Protégé, LexisNexis’ legal AI platform, is fully localised for the ME
LexisNexis, a global leader in legal intelligence and AI solutions, has announced a significant expansion of its commitment to the Middle East and wider GCC.
The move reinforces the company’s position as the region’s most trusted partner for legal professionals navigating an increasingly complex and rapidly evolving landscape. The announcement underscores a multi-million-dollar investment spanning technology, content localisation, product development and long-term operational presence across the region.
Following more than a decade of investment in the region, LexisNexis has developed one of the Middle East’s most comprehensive legal intelligence framework based on authoritative legal content, advanced technology and deep legal expertise.
Legal AI platform
This foundation underpins Lexis+ with Protégé, LexisNexis’ legal AI platform, which is being extended and fully localised for the Middle East, combining advanced AI capabilities with authoritative regional legal content, practical guidance and workflows designed specifically for the region’s legal practitioners.
Unlike general-purpose AI tools, the solution is grounded in trusted legal sources and developed to support real-world legal work across regional jurisdictions.
As legal and regulatory complexity grows, AI is expected to transform legal workflows over the next three to five years, enabling lawyers to spend less time on routine tasks and more time delivering strategic advice and complex legal analysis.
Providing AI solutions
“At LexisNexis, we are committed to providing legal professionals with AI solutions that are secure, transparent and grounded in authoritative regional content, helping shape a more efficient, informed and future-ready legal ecosystem across the region,” stated Eric Bonnet-Maes, President CEMEA, LexisNexis.
“With more than a decade of investment in the region, we are committed to shaping a legal ecosystem where innovation enhances productivity while maintaining the highest standards of accuracy, security and professional integrity,” emphasized Lara Salem, Head of Content Strategy, LexisNexis Middle East.
As regulatory frameworks continue to evolve alongside AI innovation, LexisNexis believes collaboration between technology providers, legal professionals and policymakers will be essential to ensuring responsible adoption.
The company continues to work closely with lawyers, legal experts and industry stakeholders across the region to ensure its solutions remain aligned with evolving regulatory expectations and professional standards.
