You accept, edit or reject

Lexis Create+ in practice
Real workflows from practitioners across UK firms — research, advisory and drafting.
Commercial Contracts
Redlining a counterparty draft
An associate received a 60-page services agreement from the other side, late on a Friday.
Create+ applied AI-assisted redlines against the firm's preferred positions, flagging deviations and suggesting precedent wording inline — the partner reviewed the marked-up draft in under an hour.
Corporate
Drafting from a precedent in context
A junior corporate lawyer drafting a sponsorship agreement needed a confidentiality clause that would survive termination.
Create+ surfaced an EF&P clause with linked commentary and an alternative firm clause, letting the lawyer pick the right wording with full authority — without leaving Word.
Disputes
Research while you write
A litigator preparing submissions wanted the latest authority on a specific procedural point.
A side panel returned cited research and a Practical Guidance note in the same document — the relevant authority dropped straight into the submission with a working hyperlink.
Security & compliance
Lexis Create+ meets the same standards as the legal professionals who rely on it.
Local data hosting
Documents and prompts are processed in your local region — UK/Europe, US, Canada or Australia.
End-to-end encryption
AES-256 at rest and TLS 1.2+ in transit across every document and AI workflow.
Private by design
Your content never trains AI models. Prompts and conversations are purged after 90 days or on request.
Audited and compliant
Independently audited to SOC 2 Type 2 with ongoing vulnerability testing and UK-aligned privacy controls.
Locked AI model use
Models are deployed in secure environments with no access by providers and no training on your data.
Firm-level controls
Admins configure feature access by user, manage deletion policies and govern usage across the organisation.
