Thomson Reuters Launches CoCounsel Knowledge Search – An AI-Powered Experience to Manage Content and Institutional Knowledge
- New capability in CoCounsel developed to enable search across document management systems, Thomson Reuters content, and third-party sources
- Enhanced partner integration delivers improved experience for legal professionals to access content that drives AI-powered workflows
Thomson Reuters, a global content and technology company, announced the launch of CoCounsel Knowledge Search, a powerful tool that revolutionizes how organizations search and navigate content repositories. Knowledge Search delivers a unified search experience using professional-grade AI allowing legal professionals to find and utilize content across various sources simultaneously.
Knowledge management systems and content repositories are fragmented and often lack basic integration capabilities, making it difficult for legal professionals to find and leverage internal data and content efficiently. Addressing the widespread challenge of scattered documents across multiple systems, CoCounsel Knowledge Search enables users to efficiently search, access, and manage content across their organization from multiple repositories, seamlessly.
Designed to streamline workflows, CoCounsel Knowledge Search can access content from HighQ, iManage, NetDocuments, SharePoint, OneDrive, Thomson Reuters content from Westlaw and Practical Law, and third-party sources. This comprehensive access empowers legal professionals to uncover precise answers and insights to deliver their best work product with ease and efficiency.
This is all done without compromising data security. CoCounsel Knowledge Search keeps the data within the customer’s domain – ensuring security and compliance protocols – while still delivering advanced AI-powered search and analysis capabilities.
“Customer centricity is a value Thomson Reuters lives and breathes, and our integrated solution directly answers the evolving needs of legal professionals,” said Rawia Ashraf, head of Product, CoCounsel Transactional and Corporates, Thomson Reuters. “With CoCounsel Knowledge Search, users can search where they are currently working in CoCounsel, alleviating the necessity to search their various document management systems, find and download documents, and then move them to the required portal. Knowledge Search looks across a user’s various repositories, finds the relevant documents, surfaces insights and answers, and connects to key applications to streamline the workflow.”
Expanding Customer Success Through Partnerships
Thomson Reuters continues to expand its strategic partnerships for law firms and corporate legal departments to enhance efficiency and client service. Building on its relationship with Syncly, customers will experience the benefit of deeper collaborative product development, including additional integrations in CoCounsel and HighQ with solutions legal professionals commonly use including eDiscovery, practice management and contract lifecycle managements systems. Complementing the best-in-class first-party content and technology from Thomson Reuters, this expanded partnership will also improve functionality, allowing seamless and secure access between Thomson Reuters products and document management systems.
Driving a New Standard for Legal AI Innovation
Bringing Knowledge Search to CoCounsel underscores Thomson Reuters innovative leadership and strategic approach in delivering practical, AI-powered solutions to address the real challenges legal professionals face today. By uniting professional-grade AI, enterprise-grade security, and seamless integration, Thomson Reuters empowers organizations to boost productivity, eliminate duplication, and unlock the full value of their institutional knowledge and Thomson Reuters content – whether in their document management system, Thomson Reuters solutions or third-party applications – all within a single, unmatched ecosystem.
As Thomson Reuters continues integrating AI capabilities and functionality into workflows for professionals, CoCounsel Knowledge Search will add enhancements including agentic search to enable users to ask interpretive questions directly within the CoCounsel chat interface. Additionally, Knowledge Search will be available within productivity tools from Thomson Reuters as well as Microsoft’s ecosystem, creating seamless workflows from information discovery to document creation and collaboration.
