Everlaw and Thomson Reuters CoCounsel Legal Launch New Partnership
Forthcoming integration helps legal teams connect the facts of a matter with the law—all within the AI tools where they choose to work.
Practicing law today often requires juggling a host of technology: one system for handling evidence and discovery, another for researching case law, and another for drafting the work product that ultimately brings questions of fact and questions of law together.
AI is beginning to change that. Legal AI platforms can increasingly help lawyers synthesize information and orchestrate work across systems that previously operated separately. But to do that well, those platforms need access to the right information: evidence, trusted legal knowledge, case context, and the governance required for legal work.
Everlaw’s new integration with Thomson Reuters CoCounsel Legal helps bring these pieces together. With this integration, users of Everlaw and CoCounsel Legal will be able to access Everlaw matters and data directly in CoCounsel, giving legal professionals new ways to bring the evidence in their matters together with the authoritative legal content and deep domain expertise from Westlaw and Practical Law they rely on to advise clients, develop strategy, and produce legal work.
Maintain Command of the Facts and the Law with New Everlaw + CoCounsel Integration
This integration brings together CoCounsel Legal’s deep foundation of legal knowledge—including authoritative Westlaw primary law and trusted Practical Law guidance—with Everlaw’s ability to process, handle, search, and analyze evidence at scale.
The result is a more streamlined way to practice law: attorneys can use CoCounsel Legal to engage with both legal authorities and the evidence underlying their matters, while Everlaw continues to serve as the governed system of record for that evidence.
CoCounsel Legal brings together AI capabilities specifically designed for legal professionals with the trusted content Thomson Reuters has built over generations.
That legal knowledge foundation becomes even more powerful when it can work directly with the facts that make each matter unique.
Everlaw gives legal teams the infrastructure to turn enormous, complex collections of evidence into actionable insight. By integrating with CoCounsel Legal, those capabilities can extend beyond Everlaw itself.
Litigators can rely on Everlaw’s advanced capabilities within CoCounsel, whether beginning a matter or preparing for trial.
From Legal Research to Matter Evidence—and Back Again
Connecting Everlaw and CoCounsel Legal creates new opportunities to bring two traditionally separate parts of legal work together.
A lawyer working in CoCounsel could begin with a question about the law, use CoCounsel’s legal knowledge foundation to understand the relevant authorities and practical considerations, and then call on Everlaw to investigate how those questions apply to the evidence in a specific matter.
Alternatively, attorneys might use CoCounsel to interrogate an Everlaw matter, identify relevant collections or document sets, surface evidence related to a particular issue, and use those findings to inform further legal analysis and drafting.
Users can simply describe what they want in a straightforward prompt, which will then be translated into Everlaw workflows, allowing teams to access Everlaw’s capabilities wherever their legal work is being done.
Work Wherever You Prefer, with Evidence You Can Trust
As legal AI continues to evolve, the most powerful systems will not work in isolation. They will bring together specialized capabilities, authoritative knowledge, and trusted evidence to help lawyers move more seamlessly from questions of law and questions of fact to strategy and action.
With the Everlaw integration for Thomson Reuters CoCounsel Legal, that future is closer than ever before.
