded in the world’s most comprehensive library of case law, statutes and precedent. No other AI workflow comes close to this breadth and depth.”

Sean Fitzpatrick, CEO global legal at LexisNexis, said the priority was to deliver high-quality legal AI workflow solutions and support exceptional and efficient legal work to customers.

“We’re delighted to collaborate with Luminance to help mutual in-house legal customers benefit from trusted, citation-backed insights within Luminance with seamless access to Lexis+ with Protégé for deeper legal analysis and document drafting,” Fitzpatrick said.
