Every legal professional knows the importance of conducting in-depth legal research. Having a thorough legal research process enables law firms to devise sound legal strategies and arguments, helps corporate legal departments formulate guidance on laws across jurisdictions, and allows government organizations to obtain the most authoritative answers. However, most AI technology tools aren’t designed to address the specific needs of legal professionals or the complex, shifting regulations that shape their work.

That’s what makes Westlaw Advantage Canada so valuable. By combining trusted legal content with advanced agentic AI capabilities, Westlaw Advantage Canada delivers the trusted information and answers legal professionals’ need to quickly and confidently move from research to results. Let’s take a closer look at some of the capabilities that make Westlaw Advantage the most advanced legal research solution available.

Deep Research

Every legal matter starts with answering a series of questions. The strength of your legal strategies, arguments, and cases depends on the accuracy and depth of your legal research. The Deep Research feature of Westlaw Advantage Canada uses agentic AI that acts like an expert researcher, quickly generating a detailed plan to access the information and answers you require.

Emulate the workflow of a seasoned legal researcher with Deep Research, using agentic AI to formulate and execute a multistep plan that explores every angle of your legal question.

Unlike some public AI tools that pull data from unreliable and unverified internet sources, Westlaw Advantage Canada uses only Westlaw content as source material. This means you can always feel confident knowing that only the most up-to-date, accurate, and authoritative legal resources are used. What’s more, Deep Research is optimized for both English and French language and surfaces content that supports both common law and civil law practice. It provides detailed reports with transparent reasoning, cited authorities, and valuable insights, including governing laws and arguments and authorities on either side. This provides the real-time intelligence necessary to accelerate your path from legal analysis to strategic implementation.

Litigation Document Analyzer

In high-stakes litigation, outcomes hinge on the clarity, accuracy, and persuasiveness of your arguments. The credibility of each citation, the precision of every assertion, and the coherence of your reasoning determine whether your position prevails.

AI-powered Litigation Document Analyzer strengthens your legal documents with clear recommendations, citation verification, quotation analysis, and a ready-to-use table of authorities.

Litigation Document Analyzer helps you fortify those arguments. Simply upload your legal document, such as a factum or memo, and receive a detailed report that takes the guesswork out of litigation preparation. Powered by KeyCite, it identifies citations that have received negative treatment, ensuring you only rely on good law. It pinpoints potential weaknesses, surfaces additional relevant authorities, and provides quotation analysis to ensure citation accuracy. AI takes this analysis a step further, identifying any potential mischaracterization in quoted language. With a complete table of authorities ready to download and file, you can refine your reasoning, reinforce your citations, and present compelling arguments with confidence.

The comprehensive capabilities of Westlaw Advantage Canada become even more transformative when integrated within CoCounsel Legal Canada, extending your research results seamlessly into document analysis and drafting workflows.
