Bring your firm’s institutional intelligence directly into CoCounsel Legal’s research, drafting, and analysis workflows to transform how your team operates.
CoCounsel Legal helps attorneys draft, analyze, and research with powerful AI tools alongside Westlaw and Practical Law to ground their analysis in trusted authority. However, relying on external sources alone creates a critical gap.
Whether assessing a new case, negotiating an agreement, or advising a client, lawyers need access to both trusted legal authority and their firm’s own experience. The most relevant starting point often already exists, but it’s buried in prior matters, negotiated positions, and internal work product. That insight is valuable, but difficult to access and apply in the moment.
CoCounsel Legal now integrates with DeepJudge, the institutional intelligence platform that indexes and activates a firm’s full knowledge base. This integration is now available to joint subscribers and is unifying that context in a single workflow.

How the CoCounsel Legal and DeepJudge integration works
CoCounsel Legal users can now find firm knowledge and judgment, wherever they live, and bring those documents directly into the CoCounsel chat. DeepJudge enables this by creating a unified foundation across a firm’s repositories and business systems, enriching existing metadata and uncovering additional insights from unstructured data.
Using the integration is straightforward, whether you’re in the CoCounsel web app, Westlaw, or Practical Law. From the CoCounsel Chat interface, users can access DeepJudge search, explore their firm’s indexed materials, and attach up to 10 files to their session in a single step. They can then apply any CoCounsel Skill or workflow to begin using that content.
The process takes seconds, moving from document selection to applying them within the same session. From there, CoCounsel Legal draws on firm precedent, Practical Law, and Westlaw to support drafting, analysis, and research without requiring users to move between tools.
Give attorneys the right context at the right moment
The integration removes the context switching that slows execution down, so attorneys can use firm insights alongside CoCounsel Legal’s trusted content and AI in one place.
Users may see improvements across several areas:
- Faster time to first draft: Begin from proven firm precedents instead of a blank page or generic templates.
- Higher-confidence outputs: Apply trusted internal knowledge from DeepJudge alongside Practical Law and Westlaw content to produce well-supported results.
- Enterprise-grade governance: DeepJudge’s permission-aware search retrieves and synthesizes information from internal documents and data across systems, so access controls, permissions, and ethical walls carry through to CoCounsel results unchanged.
- Less switching between tools: Find the right language and documents in DeepJudge and bring them into CoCounsel without downloading or re-uploading.
Together, these capabilities help legal teams move faster, maintain consistency, and produce work grounded in both firm precedent and trusted legal authority.
New ways of operating, built on your firm’s strongest work
The connection between CoCounsel Legal and DeepJudge changes how attorneys apply firm knowledge in their daily work. Here are a few examples of what that looks like in practice.
Draft contracts from existing firm precedent
Use DeepJudge to locate your firm’s best templates and most relevant prior agreements. Pull them into CoCounsel and kick off a drafting project using proven firm knowledge, Practical Law market standards, and legal expertise working together from the start.
Inform new matter strategy with your firm’s case history
At the outset of a new matter, use DeepJudge to find prior cases with similar claims, counterparties, or fact patterns. Bring those documents into CoCounsel and generate a structured summary of strategic decisions, arguments, and outcomes before strategy discussions begin.
Give clients a balanced view of litigation risk
At the case assessment stage, use DeepJudge to pull the firm’s most relevant prior pleadings or position papers on the same claim type and bring them into CoCounsel. Run the Arguments and Counterarguments skill to generate a balanced picture of the strongest arguments on both sides, grounded in Westlaw and your firm’s own established positions. The advising partner gets a fully informed foundation for a litigation risk memo without starting the analysis from scratch.
Operationalizing firm knowledge is the future
Firms leading the next phase of AI adoption are not simply generating answers faster. They are embedding their own experience into every step of how work gets done. Generic AI alone no longer creates an advantage. What sets firms apart is how effectively they apply their own precedent, perspective, and past decisions to new matters.
Together, Thomson Reuters and DeepJudge are giving joint subscribers a seamless path to connect institutional insight with the research, drafting, and analysis tools they already use. As more processes build on this connection, firms that adopt early will move faster, produce more consistent work, and scale their expertise more effectively across the business.
