Summary

Thomson Reuters launched the next generation of CoCounsel Legal, an AI-powered product integrating legal research, drafting, and workflows with Westlaw and Practical Law, including the Westlaw Brief Builder for automated drafting while maintaining lawyer control.

Thomson Reuters says the next generation of CoCounsel Legal is now generally available. It brings legal research, drafting, verification, and matter workflows into one product built on Westlaw and Practical Law. The new Westlaw Brief Builder moves from research and issue analysis to a first draft while checking the supporting authority. Thomson Reuters also added workspaces, Word drafting, and tabular review for up to 10,000 documents and 100 questions. The agent can build the draft. The lawyer still controls the strategy and the final decision.
