Driven by our commitment to our customers, each month, Thomson Reuters is delivering enhancements to CoCounsel Legal and additional solutions, making them more intuitive, customizable, and effortless to use. In this September edition, we spotlight the latest updates, featuring major upgrades and subtle refinements, designed to boost efficiency and support the delivery of exceptional, high-quality work.
Redesigned drafting capabilities unify CoCounsel tools, content, expertise, and workflows
Informed by customer feedback, we’ve reimagined the legal drafting experience – making it more intuitive, intelligent, and seamlessly integrated. The drafting capabilities in CoCounsel fuse users’ institutional knowledge with trusted Thomson Reuters content and AI-powered technology to expedite the legal drafting process. The redesigned homepage puts everything users need right at their fingertips – CoCounsel Chat, skills, and powerful litigation and document analysis tools – all in one clean, intuitive space. Eliminating the need to jump between tabs or hunt for resources, it’s now an even smoother, faster experience that lets users stay focused, work smarter, and get more done with less friction.
Live Draft brings the ability to summarize and modify a document using natural language in Word. Live Draft also delivers contextual awareness of the document and understanding of the content and structure, so every suggestion and edit is tailored to the content. This helps to further reduce time spent producing a final draft, by delivering more accurate, relevant suggested changes.
Append Authorities enables users to combine all cited documents into a single file suitable for court use, reducing the risk of errors and increasing efficiency. Every cited document is linked for verification purposes, and a hyperlinked table of contents is included.
Region settings customizes CoCounsel tools for global legal professionals
The new region settings capability enables users to select their geographic preference from U.S., UK, Australia or Canada. Based on the selected region, region settings will automatically adjust tools and prompts in the CoCounsel Library making the work product more relevant. Users can now automatically tailor their documents using specific regional requirements, including for the UK and Australia, British English spelling variations, legal terminology, grammar, and content formats. Similarly, this will be coming soon for Canadian English. Additionally, CoCounsel Library is now available in the UK, Canada and Australia.
HighQ integrates CoCounsel AI for intuitive, conversational client data access
With CoCounsel’s Search a Database skill embedded within HighQ, this customer-driven development allows clients the ability to pose queries regarding their data and receive summarized, highly relevant answers. Sourced from pre-approved content within their site, clients can quickly review summaries, generate reports, and make informed decisions without waiting for manual responses.
Legal Tracker adds AI-powered capabilities
Legal Tracker’s new AI features help users manage legal spend more efficiently. The AI-powered PDF-to-LEDES converter and invoice review speed up invoice evaluation and ensure accurate billing. An AI assistant also streamlines reporting and reduces manual data handling.
