Lexplorer in Microsoft 365 Copilot

Requirements

A Microsoft 365 Copilot license.
A Lexplorer account with an active Lexplorer subscription or trial. An ILE-only subscription is not sufficient. Sign up
Your organization's IT has deployed the plugin.

Deployment by your IT

The Microsoft 365 administrator searches for «Lexplorer Swiss Legal Research» in the Microsoft 365 admin center under Agents › Tools, reviews the details and deploys the plugin to all users or to selected groups. The plugin is also listed in the Microsoft Marketplace.

The plugin contains an agent for Copilot Chat, a skill that defines the research method and two connections to Lexplorer: Lexplorer Law for legislation and case law, Lexplorer Tax for tax law and administrative practice. All tools are read-only.

Get started

Open Copilot Chat, select «Lexplorer Swiss Legal Research» under Agents and ask your question, for example: «What is the compensation for abusive dismissal under Art. 336a of the Swiss Code of Obligations? Cite leading decisions.»
On first use, Copilot shows a sign-in card for Lexplorer Law and, for tax questions, a second one for Lexplorer Tax. Sign in with your Lexplorer account in both. The sign-in persists.
In Word, open Copilot, type «@», select «Lexplorer Swiss Legal Research» under Plugins and skills and then «Use all».
Each answer lists its sources with links to the original text. Check important statements there.

Help

The sign-in is rejected.

For Copilot, your account needs an active Lexplorer subscription or a running trial. You can check your subscription in the settings of app.lexplorer.ch.

I cannot find the agent.

The plugin must be deployed in your organization, and you need a Microsoft 365 Copilot license. Please contact your IT.
