McCabes partners with LexisNexis, implements GenAI platform
National law firm McCabes has partnered with legal technology provider LexisNexis and adopted its AI-powered legal platform to drive efficiency and transform legal practice.
In a move to benefit both its clients and practitioners, McCabes has adopted Lexis+AI, an AI-powered legal platform designed to transform legal work by providing citations linked in its responses to provide verifiable legal results.
This partnership with LexisNexis gives McCabes advanced research and case analysis capabilities, offering efficiency gains and other far-reaching benefits.
LexisNexis first launched Lexis+AI into the Australian market earlier this year, with information grounded in one of the world’s largest repositories of reliable and exclusive legal content from LexisNexis.
McCabes will be deploying the platform across its commercial, government and insurance divisions, and managing principal Andrew Lacey said the platform would be a valuable tool.
“Utilising the most effective and secure technologies is crucial in delivering forward-thinking and competitive services to our clients,” he said.
“The integration of Lexis+AI has reshaped our workflow and is a valuable addition to our toolkit. It enables our practitioners to accelerate legal research and the preparation of legal advice, based on trusted sources with linked legal citations that can be verified.”
Lexis+AI also features conversational search, intelligent legal drafting, insightful summarisation, and document upload capabilities, all supported by state-of-the-art encryption and privacy technology to keep sensitive data secure. Market research conducted by LexisNexis also found that communication, research, and improved work quality are currently the most common uses for generative AI tools in the legal profession, according to Asia-Pacific managing director Greg Dickason.
“McCabes has exemplified how forward-thinking firms can leverage AI tools to optimise productivity, administering data-driven decision making that benefits client outcomes,” he said.
“Our AI tools are designed not only to streamline processes but also to uphold rigorous standards of accuracy and data security.”
