AI transforms legal work in Japan and Canada

Pascal Rozier, president of LexisNexis Japan, says artificial intelligence is a tool that supports, not replaces, human judgment in the legal field. The company provides AI‑driven services that deliver reliable legal data, emphasizing privacy, transparency and traceability of sources to protect the rule of law.

In Canada, law firms and corporate legal departments are increasingly adopting AI‑powered tools for research, contract review, document analysis and client communication. The technology speeds up routine tasks, improves responsiveness and allows lawyers to focus on strategic work, while raising new ethical and privacy questions. Industry groups such as the Canadian Bar Association and software providers like Clio report productivity gains but stress that professional judgment remains essential.
