LexisNexis Launches Skills in Lexis+® with Protégé™ in Hong Kong, Advancing the Legal AI Solution Built on the Authority Legal Work Demands

HONG KONG, Aug. 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- LexisNexis^® Legal & Professional today announced the launch of skills in Lexis+^® with Protégé™ in Hong Kong, designed to help law firms, corporate legal departments and legal professionals complete complex legal work faster, with greater accuracy, consistency, confidence and control.

The launch of Lexis+^® with Protégé™ in Hong Kong adds guided skills for complex legal work, grounded in LexisNexis legal content, user-uploaded files, CaseBase Hong Kong Citation Service and web sources.

The legal AI market in Hong Kong is moving quickly. New solutions can generate text, summarise documents and automate isolated tasks. But legal work requires something more demanding: current, authoritative legal content; verification tools; a connection to user-uploaded files; governance for confidentiality and privilege; and workflows that reflect how lawyers practise.

That distinction matters. AI without deep legal authority and built-in verification may accelerate work, but it can also heighten risk from invented citations and unsupported conclusions to inconsistent drafting, uncontrolled matter data and weak auditability. Lexis+^® with Protégé™ is built to address that reality, combining authoritative LexisNexis legal content, CaseBase Hong Kong Citation Service, user-uploaded files and web sources in one integrated platform so results are grounded, verified and traceable across the full arc of legal work.

At the center of the Hong Kong launch are Skills in Lexis+^® with Protégé™, a guided workflow capability that changes how lawyers use AI to complete complex tasks. Users can select a skill directly from the dropdown menu, after which Protégé presents a structured work plan rather than a single response, giving users visibility and control as it executes tasks and produces review-ready legal work product. The initial skills portfolio supports repeatable tasks across regulatory and compliance, corporate and commercial, litigation, pro bono, legal education and training, and general legal tasks. This allows legal teams to reuse proven workflows, apply firm and department standards consistently, and benefit from broader market innovation while keeping work grounded in authoritative LexisNexis content, user-uploaded files and trusted workflow safeguards. Lexis+^® with Protégé™ incorporates skills from LexisNexis and Anthropic, with additional skills and capabilities in development.

Skills in Lexis+^® with Protégé™ help lawyers and legal teams create ready-to-use legal work outputs through guided, task-specific workflows. Current skills support high-value drafting, review and assessment tasks such as Draft Written Resolutions, Data Processing Agreement (DPA) Review, Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) Generation and Demand Letter Intake & Assessment. Working from LexisNexis content, uploaded templates, selected files and matter materials, these skills help users produce context-aware drafts and responses in Microsoft Word for review, refinement and use in their existing process.

The Hong Kong launch comes as legal professionals are moving from experimentation to legal-grade execution. In a recent LexisNexis APAC AI Sentiment Survey* of Hong Kong legal professionals, AI adoption reached 96.5%, while 71.5% said they would use AI more if it came as guided workflows rather than open chat prompts. At the same time, accuracy and hallucination risk was the top concern, cited by 54.4% of respondents. The findings underscore why legal AI needs trusted sources, structured workflows and transparent verification.

Protégé Vault gives legal professionals a secure intelligence layer for document-led matters. Teams can securely upload, store and analyse collections of matter materials in one workspace, preserving context across sessions for drafting, review and analysis. Outputs link back to source material where available so legal teams can verify findings and defend the work product that follows.

Lexis+^® with Protégé™ also brings leading AI models into a secure LexisNexis workspace. Legal AI responses can be grounded in authoritative LexisNexis legal content, Practical Guidance, CaseBase Hong Kong Citation Service and user-uploaded files, while General AI can incorporate real-time web sources when broader context is required. This gives Hong Kong customers model flexibility and source control without forcing work into disconnected tools.

For lawyers, the result is practical and immediate: faster research and drafting cycles, stronger first drafts, more consistent application of firm and client standards, reduced citation and review risk, better handling of matter files, and more secure collaboration between legal teams and clients. In the Hong Kong survey, 75.9% of respondents agreed AI can save time on lower-value work, 65.7% agreed it can help them operate their firm, practice or department more efficiently, and 62.3% agreed it can give their business a competitive advantage. Instead of forcing legal professionals to choose between speed and trust, Lexis+^® with Protégé™ brings both into a single legal AI platform.

"Legal AI is moving from experimentation to trusted execution. For Hong Kong legal professionals, the next stage is not just faster answers, but connected workflows grounded in authoritative content, secure infrastructure and professional judgment. Lexis+^® with Protégé™ is built for that future, helping teams move from legal questions and documents to review-ready work product in one trusted environment," said Michael Sit, Managing Director, Greater China, LexisNexis Legal & Professional.

Lexis+^® with Protégé™ Skills is now available in Hong Kong, with additional skills and capabilities planned over time. To learn more about Lexis+^® with Protégé™: www.lexisnexis.com/en-hk/products-and-services/online-solution/lexis-plus-protege.

LexisNexis Launches Skills in Lexis+® with Protégé™ in Hong Kong, Advancing the Legal AI Solution Built on the Authority Legal Work Demands

Highlighting the breadth of what WALL-B can enable and the depth of performance it can sustain in the physical world.

BEIJING, Aug. 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- X Square Robot, a Shenzhen-based embodied AI company, concluded its participation at the 2026 World Robot Conference (WRC) in Beijing, putting its "one model, many applications" approach to practice across multiple robotic platforms and real-world tasks. Powered by WALL-B, the company brought this approach into a range of physical environments, while extending its first logistics livestream on Aug 12 into a five-hour challenge during WRC.

At the conference, X Square showcased its WALL-B technology across several robotic platforms. In a home environment, two wheeled humanoid robots responded to spoken commands. It performed tasks including organizing household items, retrieving and delivering objects, cleaning, watering plants and handling pet-related chores. Using coordinated two-arm manipulation and obstacle avoidance, the robot moved between rooms and carried out the requested tasks.

The exhibition demonstration formed part of X Square's broader effort to deploy robots in real homes. In March, the company partnered with Chinese local-services platform 58.com to launch a home-cleaning service, with robots working alongside professional cleaners during household visits. In May, X Square began placing robots with participating households for extended in-home service through its "X Family Member Program."

Elsewhere at the conference, a 22-degree-of-freedom, five-fingered dexterous hand completed a multi-stage fan-unboxing task powered by WALL-B. With its view partially obstructed by the box, the system opened the packaging, removed the fan from a confined space, placed it on a table, turned the fan on and visually verified that it was running. A separate dual-arm system responded to visitors' natural-language requests by selecting flowers of the specified color and arranging them in a vase. It adjusted its grip and positioning to handle flexible stems and deformable flowers, and replanned its movements when the flower basket or vase was moved during the task.

X Square extended its focus on real-world deployment into logistics. The WALL-B-powered system is already operating on a live parcel-sorting line and is designed to support continuous, round-the-clock operation. The WRC demonstration provided a public test of that capability. During the challenge, the WALL-B-powered system sorted 10,000 parcels in 5 hours, 14 minutes and 1 second, translating into an average throughput of 1,911 parcels an hour, or about 1.88 seconds per parcel.

During the challenge, the robots handled parcels that varied in size, shape, material and position. The system had to repeatedly identify, grasp, orient and sort the items, while correcting unsuccessful actions and responding to changes on the conveyor. Maintaining its throughput over thousands of parcels offered a measure of the consistency and endurance required in commercial logistics operations.

"Embodied AI requires a foundation model built specifically for the physical world, in parallel with the foundation models developed for the digital world. At X Square, our aim is to develop a common intelligence foundation that can operate across different robots, tasks and physical environments, while continuing to improve through real-world deployment," said Wang Qian, founder and CEO of X Square Robot.

Taken together, the demonstrations reflected X Square's broader view that embodied intelligence should not be tied to a single robot, task or environment. The company said it will continue integrating models and robotic hardware as it expands into additional home, logistics and industrial applications.
