AI Is Speeding Up Junior Lawyers’ Work but Raising Questions About How Judgment Is Learned

2026-02-02T18:40:00Z

New LexisNexis research finds that while AI is boosting productivity, firms must rethink how junior lawyers develop legal judgment, confidence, and critical reasoning.

LONDON, 02 February 2026 – LexisNexis® Legal & Professional, a global leader in private, secure, authoritative legal AI workflow solutions, announces today a new survey suggesting that while AI is transforming how legal work is done, it is also reshaping how junior lawyers learn, with significant implications for legal training, mentorship, and leadership.

Findings from The mentorship gap report show that more than half (58%) of lawyers using AI tools say they are producing legal work faster, rising to 65% among those using paid legal AI platforms. The research also shows that junior lawyers are increasingly using AI for tasks such as legal research, first drafts, and document review, activities that have traditionally played a central role in early legal training. Taken together, the findings raise questions about how legal judgment is developed as these tasks are completed more quickly or with greater AI assistance.

At the same time, the research identifies clear learning gaps. The biggest skills gap among junior lawyers is deep legal reasoning and argumentation, cited by 72% of respondents. Verification and source-checking skills are also a concern, flagged by 69%, pointing to ongoing challenges around how judgment and critical thinking are built.

When asked what would help junior lawyers build strong legal reasoning and judgment skills while using AI, nearly two-thirds (65%) of respondents selected positioning AI as a “thinking partner”, rather than a shortcut or replacement for legal expertise. An additional half (52%) said verification exercises that require juniors to check AI outputs against authoritative sources would help.

The research also highlights differences in how success is measured across the profession. Among law firm leaders, revenue growth is the most important performance metric (55%), followed by positive client feedback (49%) and billable hours (38%). Associates place greater emphasis on billable hours and client feedback (both 54%), with revenue growth close behind (48%). These differences suggest that performance measures may influence how AI is prioritised and used in practice.

Commenting on the findings, Dylan Brown, Editor of The mentorship gap report at LexisNexis, said: “The data shows a clear productivity upside from AI, but it also highlights a tension around how legal judgment is developed. As routine tasks change, firms need to be deliberate about how junior lawyers build the confidence and critical thinking that have traditionally come from experience.”

What Is a Legal AI Workflow and How Does It Deliver Value?

2026-01-30T18:00:00Z

Legal professionals are under constant pressure to deliver high-quality legal work quickly, consistently, and with confidence. Whether managing heavy caseloads, complex matters, or tight timelines, the challenge is not just doing legal work faster. It is delivering work that can be trusted, every time.

On January 21, LexisNexis announced the global launch of Protégé AI workflows for legal professionals, workflows purpose-built for legal work, backed by LexisNexis citable authority.

To understand the value of a workflow, it’s helpful to start with: What is a workflow?

What Is a Legal AI Workflow?

A legal workflow is an AI-guided, step-by-step process that helps legal professionals complete complex legal work from start to finish. A workflow enables:

Higher-quality legal work, with built-in guidance and validation that support accuracy and consistency

Greater efficiency, by reducing rework and helping professionals move to final work product faster

Confidence in results, knowing cited law is validated and legal standards are applied consistently

Scalability, so trusted legal processes can be used across matters, teams, and jurisdictions

Rather than using AI for isolated prompts or one-off tasks, a workflow brings the entire sequence of legal work into a single, repeatable process, from research and analysis through drafting, review, and citation validation.

Legal AI workflows help legal teams move beyond single AI prompting by turning best practices into repeatable, reliable, and scalable processes they can trust. As a result, legal professionals can consistently deliver high-quality outcomes.

What Do Legal Workflows Look Like in Practice?

Protégé brings together private, secure, authoritative legal AI workflows, built for rigorous legal standards in a complete, integrated workspace. For example:

In litigation, Protégé workflows can help legal professionals:

Analyze pleadings against governing law to draft motions to dismiss

Prepare for depositions by synthesizing documents, facts, and issues

Automatically Shepardize cited authority to confirm the law is still valid

In transactional work, Protégé workflows can:

Guide contract or clause drafting using firm or company templates

Review agreements to identify diligence risks or high-risk provisions

Summarize redlined changes so lawyers quickly see what changed and why it matters

For general work, Protégé workflows can:

Draft a client alert

Extract timelines from documents

Summarize interviews or testimony

Organize research and next steps

These workflows don’t replace legal judgment. Workflows make high-quality legal work easier to deliver, consistently and at scale.

What Makes Protégé Workflows Different?

Protégé workflows are designed specifically to support high-quality legal outcomes with confidence:

Authoritative data sources, including LexisNexis trusted legal content and customer-provided data

Designed for rigorous legal standards by product, data science, and engineering teams working alongside legal professionals

Built-in validation, powered by Shepard’s Citations

Enterprise-grade privacy and security in an encrypted environment

A complete integrated legal AI workspace, supporting both authoritative legal work and exploratory tasks

Customer-driven innovation, informed by how legal professionals actually work

Anchored in trust, from data sourcing through final output

A single prompt produces an output. Protégé workflows deliver trusted, repeatable, and scalable results.

Lex Machina 2026 Trade Secret Litigation Report: Federal Trade Secret Filings Hit an All-Time High in 2025

2026-01-29T13:34:00Z

Settlement remains most common resolution, but substantially lags rates in other civil litigation categories

San Jose, CA — January 29, 2026 — Lex Machina®, the LexisNexis® Legal Analytics® platform, today announced the release of its 2026 Trade Secret Litigation Report, delivering a comprehensive analysis of trade secret litigation in US federal courts since 2016. With this report, legal professionals have actionable, data-driven insights to better assess risk, strategy, and outcomes in trade secret litigation.

Key findings from the report include:

Record federal trade secret cases: Trade secret filings reached their highest level in the past decade. In 2025, filings reached over 1,500 cases, the highest total ever recorded. The Central District of California was the most active venue for trade secret litigation in 2025, with 100 newly filed lawsuits. This jump in filings signals a competitive landscape in which early decisions around case assessment and venue selection can potentially shape outcomes before a case gains momentum.

Not all DTSA: Although causes of action asserted under the federal Defend Trade Secrets Act (“DTSA”) continue to appear in more than 80 percent of new trade-secret lawsuits in federal courts each year, there are signs of renewed reliance on trade-secret claims asserted under state law. In each of the last two years, the frequency of state-law-only trade-secret claims increased in federal courts. This may be attributable in part to significant legal developments in 2023 and 2024. The revitalized use of state-law trade secret claims makes it important for practitioners to understand how evolving legal standards from multiple jurisdictions affect liability risk.

Lower settlement rates than other practice areas: Settlement remains the most common resolution for trade secret cases, with about 65 percent of district court cases resolving through likely settlement between 2023 and 2025. However, this rate is substantially lower than settlement rates observed in many other categories of federal civil litigation. Practitioners can incorporate analytical insights from Lex Machina to pressure-test pretrial strategies in trade secret cases that tend to have longer timelines and lower settlement rates.

“The Lex Machina 2026 Trade Secret Litigation Report provides a comprehensive analysis of federal trade secret litigation at a critical inflection point, with filings reaching an all-time high and emerging shifts toward state law claims,” said Emily Pavuluri, Assistant Director of Faculty Services and Lecturer in Law at Vanderbilt Law School. “This report offers valuable, data-driven insights into case timing, settlement patterns, and damage trends, helping counsel develop more effective litigation strategies for their clients.”

“The Trade Secret Litigation Report highlights just how high-stakes and complex these cases have become,” said Eric Wright, senior vice president of Lex Machina at LexisNexis. “From 2023 to 2025, cases that reached trial took a median of 1,124 days, while juries awarded more than $716 million in actual damages and $510 million in punitive damages. These findings give practitioners concrete benchmarks for assessing risk, timing, and potential exposure in trade secret disputes.”

The Lex Machina Legal Analytics platform equips litigation professionals to win more cases and generate business. From precise timing metrics that inform legal budgeting to trend data on top law firms and leading judges, Lex Machina uniquely supplements traditional legal research and experience with customized, data-backed insights. These insights help lawyers identify and pursue new matters, navigate motion and trial strategies, and negotiate smarter settlements, ultimately giving firms a competitive edge in litigation.

AI interactions are grounded in authoritative LexisNexis content, anticipate next steps, and offer a seamless ability to use internal documents.

(Please visit the site to view this video)

Protégé workflows simplify complex legal work by automating tasks and delivering consistent, high-quality results across teams, freeing legal professionals to focus on strategic work. Through step-by-step guidance, Protégé leads users through workflows that combine prompts, drafting, review, and citation checking into scalable, repeatable legal processes. The Protégé integrated AI platform brings together the best of emerging AI workflow experiences within a private, secure, purpose-built legal workspace unique to LexisNexis.

“We’re focused on delivering easy, powerful workflow capabilities for legal customers wherever they work, and whether they prefer to start by using their own internal documents or trusted LexisNexis content,” said Sean Fitzpatrick, CEO, LexisNexis North America, UK & Ireland. “Customers have asked us for legal workflow solutions they can trust that naturally integrate with their existing processes, and we’re delivering that with Protégé workflows.”

Protégé has multiple flexible workflow capabilities, backed by Shepard’s^® Citations:

Pre-Built, Configurable Workflows – A ready-to-run library of hundreds of automated workflows. Workflows can be launched as-is or tailored with firm-specific guidance. These include:
- Litigation Workflows – Workflows designed to support disputes, motions practice, discovery, and case strategy. Examples include draft a motion to dismiss, draft full discovery and deposition documents, identify top cases by fact pattern or legal concept, extract facts, and compare similar arguments or laws across jurisdictions.
- Transactional Workflows – Workflows focused on contracts, deal execution, and risk assessment. Examples include draft a transactional document or clause, generate first-pass agreements from term sheets or templates, redline agreements against internal standards or playbooks, analyze key provisions and identify high-risk clauses, review contracts for diligence risks, and extract key obligations and liabilities.
- Broader Legal AI Workflows – Designed for daily legal tasks in a private, secure workspace, powered by the latest AI models from Anthropic and OpenAI and, in the U.S., integrated with LexisNexis primary law and Shepard’s® Citations. Examples include draft a client alert, extract a timeline of key events, summarize an interview, and transcribe audio to text.

Custom Workflow Builder – A no-code builder that lets legal professionals consistently deliver high-quality, complex work at scale. Users can choose their preferred AI model and design custom, multi-step workflows for virtually any legal task. Workflows can be tested prior to publishing, saved to a personal Workflow Library, and shared across teams, turning organizational knowledge and legal best practices into repeatable systems.

Advanced Practice-Area Workflows (Coming Soon) – Domain-specific workflows for high-value legal matters, including Mergers & Acquisitions, Real Estate, Labor & Employment, Civil Litigation, and more. These workflows deliver a new level of AI personalization, deploying specialized agents that understand matter types, risk patterns, and drafting conventions. For example, in Civil Litigation, Protégé delivers a multistep, agent-orchestrated workflow that analyzes facts, extracts timelines, identifies party positioning, surfaces issues, and drafts a strategic case-assessment memo in one end-to-end, unified workflow. In property transactions, Protégé can review purchase agreements and due diligence documents, automatically organize and categorize materials, flag potential issues, summarize deal impacts with suggested resolutions, enabling attorneys to research and take next steps within a single, integrated workflow.

Expanded Agentic & Persona Workflows (Coming Soon) – AI-powered workflows where Protégé functions as a skilled legal teammate, capable of planning, managing, and executing complex workflows. Powered by autonomous agents and grounded in LexisNexis proprietary data, customers’ own knowledge, and user context, these agentic workflows can reason, learn, and evolve over time. For legal professionals, this means more intelligent support and the ability to delegate entire workflows while retaining full oversight. Examples include the Judicial Agentic Workflow that drafts bench memos and full opinions based on a judge’s ruling and unique voice, and AI Guided Research for complex legal research.

Following the Commercial Preview Program, a customer-first approach to innovation that taps into the expertise and feedback of leading law firms, corporate legal departments, and other legal professionals, Protégé workflows will roll out broadly in 2026. Pre-built and configurable workflows and Workflow Builder will launch across the U.S., Canada, U.K., Europe and Asia Pacific markets and quickly expand with advanced practice-area and additional agentic workflows throughout the year.

LexisNexis Expands Protégé™ AI Assistant to CourtLink® for Smarter, Faster Docket Intelligence

2026-01-20T13:00:00Z

Protégé in CourtLink introduces three distinct AI-powered capabilities that redefine how legal professionals engage with the industry’s largest collection of court data.

New Natural Language Docket Search allows users to use plain-language workflow queries such as “Show me recent product liability cases where [name] is defendant” instead of navigating Boolean syntax or multiple filters.

On-Demand Document Summarization lets users instantly generate concise AI-powered summaries of any document in a docket, enabling users to quickly determine relevance of new filings without reading dozens of pages.

In short: Protégé™ saves time, secures answers, and integrates with the tools legal professionals already use. Unlike general-purpose AI, Protégé is designed from the ground up for the legal and regulated world: it combines the editorial reliability of the LexisNexis corpus, the security of a private environment, and seamless integration with existing practice tools.

A responsible, secure approach to artificial intelligence

Developed responsibly with human oversight, Protégé’s AI capabilities enable it to perform multi-step tasks, review its own results, and suggest improvements, freeing legal professionals to focus on strategic work. LexisNexis seamlessly incorporates each wave of AI innovation: research and analytics AI, which identifies relevant results and delivers insights; and generative AI, which produces content based on user prompts, grounded in LexisNexis’s proprietary, reliable data. The first building blocks of agentic AI—AI capable of carrying out multiple tasks autonomously under human supervision—are already part of the Protégé™ roadmap.

Innovation serving performance and security

With Protégé, LexisNexis strengthens its role as a strategic partner to legal and accounting professionals. The AI assistant enables them to combine speed, reliability, and compliance—drawing on LexisNexis’s recognized editorial expertise and exclusive content. And this is only the beginning, with a continuous stream of new features set to enhance the experience and use cases in the months ahead: control Protégé™ by voice, create a personal digital vault, and ask non-legal questions.

“Protégé™ reflects our vision of trustworthy, expert, and secure AI—capable of supporting our clients’ decisions and multiplying their added value. It is a key milestone in the digital transformation of the legal sector. Every legal professional should now be able to rely on a personalized AI assistant, and we are delighted to offer it in France through our fully integrated AI technology ecosystem,” says Éric Bonnet-Maes, CEO, LexisNexis France, and EO of LexisNexis CEMEA.
