LexisNexis has launched a software platform that helps lawyers draft legal documents entirely within Microsoft Office products.

The company said Lexis Create was born out of the understanding that legal professionals get frustrated spending time switching between windows, applications and add-ins when drafting legal documents, constantly having to refocus on the task in hand. Instead, Lexis Create provides in one place all the legal tools, calculators and LexisNexis content required for document drafting.

The product automatically validates the legal status of citations and recommends alternatives if needed, and will pick up missed definitions, recognised terms, skipped numbering and inconsistent identifiable information. Its in-built legal calculators assist with computations such as Gross to Net, VAT or Clear Days.

LexisNexis director of solutions, Danielle McCormick said: ‘We have deliberately designed Lexis Create to be unobtrusive yet ever-present in a lawyer’s workspace.’

The product is suitable for law firms and in-house teams of all sizes. More information is available at www.lexisnexis.co.uk/products/lexis-create.html.
