Every legal professional knows the importance of conducting in-depth legal research.

That’s what makes Westlaw Advantage so valuable. By combining trusted legal content with advanced agentic AI capabilities, Westlaw Advantage 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 by 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 uses agentic AI that acts like an expert researcher, quickly generating a detailed plan to access the information and answers you require.  

Unlike some public AI tools that pull data from unreliable and unverified internet sources, Westlaw Advantage uses Westlaw content as source material. This means you can always feel confident knowing that only the most updated, accurate, and authoritative legal content is used. Deep Research provides detailed reports with transparent reasoning, cited authorities, and valuable insights. 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 turn 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. 

Litigation Document Analyzer helps you fortify those arguments. It pinpoints potential misstatements of law, surfaces weaknesses in opposing positions, and distills complex complaints into clear, digestible insights. With faster, sharper analysis, you can refine your reasoning, reinforce your citations, and present compelling arguments with confidence.  

Claims Explorer

Whether during prosecuting or defending a case, it’s essential to find all relevant and potentially relevant claims. Unfortunately, the claims identification process is notoriously tedious and prone to errors that can diminish the strength of your case or the amount of compensation you’re able to recover.  

Harnessing the power of AI, Claims Explorer advances the process of identifying claims by surfacing a list of relevant and potentially relevant claims based on the facts and governing law for your case, along with possible defenses for those claims. This enables you to quickly know which claims to pursue, or how to defend against, to provide the best outcome possible for your client.   

Gain unparalleled research efficiency

The legal profession demands precision at every turn — from initial case assessment through final argument. Westlaw Advantage helps you gain deep insights and move seamlessly from research to strategy with the combined power of agentic AI and industry-leading content. When every minute counts and every citation matters, having a research solution built specifically for legal complexity makes the difference between adequate preparation and commanding expertise.
