Qanooni AI, the Microsoft 365 embedded legal intelligence platform transforming how lawyers draft, review and research, has announced a strategic partnership with Nexian, one of the UK’s leading IT and managed service providers for professional services firms.
The partnership combines Qanooni’s legal specific AI, which lives natively inside Microsoft Word and Outlook, with Nexian’s deep expertise in cloud, security and digital transformation. Together, the two companies will deliver a complete, secure and scalable AI solution tailored specifically for law firms, helping them accelerate AI powered transformation without disrupting the tools and systems they already use.
Nexian currently works with law firms to identify practical use cases for AI, helping them understand where the technology can deliver the greatest efficiency and impact. Through this collaboration, Nexian will pair that advisory role with hands on implementation of Qanooni AI, giving firms a trusted framework to deploy AI safely and effectively across their Microsoft 365, document management and practice management environments.
The partnership also builds on Qanooni’s recent strategic work with leading practice management providers such as Actionstep, demonstrating how tightly integrated AI and firm systems can transform workflows. Working with Nexian, that approach can be applied across the full range of platforms used by UK law firms, so firms on different systems can benefit from the same AI ready ecosystem.
Rob Lawson, Head of Sales & Partnerships at Qanooni AI, commented:
“Law firms don’t just need AI – they need trusted partners who understand how to make it work in practice. Nexian’s experience modernising legal IT environments makes them the perfect complement to Qanooni’s embedded AI platform. Together, we’ll help firms harness AI directly inside Word, Outlook and Actionstep – securely, compliantly and in a way that genuinely improves the way lawyers work.”
John Ellis, Client Services Director at Nexian, added:
“We’re seeing unprecedented interest from legal teams looking to adopt AI, but many don’t know where to start. Partnering with Qanooni AI gives our clients the confidence to innovate safely – combining Nexian’s proven technology expertise with a legal-specific AI solution that integrates seamlessly into their existing Microsoft and Actionstep ecosystem. Together, it’s a powerful proposition for the modern legal workplace.”
Early adopters will benefit from guided deployment, enhanced data governance and security assurance, and measurable productivity improvements across drafting, research and matter workflows.
