Strategic legal intelligence that anticipates every angle — delivered in minutes, not weeks
As a General Counsel, you know that the strongest legal strategies aren’t built on wishful thinking. Instead, they’re forged by understanding all the relevant angles of an issue before your adversaries or counterparties do.
Whether you’re preparing your company for high-stakes litigation or navigating complex transactions, the ability to see around corners can mean the difference between a favorable outcome and an expensive surprise.
CoCounsel Legal‘s Deep Research capability redefines your legal analysis by delivering comprehensive strategic intelligence in minutes rather than weeks of outside counsel engagement.
The reality of traditional legal research
Consider a typical scenario: You’re facing a potential breach of contract dispute involving force majeure clauses triggered by supply chain disruptions. Traditionally, you’d either spend countless hours researching precedents yourself or engage outside counsel to prepare a comprehensive analysis covering:
- The strength of your contractual position
- Likely counterarguments from the opposing party
- Recent judicial trends in similar disputes
- Potential vulnerabilities in your case theory
- Strategic options for resolution
That outside counsel memo might cost $15,000-25,000 and take 2-3 weeks to deliver. Meanwhile, business decisions hang in the balance.
Deep Research: Your strategic intelligence engine
But what if you could get the equivalent of that outside counsel memo – today, for free?
What if you could get the equivalent of that outside counsel memo – today, for free? CoCounsel Legal’s Deep Research capability redefines legal analysis with its “Arguments & Rebuttals” feature. This tool provides a comprehensive analysis that presents detailed arguments on all sides of your legal issue. This isn’t just research; it’s strategic war-gaming powered by professional-grade AI and grounded in the authoritative content of Westlaw and Practical Law.
Litigation example: The complete picture
Let’s return to that force majeure dispute. Deep Research would instantly provide:
Your strongest arguments:
- Recent court decisions favoring broad interpretation of force majeure in supply chain contexts
- Specific contractual language supporting your position
- Documentation requirements you’ve likely satisfied
Anticipated counterarguments:
- Opposing counsel’s likely challenges to your notice timing
- Alternative performance arguments they might raise
- Mitigation efforts they’ll claim you should have undertaken
Rebuttal strategies:
- Case law distinguishing their likely precedents
- Evidence you’ll need to counter their mitigation arguments
- Procedural advantages you can leverage
This comprehensive view allows you to strengthen weak points before they’re exploited and prepare responses to attacks you might not have anticipated.
Transactional applications: Beyond litigation
Deep Research isn’t limited to dispute preparation. Consider a complex M&A transaction where you’re evaluating regulatory approval risks across multiple jurisdictions.
In a traditional approach, you might engage specialized outside counsel in each jurisdiction, coordinating multiple firms at significant expense and time investment. Deep Research can immediately surface:
Regulatory approval likelihood:
- Recent precedents for similar transactions in each jurisdiction
- Key regulatory concerns and approval timelines
- Strategic structuring options to address potential objections
Deal structure vulnerabilities:
- Antitrust challenges your structure might face
- Foreign investment screening issues
- Potential regulatory conditions that could impact deal value
Strategic alternatives:
- Restructuring options that might expedite approval
- Divestiture strategies to address regulatory concerns
- Timing considerations that could improve approval odds
This intelligence allows you to advise business stakeholders with confidence and identify optimal deal structures before committing significant resources.
