Introducing LX Studio, the innovation-driven subsidiary debuting on our website
Global law firm Norton Rose Fulbright has announced the launch of LX Studio, an innovation-focused US subsidiary aimed at accelerating legal innovation through technology and digital transformation [1]. The new entity will be home to the firm's award-winning privacy compliance tool suite, NT Analyzer [1].
According to Jeff Cody, the US Managing Partner of Norton Rose Fulbright, LX Studio's focus is to provide innovative solutions for clients [1]. Gina Shishima, the Chief Strategy and Operations Partner, echoes this sentiment, stating that LX Studio allows for capitalizing on tremendous resources and innovative focus [1].
LX Studio's business will include legal operations solutions for corporate legal departments and will collaborate with legal technology companies and alternative legal services providers [1]. It may also partner with or invest in novel technologies and alternative legal services offerings [1].
Christy Bentz, the Chief Client Value & Innovation Officer, expresses a desire to meet clients where they are and build, codevelop, and partner with them on personalized service solutions [1]. LX Studio, she believes, offers a more personalized approach to legal service solutions [1].
The platform is intended to provide a more intentional collaboration with clients on the 'how' of legal service delivery [1]. LX Studio aims to identify, develop, and invest in the best technology to help clients solve their legal and business problems efficiently [1]. It will also develop products and services for use by Norton Rose Fulbright's lawyers and clients [1].
LX Studio is part of Norton Rose Fulbright's global innovation and service delivery program, NRF Transform [1]. The initiative aims to offer new and different services to support clients, bringing new opportunities to offer new and different services to support clients [1].
In line with this, LX Studio will help clients harness and protect their intangible assets (such as intellectual property) in alignment with their business goals [1]. It will provide strategic IP advice linked to collaborations, mergers and acquisitions, market expansion, and new technology platforms [1]. LX Studio will also mitigate legal and regulatory risks in evolving markets and technologies [1].
By implementing technology-driven solutions, LX Studio aims to increase the efficiency and impact of legal services [1]. The approach effectively expands the role of legal counsel into one of strategic business partnership and innovation enablement, beyond providing traditional reactive legal advice [1].
In summary, LX Studio focuses on combining legal expertise with technological innovation to support clients’ business growth and risk management, delivering enhanced value through proactive and strategic services rather than solely through conventional legal counsel [1]. LX Studio, as described by Christy Bentz, is positioned to further evolve legal service delivery expectations [1]. It is a platform for building, codeveloping, and partnering with clients on personalized service solutions [1], going beyond just legal advice.
