Lexis+ with Protégé review

Lexis+ with Protégé, formerly Lexis+ AI, is the LexisNexis counterpart to CoCounsel Legal. The Protégé assistant handles research, analysis and drafting from one prompt box, and it drafts transactional agreements as well as motions, briefs, complaints and client letters. Its strongest feature for risk-averse lawyers is Shepard's Verify, which checks citations in AI answers and in your own drafts and flags unsupported statements. Practical Guidance adds expert practice notes and annotated forms across 25 practice areas, and DMS connectors for iManage, SharePoint and NetDocuments let it answer from your own files. Newer additions include Vaults for thousands of documents, shared Workrooms and reusable agent skills, plus optional Lex Machina, CourtLink, Intelligize and Law360 content. LexisNexis offers a free trial but no public pricing, and the product makes most sense for teams already paying for Lexis research.
