CoCounsel Legal

Thomson Reuters CoCounsel Legal is an AI-based tool designed to support legal professionals with tasks such as research, document review, and drafting. It combines generative and agentic AI with legal content from Westlaw and Practical Law to carry out multi-step legal tasks in a single workflow.

Notable aspects of CoCounsel Legal include: 

CoCounsel, your AI legal assistant: Accessible through chat, CoCounsel manages tasks across platforms like Microsoft Word and document management systems, linking information and identifying relevant insights. 

Deep Research in Westlaw: CoCounsel uses agentic technology to perform legal research by planning and executing multi-step searches. It explains its reasoning and sources, and delivers structured reports based on Westlaw content.

Agentic workflows: Designed by Practical Law editors, agentic workflows suggest and then carry out recommended steps for a project at your request. Instead of requiring turn-by-turn prompting, agentic workflows tie your work together across research, drafting, and document analysis. 

Library: CoCounsel Legal’s Library is a collection of skills, workflows, and AI prompts for a broad range of legal tasks, created and tested by Thomson Reuters experts. Expert-written prompts remove the guesswork and provide faster legal research, document analysis, and drafting results. 

Integrations: The tool integrates with commonly used platforms including Microsoft Word, Teams, Outlook, and various document management systems.

Partnership: Thomson Reuters also provides customer support to help legal teams use the tool effectively and adapt to changes in the legal industry.
