Chosen by changemakers
With growth comes challenges
In 2026, Freeman Mathis & Gary (FMG Law) climbed to 172 on the Am Law 200, marking one of the largest jumps on the list. That ascent reflects a deliberate expansion, including deeper benches in key markets, strategic geographic moves, and acquisitions that strengthen the firm. However, scaling brings new demands. FMG Law must now deliver consistent, high-quality work across dozens of offices without diluting the institutional knowledge that made its attorneys successful in the first place — and that sets the firm apart.
Meet the firm
FMG Law is a national litigation firm with more than 570 attorneys across 40 offices, 22 states, and 46 jurisdictions. Its practice areas span insurance, healthcare, construction, financial services, and the public sector. FMG Law goes beyond reactive, case-by-case defense with its connected litigation strategy that brings portfolio-level awareness, technology-enabled execution, and disciplined judgment to every matter.
Ben Mathis, FMG Law's Managing Partner and the visionary driving the firm's technology transformation, is a nationally recognized trial attorney who has represented clients from Fortune 50 companies to startups in high-profile lawsuits and litigation matters.
One unified platform
Thomson Reuters sits at the center of FMG Law's AI transformation. With CoCounsel Legal deployed firmwide in early 2026 and integrated with DeepJudge, the firm now has a unified experience that connects every office, attorney, and practice area to the same institutional knowledge and authoritative legal content. As the firm expands into new markets, that foundation goes, too, ensuring that growth doesn't come at the cost of consistency. Every attorney, wherever they work, benefits from the same trusted foundation.
Fiduciary-Grade AI™ in action
CoCounsel Legal provides FMG Law with answers grounded in authoritative case law and Westlaw citations, transparent reasoning that attorneys can verify at every step, and a design built to support professional judgment rather than replace it.
FMG Law calls Thomson Reuters AI its crystal ball, predicting questions that may arise at depositions, hearings, and trials and preparing attorneys to handle them. The platform supports premier legal research, creates work product more efficiently, and provides best-in-class resources to its attorneys by combining the following tools.

Context unified, teams aligned, growth accelerated
This is how FMG Law's technology transformation is guiding litigation strategy nationwide and benefiting the firm, its attorneys, and its clients.
Boosting work quality and speed
For individual attorneys at FMG Law, Thomson Reuters technology has meaningfully raised the quality and pace of daily work. Associates can now get up to speed on unfamiliar practice areas faster, and partners can focus their attention on the high-judgment aspects of a case.
Creating a powerful return on investment
By combining DeepJudge's ability to find and apply FMG Law intellectual property with trusted Thomson Reuters legal data, the firm is now positioned to deliver an unmatched level of legal work. Their ability to serve clients consistently at a national scale, backed by a common platform and shared institutional knowledge, is a direct contributor to their rapid growth.
Offering more certainty to clients
Clients stand to benefit from more thorough case analysis, earlier identification of exposure and risk patterns, and faster case assessments. Looking ahead, FMG Law expects clients to see more predictable legal costs, better-informed decisions on case strategy and settlement, and faster resolutions.
FMG Law has given its attorneys the tools to do their best work and the infrastructure to scale that work nationally. Their clients stand to benefit from a law firm that is as committed to innovation as it is to advocacy, and leaders say their technology transformation will accelerate as the firm integrates DeepJudge and CoCounsel Legal further into their essential workflows.
“Our firm has a one-office philosophy that's really integral to who we are, and DeepJudge in CoCounsel Legal allows us to utilize that platform throughout the country.”
