TORONTO, October 14, 2025 – Thomson Reuters (Nasdaq/TSX: TRI), a global content and technology company, today announced a new wave of AI-powered innovations that extend the momentum of CoCounsel Legal. The latest enhancements are headlined by the beta launch of Deep Research on Practical Law expanding the organization’s agentic capabilities and deeper integration with trusted Thomson Reuters content.
In addition, deep product integration between CoCounsel and HighQ has launched, and regional expansion of CoCounsel in French, German and Japanese will be available to customers in October.
Deep Research on Practical Law
Deep Research on Practical Law, currently in beta with select customers, is a significant advancement toward the comprehensive, trusted, and seamless CoCounsel Legal research solution of the future. Deep Research on Practical Law plans the research steps, retrieves the most relevant guidance and templates from Practical Law, and presents clear, supported conclusions. It adapts as follow-up questions are asked, enabling deeper, more nuanced analysis.
This streamlined approach saves time, reduces friction, and builds confidence in the resulting work product. As the leading resource for legal know-how content, Deep Research in Practical Law complements Westlaw’s primary-law expertise and supports the evolving needs of legal professionals. Deep Research on Practical Law will be available in the U.S. in the first half of 2026. CoCounsel Deep Research on both Westlaw and Practical Law will be available in the UK in the same timeframe.
“In this dynamic legal environment, continuous innovation is a necessity, and Thomson Reuters is investing more than $200 million a year organically in AI to develop cutting-edge solutions for our customers,” said Raghu Ramanathan, president, Legal Professionals, Thomson Reuters. “Innovative advancements like Deep Research in Practical Law and key CoCounsel integrations empower legal professionals with professional-grade AI to not only navigate this transformative era, but to thrive in it.”
