Thomson Reuters launches CoCounsel Legal UK for legal workflows

UK legal teams are moving from AI pilots to governed, practical use across daily workflows, with adoption expanding from faster research into generative drafting, document review and agentic tools that can plan and execute multi-step tasks. Thomson Reuters’ Future of Professionals 2025 report found that more than two-thirds of respondents (68%) support AI for non-legal work, while more than half (55%) support it for legal tasks.

CoCounsel Legal UK combines advanced AI capabilities with Practical Law guidance and Westlaw UK content for research, drafting and document analysis. Its Deep Research feature is designed to plan multi-step research routes, refine queries and produce structured answers grounded in trusted legal content, supporting advisory, compliance and litigation preparation across UK and EU contexts.

The platform also includes tabular analysis for high-volume review. Tabular analysis can rapidly review up to 10,000 documents with up to 100 questions in a flexible table format, with clickable footnotes for verification and support for multiple tables running simultaneously. A library of expert-tested prompts and skills supports tasks such as summarising complex documents, asking cited questions and comparing documents.
