Norton Rose Fulbright Launches Innovative Subsidiary, LX Studio
In a bid to adapt to the evolving business and practice of law, global law firm Norton Rose Fulbright has launched LX Studio, a US subsidiary focused on innovation and digitally-driven service strategies. The new entity aims to provide innovative solutions for clients to achieve their legal and business objectives efficiently[1].
Jeff Cody, the US Managing Partner of Norton Rose Fulbright, stated that LX Studio's goal is to offer more than just legal advice, but to deliver innovative solutions that cater to the needs of clients[1]. Gina Shishima, the Chief Strategy and Operations Partner, emphasizes that LX Studio allows for the capitalization of tremendous resources and an innovative focus[1].
LX Studio will house some of Norton Rose Fulbright's existing technology products, including the award-winning privacy compliance tool suite, NT Analyzer[1]. The services offered by LX Studio are expected to include legal operations solutions for corporate legal departments.
Gina Shishima states that LX Studio will bring new opportunities for offering new and different services to support clients[1]. It is designed to support clients with new and different services, tailored to individual client needs[1]. LX Studio will collaborate with legal technology companies, alternative legal services providers, and may partner with or invest in novel technologies[1].
Christy Bentz, the Chief Client Value & Innovation Officer of Norton Rose Fulbright, expresses the desire to meet clients where they are. LX Studio provides a platform for more intentional collaboration with clients on the method of legal service delivery[1]. LX Studio will develop products and services for use by Norton Rose Fulbright's lawyers and clients[1].
LX Studio will be part of Norton Rose Fulbright's global innovation and service delivery program, NRF Transform[1]. While specific details of LX Studio’s services are limited, it is described as offering innovative solutions that complement the firm's core legal expertise, likely involving technology-driven approaches, automation, and new service models designed to meet evolving client needs across various sectors and jurisdictions[1].
However, a recent lawsuit involving a defunct subsidiary of Norton Rose Fulbright named LX Studio LLC indicates some challenges in this innovation space but does not provide details on the specific services and innovations offered[3][4]. Despite this, Norton Rose Fulbright remains committed to delivering innovative legal services that cater to the evolving needs of their clients.
