LexisNexis opens customer innovation lab driven by AI to change the future of legal work
What happened
LexisNexis Legal & Professional launched a Customer Innovation Lab in New York City focused on embedding artificial intelligence directly into legal workflows. The lab will create AI tools in close collaboration with legal professionals, deviating from the typical approach where AI is developed independently and later adapted for legal use.
Why it matters
This lab shifts power to legal operators by involving them upfront in AI design, aiming to create solutions that address real workplace challenges. Lawyers and legal teams can expect AI tools tailored to their daily tasks, potentially improving accuracy and efficiency for tasks like research, document review, and case analysis. It also raises the bar for AI vendors, pushing them to engage end users earlier rather than pushing generic legal AI products.
What to watch next
Look for the first AI-powered tools emerging from this lab and how easily they integrate into existing legal systems and workflows. Adoption speed and usability will test if this co-creation model delivers practical value. Also watch competitor moves—other legal tech providers may adopt similar customer-centric AI development to stay relevant.
