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.

It uses AI to refine and review documents, producing more accurate, higher-quality work 鈥� without leaving Microsoft Word.

I recently shared a CoCounsel Drafting demo with 鈥檚 Richard Tromans.

鈥淭he offering has been especially shaped for legal needs here and will directly engage with TR鈥檚 contract data in Practical Law,鈥� Tromans said in .

I highlighted CoCounsel Drafting capabilities and features for Tromans, and we discussed how 鈥淟LM-supported drafting could be truly transformative.鈥� We talked about how users will be able to use the large language model (LLM) to modify a clause, for example, and how CoCounsel Drafting uses generative AI grounded in retrieval augmented generation (RAG) to access听Practical Law content and notes.

We also discussed how CoCounsel Drafting delivers a level of detail similar to what a junior associate may produce when asked to draft a contract. I noted that CoCounsel Drafting allows customers to use their own playbook to draft a preferred set of terms for any contract type or use a Practical Law playbook for a range of popular contract types.

Finally, Tromans and I discussed integrations 鈥� with HighQ and with document management systems (DMS) including iManage 鈥� as well as security.

On the other side of the pond, U.S. customer feedback on CoCounsel Drafting, which we introduced earlier this year, has been overwhelmingly positive. I hope that UK legal professionals are equally pleased with the time savings and productivity increases CoCounsel Drafting offers.

As a former lawyer turned AI product leader, I’ve lived the pain of tedious legal tasks firsthand. That’s why I’m passionate about harnessing generative AI to transform legal drafting. I know how much time and energy gets wasted on repetitive tasks, taking away from the work that really matters. Now, I’m excited to help lawyers reclaim that time and focus on what they love 鈥� whether that’s helping clients, developing strategy, or simply enjoying a better work-life balance.

This is a guest post from Rawia Ashraf, vice president of Product Management, 成人VR视频.

Customers will experience a more seamless workflow within CoCounsel 2.0, the professional-grade GenAI assistant, across legal research products, including CoCounsel Core. The deeper integrations, available in late October, will further a user-centric experience throughout the 成人VR视频 legal solutions portfolio and improve ease of use.

The deeper integrations will improve ease of use in two ways:

• The full CoCounsel AI assistant will be available in the user interface of Westlaw and Practical Law, enabling users to be able to use CoCounsel Core skills seamlessly.
• Users will soon be able to create an on-page analysis of Westlaw and Practical Law content with CoCounsel.

In addition, two new GenAI research features 鈥� Mischaracterization Identification and AI Jurisdictional Surveys 鈥� will help customers save substantial time and deliver greater confidence that legal research is accurate, thorough, and complete.

Mischaracterization Identification and AI Jurisdictional Surveys

Mischaracterization Identification is a new generative AI capability to help detect mischaracterizations and omissions in legal briefs. Customers can upload a brief to Westlaw Precision with CoCounsel and see where opposing counsel has mischaracterized the law, and judges using this feature will be able to see where all litigants may have mischaracterized the law in their filings.

鈥淚 often find that opposing counsel has miscited or overstated case authority, and when that happens, we can use it to great advantage with the court.鈥疶his tool would save tons of time in finding those opportunities,鈥� said Scott Matney, general counsel, FPS Inc.

鈥淭his enhancement [Mischaracterization Identification] is one of the most innovative legal tools available,鈥� said Susan Verbonitz, partner, Weir Greenblatt Pierce. 鈥淚t not only reduces time spent on the rinse-and-repeat task associated with human research, but it also identifies potential weaknesses in opponent鈥檚 arguments.鈥�

AI Jurisdictional Surveys on Westlaw Precision with CoCounsel is a generative AI skill that enables customers to do 50-state-survey research much faster than with traditional methods, saving hours of time. It provides relevant statute language for legal questions for each jurisdiction selected for federal and state jurisdictions and U.S. territories.

鈥淭ime is valuable and there is never enough of it,鈥� Verbonitz said. 鈥淎I Jurisdictional Surveys and the new mischaracterizations enhancement expand our research capabilities while also saving us time and reducing cost.鈥�
