LexisNexis Launches Hosting for Lexis+ AI in AU
LexisNexis® Legal & Professional, a leading global provider of AI-powered analytics and decision tools, announces the launch of local hosting in Australia for the Lexis+ AI product, a transformative legal workflow solution. This significant development empowers Australian legal organisations and law practitioners to leverage the powerful AI capabilities of Lexis+ AI while ensuring their sensitive data remains within Australian borders.
Designed with advanced AI-driven capabilities that empower legal professionals to make informed decisions faster, deliver enhanced work quality, and drive improved value, Lexis+ AI has redefined the way legal work is conducted. Since its commercial launch in May 2024, Lexis+ AI has been adopted by some of the largest law firms in Australia, such as Clayton Utz, McCabes, Holding Redlich, and hundreds of smaller firms.
The introduction of local hosting will allow professionals and academics from firms, the bar, government, and private enterprises to experience the full potential of Lexis+ AI with the confidence that their sensitive information is stored and processed securely within Australia, using both Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft Azure.
LexisNexis Australia’s continued expansion coincides with Katy Fixter's appointment as the new MD of the APAC business. Ms Fixter, who previously served as VP and the GM of global Nexis Solutions, will succeed Greg Dickason, who has relocated to the United States as Chief Technology Officer, Innovation, Infrastructure and Operations of LexisNexis.
“LexisNexis is at the forefront of transforming the legal profession with groundbreaking law tech solutions. I am thrilled to be part of a business empowering lawyers to work smarter, faster, and more efficiently.
“Our recent developments highlight our ability to deliver world-leading solutions to the local market and showcase our commitment to listen, gain feedback, and constantly evolve our offerings to tailor local market requirements.
“The launch of local hosting for Lexis+ AI in Australia marks a critical milestone in our commitment to supporting our customers with secure, innovative, and compliant solutions.
“Australia-based hosting was a key priority for a large segment of our customer base, so I’m pleased we have been able to deliver this significant milestone within the first year of operation for Lexis+ AI,” said Ms Fixter.
