Strategic Initiatives
Growth programs, investments, and their expected impact
Thomson Reuters is scaling a fully agentic legal-AI environment that combines Westlaw and Practical Law content with research, drafting, verification, document analysis, and matter-centric workflows. New capabilities include Westlaw Brief Builder, Workspaces, Drafting, Tabular Analysis, and Deep Research Verify.
Expected impact: The initiative is intended to move CoCounsel from isolated AI assistance toward end-to-end legal-work execution, supporting enterprise adoption and differentiated, content-grounded workflows.
Thomson Reuters developed and launched Thomson, an internally controlled, domain-specialized large language model trained using proprietary professional content and subject-matter expertise. Its first deployment is in Tabular Analysis within CoCounsel Legal.
Expected impact: Full model ownership is intended to improve control, specialization, privacy options, and inference economics while reducing reliance on third-party models for selected professional workflows.
