Luminance Links To LexisNexis Data + Protégé

Legal AI company Luminance has struck a deal with LexisNexis whereby ‘mutual inhouse customers’ can access LexisNexis’s Protégé AI assistant and its massive data store. It appears to have some similarities to the deal Harvey formed with the legal data giant previously.

The UK-based company, which started off doing NLP due diligence for law firms, but has now shifted to a genAI approach for inhouse contract needs, said that the deal brings ‘trusted citation-backed legal insights from LexisNexis directly into Luminance, helping inhouse legal teams make more informed and verifiable contract decisions’.

This will include ‘seamless access to Lexis+ with Protégé [its own AI assistant] for deeper legal analysis and document drafting’.

Sean Fitzpatrick, CEO Global Legal, LexisNexis, commented: ‘We’re delighted to collaborate with Luminance to help mutual inhouse legal customers.’

Is this a big deal?

Clearly for Luminance this is very useful as they will never be able to assemble the scale of legal data that Lexis has. As for Lexis, the benefits are far less clear. But, one could say that if the linkage is pushing additional traffic to them, or cementing existing customers in place, then it’s a net positive.
