An Aussie law firm is set to use Lexis AI legal research tool after taking part in LexisNexis trial.
An Australian law firm will be the first in the country to adopt LexisNexis’ generative AI research tool.
Clayton Utz has said it will be taking advantage of Lexis+AI after it took part in a trial of the platform earlier in the year.
The tool will be rolled out to all of Clayton Utz’s lawyers over the next few months.
Emma Covacevich, Clayton Utz chief executive partner, said that after testing Lexis+AI, the firm is proud to be the first to take up the tool.
“AI continues to be a real opportunity for law firms – and indeed all businesses – to rethink the way we offer our services,” Covacevich said in a statement.
“Products like Lexis+AI, when deployed with appropriate use guardrails, offer efficiencies that haven’t previously been possible. And while no AI solution is perfect, the rapid advancements in this space are exciting.
“We’ve been trialling AI tools for legal research, document review and drafting, as well as in our business support areas like IT and marketing, and we know that some of our traditionally labour-intensive tasks can be completed more efficiently or effectively when assisted by AI tools. That’s what makes Lexis+AI particularly exciting for our lawyers and our clients.
“We were proud to assist with the development and testing of Lexis+AI. The tool will complement our lawyers’ expertise by making legal research easier and more efficient, so we’re excited to deploy the product across the firm.”
Greg Dickason, managing director of LexisNexis Asia-Pacific, said this is a “momentous time” for the legal sector.
“We are delighted to deliver generative AI that will safely and securely accelerate Clayton Utz’s success,” Dickason said.
“Lexis+AI is the fastest generative AI solution with citations linked in its responses, providing trusted legal results backed by verifiable authority. It minimises the risk of invented content and checks citations against its authoritative content to ensure citation validation.”
