LexisNexis Legal and Professional is the legal information division of the RELX group, descended from the pioneering Lexis full-text legal search service launched in 1973. It sells case law and statutory research, practical guidance, drafting and analytics tools to law firms, corporate legal departments, courts and government bodies, and it has embedded generative assistants across those products under the Lexis+ AI name. Headquartered in New York with major operations in Ohio and North Carolina, it competes principally with Thomson Reuters and holds one of the two large English-language legal content archives.
