The result is a quicker path from blank page to a client-ready draft in a streamlined workflow with less manual assembly allowing users to spend more time reviewing, negotiating, and advising. Review and then export to Microsoft Word when ready.

My Clauses

Using the new My Clauses in CoCounsel (U.S.), transactional lawyers can build a personal, searchable library of preferred contract provisions saved from playbooks, draft and modify outputs, or added manually so the right language is always within reach. Find what is needed in seconds, tailor it to the specific matter, and reuse it instantly across new agreements. That means less time hunting through old files, fewer drafting interruptions, more consistency across matters, and faster turnaround from first draft to final.

Users also can access corresponding Westlaw and Practical Law content from existing subscriptions without purchasing separate regional entitlements or managing multiple logins. Additionally, an improved capability to switch between jurisdictions eliminates geographical limitations in the drafting workflow.

Citations Format Update

CoCounsel now delivers citations as endnotes (with hyperlinks) instead of footnotes in the U.S., UK, Canada and Australia 鈥� so your finished Word document reads cleanly from start to finish 鈥� a key preference often heard from customers. When exporting the output of any CoCounsel skill or workflow, citations appear at the end of the document, and each in-text citation links to the supporting source and back again. This creates less scrolling and fewer distractions while the work is reviewed, shared, and finalized, especially on longer drafts and research-heavy documents. The in-app experience stays the same; this update improves the readability of exported documents while keeping sources easy to verify.

Tabular Analysis

Smokeball and 成人VR视频 to create a legal technology ecosystem that connects the business and the practice of law in a single, integrated experience. By bringing together Smokeball’s industry-leading practice management platform with CoCounsel Legal, our agentic AI solution for authoritative legal research, document analysis, and drafting, we’re giving legal professionals in small law firms something that simply hasn’t existed in the market until now.

Smokeball brings operational excellence to running a firm; 成人VR视频 brings two centuries of legal expertise 鈥� the driving force behind the power of CoCounsel Legal 鈥� purpose-built for the rigor the practice of law demands. Law firms finally have both in one place.

Why This Partnership Matters for Our Customers

For too long, legal professionals have had to stitch together disconnected systems. They rely on one tool to manage matters, another to do research, another to draft documents, and another to bill. Every handoff between systems is a place where time is lost, errors creep in, and client service suffers. This partnership changes that.

Smokeball’s platform already handles the full operational layer of running a legal practice: case management, document automation, billing, time tracking, calendaring, and client communications. Right away, our joint customers in the U.S. will be able to connect matter documents directly to CoCounsel Legal in bulk, saving significant time, reducing the risk of errors, and streamlining workflow like never before.

This is only the start of the journey, as additional exciting integration phases are in progress. The trajectory is to create a unified interface where legal professionals can effortlessly access 成人VR视频 legal content, AI, know-how tools, and current matter data 鈥� all in one seamless interface.

Built on a Foundation of Trust and Proven Scale

This partnership does more than just create an ecosystem, it connects a shared commitment to serve legal professionals at the highest level and with solutions they trust.

成人VR视频 recently announced that one million professionals have chosen CoCounsel, the company’s professional-grade AI technology, across 107 countries and territories. That milestone is a testament to something important: AI is moving from experimentation to production. Rather than standalone solutions, firms are embedding AI directly into daily workflows where accuracy, sourcing, and data protection are essential.

Professionals are not deciding whether to use AI anymore. They are deciding which AI they trust when their reputation and their clients’ data are on the line. CoCounsel is built for exactly that moment.

The next generation of CoCounsel Legal, entering beta soon, is designed around conversational task execution, meaning the best is still ahead for our customers.

Leading the Industry Forward

With Smokeball and CoCounsel Legal, no other combination of technology in the small law firm market brings together this depth of legal content and AI capability with this breadth of practice management functionality. This is what legal tech leadership looks like 鈥� not just building great individual products, but creating ecosystems that meet lawyers where they are and give them the resources they need to serve their clients at the highest level.

The legal industry is moving fast. 成人VR视频 is committed to making sure our customers don’t just keep up, but that they lead. Our partnership with Smokeball is a continued step in delivering on that, and we’re just getting started.

Why Agentic AI Matters

The distinction between AI copilots and agentic AI solutions isn’t just semantic 鈥� it’s fundamental to how legal work gets done. While copilots offer suggestions and assistance, agentic AI like CoCounsel Legal takes on complex, multi-step professional work with advanced reasoning, authoritative content integration, and deep subject matter expertise.

The UK launch of CoCounsel Legal represents more than geographic expansion. It’s the convergence of critical innovations: Deep Research capabilities on both Practical Law and Westlaw Advantage, and seamless integration with existing legal technology ecosystems including Microsoft 365, document management systems, and 成人VR视频 HighQ.

Sam Dixon, chief innovation officer at Womble Bond Dickinson, said: “We knew we needed to bring in a GenAI legal assistant to help us deliver the best possible service we can for clients. For us, the fact that CoCounsel had the ability to lean on the Westlaw content and the Practical Law content was really beneficial. And it already integrates with a lot of the rest of our legal tech stack, such as HighQ.”

CoCounsel Legal’s native integration with existing workflows means legal professionals don’t have to choose between innovation and productivity 鈥� they get both.

“We have found the working relationship with 成人VR视频 very collaborative, transparent and supportive 鈥� real partners who go the extra mile to support us in getting value out of our relationship,鈥� said Christina Demetriades, global operating officer, Accenture Legal. 鈥淐oCounsel is a massive opportunity for our function 鈥� we see it as a way of displacing outside counsel spend and augmenting our team in practice 鈥� I see it helping build the Future Ready Legal professional. I have already used it myself to prepare advice for our business on an upcoming opmodel transformation. It was a great value add.”

Deep Research: A Global First for UK Legal Professionals

The UK launch introduces several industry firsts. debuts globally in the UK, with its U.S. release set for February. The new brings professional-grade agentic AI research capabilities specifically tailored to UK legal content. Most significantly, both content sets are unified in a single platform, eliminating the need to navigate between systems while delivering comprehensive results across practice areas.

What makes Deep Research genuinely transformative is its ability to reason, plan, and execute comprehensive legal research autonomously. It doesn’t just retrieve information 鈥� it generates multi-step research plans, traces its logic with transparent reasoning, and delivers structured reports backed by Westlaw and Practical Law citations. Legal professionals can hand off complete research questions to an AI that understands the assignment, explains its process, sources its answers, and builds argument foundations, all with human oversight.

The Foundation for Professional AI

David Wong, chief product officer, 成人VR视频, said: “Professional-grade AI is fundamentally changing how legal work gets done, and with CoCounsel Legal, we’re delivering enterprise-ready agentic AI that helps UK law firms and legal departments future-proof their practices. This isn’t just about efficiency 鈥� it’s about empowering legal professionals with AI that reasons through complex problems, integrates seamlessly into existing workflows, and scales across entire organizations while maintaining the trusted, authoritative foundation our customers depend on. This isn’t just about convenience 鈥� it’s about delivering real value to our clients and their work.”

That foundation 鈥� combining advanced reasoning models, authoritative content, deep subject matter expertise, and native integration 鈥� represents the essential components needed to complete complex, multi-step professional work. It’s what separates professional-grade AI from consumer-grade tools, and what makes CoCounsel Legal uniquely positioned to transform how legal work happens in practice, not just in theory.

Looking Ahead

The UK launch of CoCounsel Legal signals a broader shift in how professional services will be delivered. As agentic AI capabilities mature and expand, the question isn’t whether AI will transform legal work 鈥� it’s whether legal professionals and organizations will embrace tools purpose-built for their needs or settle for generic solutions that promise much but deliver little.

For UK legal professionals ready to explore what professional-grade agentic AI can do for their practice, the opportunity is here. The future of legal work isn’t waiting 鈥� it’s embedded in the work itself.
