Thomson Reuters is building one of the most comprehensive AI ecosystems in the legal industry, combining its CoCounsel legal AI assistant, Westlaw Precision AI research tools, and the proprietary Thomson LLM — a legal-specific large language model scheduled for launch in summer 2026 — into an integrated platform for legal professionals.
CoCounsel Legal, launched in August 2025, combines legal research with agentic guided workflows and Deep Research capabilities that develop and execute multi-step research strategies with full citations. The integration with Westlaw's primary law corpus gives CoCounsel research depth that standalone AI platforms without legal database access cannot match.
The Thomson LLM, announced in March 2026, represents Thomson Reuters' commitment to developing AI models specifically trained on legal, tax, and compliance content. The proprietary model is designed to deliver superior accuracy on legal tasks compared to general-purpose LLMs, leveraging Thomson Reuters' decades of legal content development.
Key capabilities include CoCounsel legal research and drafting, Westlaw Precision case law research with KeyCite validation, guided workflow automation, Deep Research reports, and integration across Thomson Reuters' legal, tax, and compliance products. Thomson Reuters serves law firms, corporate legal departments, and government agencies globally.
