She’s brought to life by comedic actor Beth Dover, and she’s about to be hard to miss. The CoCo arrives in a fully integrated campaign spanning TV, social, streaming radio, out-of-home and trade events, rolling out across our core professional markets. It’s also the most ambitious brand campaign we have mounted in more than a decade.

Why a character, and why now

Most technology gets explained. We wanted CoCounsel to be felt. Professional audiences have heard every AI promise by now, and most of it sounds the same. A feature list doesn’t cut through that. A personality does. The CoCo is how people meet CoCounsel 鈥� not through a spec sheet, but through presence, authority and the kind of confidence that only comes from actually knowing the answer. She’s memorable on purpose, because the point we’re making deserves to be remembered.

There has been a lot of talk about what AI might do someday. The CoCo is here to talk about what CoCounsel already does, for the professionals who can’t afford to be wrong.

“Professionals in law, tax and compliance don’t have the luxury of being wrong. That’s why CoCounsel exists. It combines the trusted content, technology and expertise 成人VR视频 has spent more than 175 years building and puts it to work in moments that matter most. The CoCo gives that story a voice. She’s confident, authoritative and impossible to ignore鈥攋ust like the professionals we serve. This campaign is about more than introducing a character. It’s a statement about what 成人VR视频 is today: a technology company powered by trusted intelligence, helping professionals navigate a world that grows more complex every day,” said Amy Messano, Chief Communications and Marketing Officer at 成人VR视频.

Through 成人VR视频 expanding partner ecosystem of legal technology companies and law firm partners, CoCounsel Legal is connected to the tools legal professionals already rely on, from transaction management and case intelligence platforms to enterprise search and specialized practice workflows. This works in both directions: bringing more capabilities into CoCounsel Legal, and embedding CoCounsel Legal capabilities into other solutions, so firms can move faster, work smarter, and deliver better results with connected workflows.听

The outcome is a legal practice that runs the way the practice of law demands: greater speed, sharper insight, and the confidence to deliver.听

A Partner Ecosystem Built on听Shared High听Standards听

Law firms face an overwhelming market of solutions with few reliable ways to evaluate what is trustworthy, what is secure, and what actually belongs in a legal tech stack. 成人VR视频 has done that work. Every partner goes through a rigorous vetting process that evaluates their technology, security controls, commitment to data protection, and alignment with the standards legal professionals rely on.听

The outcome is a shared partner ecosystem where legal professionals have seamless access to the intelligence, tools, and connected workflows they need, without the friction of switching between disconnected systems, and without compromising the standards their profession demands.听

鈥淭he partnerships听we鈥檙e听building around听CoCounsel听Legal reflect how the practice of law听actually works: interconnected,听time鈥憇ensitive, and听outcome鈥慸riven. By integrating intelligence directly into workflows, we help firms move faster and听operate听with greater precision.鈥�

The听Partner Ecosystem听in Action听

听Document Review Inside the Deal Workflow听听

Legal teams rely on transaction management platforms to coordinate the work that moves deals forward: collaboration, transparency, checklists, document organization and version control, deal status monitoring, signature page creation and collection, and generating final closing sets. When document review and analysis happen outside that workflow, teams must move files into separate tools and then bring the results back into the platform. This听adds听friction, delays, and the potential for lost context at the moments when speed and accuracy matter most, particularly in time-sensitive transactions.

DealCloser is a transaction management platform used by law firms and in-house legal teams across a broad range of transaction types, including mergers and acquisitions, banking and finance, real estate, venture capital, private equity, restructuring, and other complex transactions. Through its partnership with 成人VR视频, CoCounsel Legal鈥檚 document review capabilities are now embedded directly within DealCloser, bringing AI-powered review to the full transaction lifecycle. Teams can analyze contracts, amendments, exhibits, and diligence materials without leaving the platform where the deal is being executed 鈥� no manual uploads, no version uncertainty, and no need to reconcile findings across tools.听

: Bringing Firm Knowledge into听CoCounsel听Legal听听

Law firms store years of work product across document management systems, intranets, email archives, and other repositories. Their briefs, memos, negotiated agreements, and templates听contain听valuable institutional knowledge that differentiates them. Yet that information can be difficult to surface and apply quickly, particularly when content is spread across multiple systems.听听

DeepJudge听helps firms realize the full value of that collective knowledge through enterprise search, AI agents and workflows, and governed access controls. Lawyers can rapidly find, analyze, and apply the most relevant information across millions of documents in听iManage, NetDocuments, SharePoint, HighQ, network drives, and many other sources.听听

The partnership between DeepJudge and 成人VR视频 connects this institutional intelligence to CoCounsel Legal. Whether attorneys are working in Microsoft Word, CoCounsel, Westlaw, or Practical Law, they can use DeepJudge to rapidly retrieve and synthesize key language, facts, and precedent from internal documents and work product, making firm knowledge available in CoCounsel Legal for research, analysis, and drafting workflows. Firm precedents and external legal authority are accessible and actionable in the same workflow, with existing permissions and ethical walls carrying through.听

: Practice Management and Legal AI in One Ecosystem听听

Small and mid-sized law firms often have too many disconnected tools. When practice management, document storage, legal research, drafting, billing, and document analysis live in separate systems, lawyers spend time on administrative friction instead of legal work, and lean teams with tight margins feel that cost acutely.听听

Smokeball is a cloud-based practice management platform built for small to mid-sized firms, covering intake, matter management, automatic time capture, billing, and client communications. The combination of听CoCounsel听Legal and Smokeball unites deep legal content and advanced AI with comprehensive practice management, powered by technology that understands both the substance of legal work and the mechanics of running a firm.听听

Smokeball matter documents can now be brought directly into听CoCounsel听Legal in bulk,听eliminating听manual uploads and the听version听confusion that comes with moving files between disconnected systems.听听

The result is a more continuous workflow from matter management to substantive legal work. Attorneys can use CoCounsel Legal to rapidly analyze, draft, and research with their actual matter documents at hand, grounded in authoritative Westlaw and Practical Law content. This is just step one in a joint roadmap creating a unified ecosystem for small to mid-sized firms.

A Law Firm as Co-Developer

The partnership with Sterne, Kessler, Goldstein & Fox, one of the leading intellectual property law firms in the United States, takes a different form. Rather than a product integration, this is a co-development relationship in which the firm’s practitioners worked directly alongside Thomson听Reuters听engineers and editorial teams to build a specialized workflow inside听CoCounsel听Legal.听

The focus is Section听101听patent eligibility, a question central to most utility patent disputes, deeply precedent-dependent, and historically requiring significant associate time with no guarantee the research was complete.听

The resulting Patent Claim Eligibility Analyzer inverts the traditional model of legal technology development: instead of practitioners receiving a finished product built by technologists, Sterne Kessler co-developed it from the start, translating the firm’s own Section 101 methodologies into a scalable workflow now available to patent practitioners across听CoCounsel听Legal.听

: Connecting Case Intelligence to Legal听Strategy听听

Personal injury cases are won or lost on facts, and facts live in unstructured records that take too long to organize and are too easy to get wrong. Medical records, treatment timelines, damages calculations, liens, deposition summaries: plaintiff firms are managing all of it, under pressure, against better-resourced opponents.听

Supio Agent changes the equation at every level. At the case level, it ingests every file, every system, every data source the firm runs on and executes the work: medical chronologies, damages summaries, causation analysis, and case-specific drafts grounded in verified facts. At the portfolio level, it surfaces what’s urgent, what’s behind, and what needs to move. At the firm level, it gives leadership real-time visibility into case quality, intake patterns, and institutional knowledge that previously lived only in attorneys’ heads.听

Deep Research with Westlaw Advantage is available natively inside听Supio听Agent, invoked when legal research is needed, running in parallel, and surfacing findings directly in the workflow.听

The result:听Supio听builds the record, compounds the knowledge, and works with Westlaw to verify the law, delivering defensible work product at a scale no case-level tool can touch.听

A Growing Partner Ecosystem听

Thanks to 成人VR视频 partner Anita, German legal research content is now part of the CoCounsel Legal experience, providing authoritative guidance for Germany-based and international teams. A recent document connector integration with practice management solution Litify creates a fast track from matter files to substantive legal work product. 听

Document storage integrations launched early this year with Box and Dropbox extend that reach further, making it easier for firms to work with their documents wherever they live. And with Outlook search now enabled within CoCounsel Legal, users can simultaneously surface and apply relevant information from their email, Westlaw, Practical Law, and other connected sources, all without leaving the platform.听

The听practice听of law looks different depending on where you sit, from solo and small firm practitioners managing tight margins and lean teams, to large global firms and corporations navigating complex,听high-stakes听matters. The听partner听ecosystem is built to serve that full spectrum, meeting legal professionals where they work with the connected intelligence and seamless听workflows听their practice demands.听

As the听legal听profession’s needs evolve, so听will听the听partner听ecosystem.听For lawyers, that means more capability, more connectivity, and more of the intelligence they need,听wherever their work happens.听

Learn more about CoCounsel Legal

Earlier this month, I watched that shift play out on two stages. First, at Snowflake Summit, I talked about the data foundation powering enterprise AI. Then, at Fortune Brainstorm Tech, I sat with tech-forward leaders from Salesforce, Amgen, Optum, SentinelOne, TrustGuard, and May Mobility, debating where these systems break when the stakes are real.听

Different rooms, different framings. Same conversation.听

The AI market is starting to agree trust is what separates AI that demos well from AI that survives contact with production. Traceable, governed, explainable: the words are everywhere. Trust has become the thing we all nod along to.

But we keep talking about it as a feature. Something you bolt on once the model works. A checkpoint before launch.

And there was one thing few people were willing to say out loud:

Trust is not a feature. It is a bill. And much of the industry is about to discover it never paid for it.

The tax nobody put on the slide

The part that often goes unsaid in the keynotes is that the governed data foundation that makes an AI system defensible takes years to build, costs real money, and produces almost nothing you can put on stage while you are building it. There is no demo for 鈥渨e governed every layer underneath, so the same question never returns two different answers.鈥� Nobody throws a launch event for a semantic layer.

So many companies did not build one. The last few years rewarded the opposite instinct, the one the consumer internet was built on: ship it, watch what breaks, patch it in the next release. Fail fast.听

That reflex produced extraordinary products. It is also precisely the wrong reflex to carry into law, tax, audit, and compliance, where the first failure is not a lesson. It is a brief filed with a citation that does not exist, in front of a judge.

At Snowflake Summit, my colleague Laura Safdie captured it well: you cannot bring AI to a profession you do not understand or transform a workflow you have never done.

For a consumer chatbot, a model that is fluent without being informed may be a tolerable trade. For the lawyer defending an antitrust case, the tax professional signing a multinational filing, or the compliance officer clearing a transaction, 鈥渕ostly right鈥� is not a trade-off. It is malpractice. And 鈥渢he AI did it鈥� has never worked as a defense in a courtroom.

The companies sprinting into agentic AI on top of fragmented data and governance bolted on at the end are not necessarily moving faster than everyone else. They are running up a debt that comes due the first time someone asks them to explain an output and they cannot.

The quiet work is about to pay off

In Aspen, in a room full of hands-on technology leaders, one idea kept coming through clearly: the quiet work is about to pay off.

The model is almost never the thing that breaks first in production. Ownership breaks first. Auditability breaks first. When nobody has defined who owns the output or what happens when it is wrong, the model turns out to be the easy part.

Everyone has access to good models now. The layer underneath is the hard part, and it cannot be acquired in a quarter.

At 成人VR视频, we made that investment before it was fashionable. The work may be unglamorous, but the results are exactly what enterprise AI now requires: a governed semantic model that turned five conflicting answers from five teams into a single source of truth; complex financial analysis that used to take weeks, now completed in seconds; data refresh cycles reduced from roughly a day to near real time; and AI agents that can explore data, surface patterns, and generate analysis because the foundation underneath them is trusted enough to reason on.

Just as important, every AI capability is assessed across regulatory, privacy, security, ethics, and performance risk before it ships. ISO 42001 certification is treated as a continuous discipline, not a press release. And our trusted data estate across tens of thousands of governed tables is why we could show up as a customer with proof, not just intent.

That is the quiet work. And it is the reason we can put AI into the highest-stakes professional work there is and stand behind the answer because it is traceable and auditable.

The next phase rewards a different kind of company

One line from a fellow panelist, Elena Kvochko of TrustGuard, stuck with me: you do not let AI grade its own work. As agents take on more, the volume of output to verify grows faster than any human team can check by hand, which means oversight must be engineered into the system, not promised in a policy after the fact.

That is the real shift underway: from AI that helps with a task to AI that completes an entire workflow inside an environment it can be trusted to operate in. Give it an objective, and it can plan, research, validate, and coordinate across the whole thing, not just answer a question.

The agent who can navigate proprietary knowledge, permissions, and genuine accountability is worth far more than the that writes a confident paragraph.

Enterprises do not run on models. They run on trusted systems. And the layer where work actually gets completed is where trust and accountability live.

So here is the prediction the demos are hiding: the next two years will not be won by whoever has the most impressive model. They will be won by whoever quietly paid the bill: traceability, security, governance, and explainability.

We paid that bill early, on purpose, because the highest-stakes professional work demands it. That is not where the work ends. It is where trusted AI begins.

General-purpose AI is advancing quickly and delivering real value. It will continue to augment the operational layer: workflow automation, routine document processing, and open-ended brainstorming. Then there is the work that must be cited, audited, and defended. Research that shapes case strategy. Regulatory submissions. Transactions where a partner puts their name on the closing certificate. This is the work that demands something general-purpose AI was not designed for and can鈥檛 reliably deliver through prompting alone. The AI to support high-stakes work needs authoritative grounding, citation integrity, and professional governance built into the architecture from the first step, not added at the end. It needs depth.

Those two categories complement each other, but they are separating in terms of their roles in the stack. And the question for every professional organization is no longer whether to adopt AI; it is which kind the work in front of them requires. Legal is where that question is sharpest, and where we are answering it first. But the same divide is opening across tax, accounting, audit, and risk, wherever professionals are expected to produce work that can withstand scrutiny. That is the work we built for, and today the is here for early access.

The profession has already reached this conclusion

Our 2026 Future of Professionals research, drawing on more than 1,800 legal and tax professionals across 62 countries, makes the shift plain. Most now use AI several times a week. The open question is no longer adoption. It is trust. Asked what makes AI accountable to professional standards, 95% pointed to safeguarding confidential data, 94% to outputs grounded in verified content rather than the open internet, and 87% to work built on human expertise that can be explained and defended.

The stakes are no longer hypothetical. Courts have sanctioned lawyers for filings built on AI-generated citations that did not exist and have been clear that responsibility sits with the professional, not the tool. Adoption is accelerating anyway. That combination is exactly why the category of AI now matters as much as the capability of AI.

Agentic AI is not a counting exercise

The word agentic is everywhere, usually used to count things: how many tools a system can call, how many agents it can name. Those capabilities matter, but the number of agents is the wrong measure. We built the next generation of CoCounsel Legal on the principles that make agentic systems genuinely powerful, the same ones that make coding agents work: reason through the problem in testable steps, call the right tools as the work requires, adapt when new information changes the analysis, and keep the reasoning traceable enough to verify. Agentic capability is not about enumerating and building a deterministic set of skills; it is about building an intelligent system that is adaptable while being rooted in the tools and information that underpin the business and the industry.

What makes that reasoning trustworthy is where the knowledge sits. There is a meaningful difference between a system that calls Westlaw at the end of a task to check citations, and one where Westlaw and Practical Law are wired into how the agent reasons from the first step, content that took 成人VR视频 175 years to assemble. The first generates and then checks. The second reasons against authoritative knowledge throughout. The outputs are not slightly different; they are structurally different. CoCounsel Legal is the second model. The attorney does not approve the work on faith. They inspect it. Building professional AI requires more than integrating frontier models. It also requires specialized models built for the work itself.

We are strengthening this from underneath, too. CoCounsel Legal is and will remain multi-model by design. Alongside the frontier providers we work with, we are building our own: Thomson, our vertically specialized foundation model, built for depth and accountability rather than breadth. It ships later this year, first in Tabular Analysis inside CoCounsel Legal, where extracting structured answers across large document sets rewards precision a general model handles inconsistently.

A standard you cannot measure is just a claim

If professional AI is moving from answers to defensible work product, evaluation has to move with it.

That is why we built CoCoBench, our lawyer-led evaluation framework: more than 1,000 tasks written by practicing attorneys and scored against gold-standard answers also written by attorneys, from Big Law, government, in-house, and boutiques. It does not ask whether an output sounds like legal analysis. It asks whether the reasoning is right for the jurisdiction, whether the correct framework was applied to the facts, and whether an attorney could defend the result under scrutiny.

Measured against representative legal tasks reviewed by licensed attorneys, CoCoBench shows what professional-grade evaluation requires. These are not abstract benchmark questions. They are legal tasks, informed by practice experience, held to the standard of work a professional would need to review, rely on, and defend. That bar gets set when verified content, agentic reasoning, expert evaluation, and deep workflow integration work as one system.

Built for where work begins, wherever that is

Professional work does not start in one place. It begins in research platforms, drafting tools, document systems, and increasingly in general-purpose AI assistants. So we are not trying to be every interface a professional touches. Through APIs, connectors, Model Context Protocol support, and partner integrations across the AI and , CoCounsel Legal can be reached from the tools customers already use. When a lawyer hands off a task through MCP, they are not querying a content database. They are handing it to a system where authoritative content is wired into the reasoning, and the result can be inspected and defended. The general-purpose model starts the work. CoCounsel Legal finishes it to a standard that holds up.

This is what we mean when we describe CoCounsel evolving into an agentic operating system for professional work. Not a chatbot, not a list of agents, not a collection of plugins, but a trusted system that brings content, context, tools, models, verification, and human oversight together to move work to completion, while keeping people in the parts that matter most: judgment, strategy, review, and accountability.

Professionals will adopt AI when they trust it more than they fear it. That trust will not come from speed alone. It will come from systems that help them finish the work correctly and prove they did.

The future of professional AI will not be defined by who generates the most answers. It will be defined by who can help professionals produce work they can defend. That is the standard we believe matters, and the standard we are building toward.

That is what we built. The next phase of professional AI is here.

For our听customers,听flexibility is powerful. Work can begin in听the听environment that is most natural for the task at hand. But it also creates a critical challenge: as work moves across more tools, models, partners, and interfaces, how do professionals听keep track of what happened and why?听听The听final output听must听be听accurate, transparent, secure, and defensible.听As AI moves from answering questions to planning, acting, and coordinating work across tools, the system behind the interface matters more than ever.

That question is becoming more urgent as AI changes the speed and scale of professional work. The gap between what is plausible and what is correct, between what is fast and what can be trusted, is widening. In legal, tax, audit, and compliance, that gap is not theoretical. It creates real consequences for clients, organizations, markets, and reputations.

At 成人VR视频, we call the standard听required听for this work Fiduciary-Grade AI:听AI designed for professionals whose work听is subject to regulatory oversight听and duties听of care听and where听accuracy,听confidentiality, and听accountability听are critical. In the agentic era, that standard becomes even more important because AI is no longer only generating answers. It is beginning to听help听plan work, use tools, coordinate steps, and help complete complex tasks.听And it is increasingly dependent on many interconnected AI technologies, models, and agents working together to produce a final work product.

That is the standard we are building CoCounsel听to,听as it evolves into an听agentic听operating system听for听the professions we serve.

CoCounsel is designed to meet professionals wherever high-stakes work happens. Often, that means starting and completing work directly in CoCounsel. Increasingly, it also means making CoCounsel accessible across the broader ecosystem of tools, models, platforms, and partners our customers already use.

The goal is simple: put听Fiduciary-Grade听AI听at the fingertips of our customers, wherever professional work begins, and ensure that when the work matters, it can be trusted.听That is what we mean by an听agentic听operating system: not a single agent, chatbot, or workflow tool, but a trusted system that can bring together content, context, tools, models, verification, and human oversight to help professionals move work forward.

Starting Work Is Easy. Finishing It Is What Matters.

AI has made it easier than ever to begin work. A prompt can generate a draft, summarize a document, surface听a possible answer, or move a task forward in seconds.

But in professional environments, starting work is not the hard part. Finishing it听accurately听is.

This need is especially visible in legal, where professionals must ground their work in trusted sources and stand behind the results.听When work carries consequences, when it needs to stand up in a boardroom, before a regulator, in an audit, or in court, what matters is how that work is grounded, verified,听validated, and made defensible.

That is the role CoCounsel is designed to play.

Trust in professional AI cannot be treated as a feature added at the end.听It has to be built into the system itself.听Outputs must be grounded in authoritative, continuously maintained sources. They must be shaped by domain听expertise. They must include mechanisms for validation and transparency, so professionals can understand, verify, and stand behind the results.

This is what separates general-purpose AI from听Fiduciary-Grade听AI.

General-purpose AI can be extraordinarily useful for exploration, brainstorming, summarization, and productivity. But high-stakes听professional work requires more than a plausible answer. It requires systems that understand the domain, apply trusted sources, respect privacy and security obligations, and support the human accountability that听remains听at the center of professional judgment.

We are seeing this first in legal. CoCounsel Legal combines advanced AI with 成人VR视频 trusted legal content, workflows, and听expertise, including Westlaw, Practical听Law听and听KeyCite,听which can be applied to听customers鈥� own documents and work听product. It is designed not only to help legal professionals move faster, but to help ensure their work can be trusted when it matters most.

As Elizabeth F. Salsedo-Surovov, Director of Knowledge Management and Information Resources at Robinson & Cole LLP, recently said:听鈥淲e’re really excited to be using [CoCounsel Legal] Deep Research鈥� we are using it in Westlaw through our partnership with 成人VR视频, in our听on-premise听AI environment to pull in the Deep Research reports so that people are not doing research in the听ChatGPTs听of the world, they’re doing research in Westlaw. …听Utilize听the trusted听resource听and tools of Westlaw to do your legal research.听Don’t听rely on other AI tools.鈥�

That customer perspective captures the shift underway. Professionals are not just asking for faster AI. They are asking for AI they can rely on.

Building Across the Customer鈥檚 Ecosystem

The next generation of CoCounsel is being built for that reality.

CoCounsel will continue to be a primary destination for professional work. For many customers and many workflows, the best experience will begin inside CoCounsel itself, where 成人VR视频 can bring together content, workflow, context, AI, and various 3rd听party applications and agents听in one trusted environment.

But professional work also starts in many other places. It starts听in听documents, emails, enterprise systems, matter management tools, tax workflows, accounting platforms, customer environments, and increasingly general-purpose AI assistants.听听That is why we are building CoCounsel to听operate听across a broader ecosystem as well.

Through APIs, connectors, Model Context Protocol capabilities, and emerging interoperability standards, CoCounsel can be integrated with and invoked from the environments where customers are already working. In legal, we are beginning to听demonstrate听this through our work with Anthropic and Claude, enabling customers to connect Claude with CoCounsel Legal so that work can move between a general-purpose AI environment and 成人VR视频 trusted legal AI system.

And this is just one part of the broader strategy.

We are engaging across the AI and enterprise technology ecosystem,听with Google, Microsoft, OpenAI, AWS, Anthropic, and other partners, to make CoCounsel available where our customers choose to work.听Through MCP and other integrations, CoCounsel can be accessed from the environments where customers are already working.

This is not about turning 成人VR视频 into a passive content layer for someone else鈥檚 interface. It is about making CoCounsel available as the trusted professional AI system that grounds,听validates, and completes high-stakes work, regardless of where that work begins.

The same strategy extends beyond听legal. As CoCounsel continues to expand across 成人VR视频, including tax, accounting, audit, risk, and compliance, we are building toward a future where fiduciary-grade AI is available across the professional workflows our customers rely on every day.

What Comes Next

AI is raising expectations for speed and scale across every professional industry. But as the volume of AI-assisted work increases, so does the pressure on accuracy, judgment, and accountability.

The systems that matter most will not be the ones that simply help professionals start听work听faster. They will be the ones professionals can rely on to finish work correctly.

That is the future we are building听toward with听CoCounsel.

We will continue to make CoCounsel a best-in-class destination for professional work. And we will continue to extend it across the ecosystems where our customers are already working, across models, platforms, partners, and workflows.

Because the future of professional AI will not be defined only by who can generate the fastest answer.

It will be defined by which systems professionals can verify, trust, and stand behind.

That is the fiduciary-grade standard we are building into CoCounsel across 成人VR视频.听

That is not what happened.

Instead, what we heard from lawyers using the beta stopped us in our tracks. We received emails from attorneys who had used CoCounsel Legal for specific tasks saying they were now starting nearly every project in the new experience. More than a few testers sent us emails sharing how much they 鈥淔#@%ing loved鈥� the new CoCounsel (that鈥檚 a direct quote!). Transactional lawyers told us they were completing work in a single session that used to take multiple tools and context rebuilding. Litigators told us the underlying legal analysis made them rethink what was possible with AI in complex work. Our average rating on outputs was over 4 stars (out of 5)! Across every user, the reaction to the shift was the same, and it was unprompted: I can鈥檛 get enough of this. They started asking us to add additional users to the beta program and told us they were now rethinking rollouts planned with other AI tools.

We realized we built a product that lawyers needed access to now.

So, we are not waiting. Starting this week, CoCounsel Legal customers will get early access to the next generation of CoCounsel, ahead of the full launch planned for later this summer starting in the U.S, and followed by rollouts in Canada, UK and Australia. The product will keep getting better. But it is already good enough that keeping it from you any longer felt like the wrong call.

“The new version of CoCounsel Legal is now one of the first tools I turn to when I want to get work done. Where I once used CoCounsel Legal for specific tasks, I now start nearly everything with the new CoCounsel Legal.”

Dan Block, Director, Sterne Kessler Goldstein & Fox

Built to Work Like a Senior Associate

The first generation of CoCounsel Legal was built around skills and structured workflows. It reflected where AI was when we designed it. You chose a skill, defined a workflow, or wrote a detailed prompt, and the work came back task by task.

The next generation works the way an attorney works with a teammate. Describe your matter in plain language. CoCounsel Legal creates a plan, dives deep into legal authority, reasons through the legal issues, retrieves what it needs from your own precedents, and from Westlaw and Practical Law, and drafts with citations. When new information changes the picture, it adapts. Instead of getting piecemeal answers, you get a professional standard response that you can iterate on.

In the beta, attorneys stopped comparing CoCounsel Legal to other AI products and software. They started comparing it to a senior associate. The work came back with the detail and judgment they would expect from a skilled colleague 鈥� verifiable, ready for review, and open to iteration. Like a good teammate, CoCounsel Legal does not just deliver an answer. It stays in the conversation until the work is right.

“Lawyers don’t want to just operate software, and that’s not what great AI should do. CoCounsel keeps them in the analytical mindset they were trained for: going back and forth, challenging answers, and steering the work. With sourcing directly from Westlaw and Practical Law, they’re not wasting time second-guessing the results. We’re seeing adoption from associates to partners across every practice area. When it spreads that quickly, the experience just works.”

Andrew Medeiros, Managing Director of Innovation, Troutman Pepper Locke LLP

It Was Built for You Too

CoCounsel Legal has always been exceptional at litigation and legal research. What surprised beta customers was how much more it has to offer.

Transactional attorneys found it opening lines of work they had assumed were out of reach. A specialist in employee benefits told us the result was exactly what they had hoped AI could do for their practice, and that it could save them months of work. One beta user told us they asked CoCounsel Legal to redline and it did a better job than anything else on the market. The breadth is real, and it is one of the strongest signals to come out of the beta: the people most surprised by the product were often the ones who thought it was not built for them.

“I would argue I can’t do 20% of my job in a way that I feel is responsible for the company without the next-gen CoCounsel Legal.”

– Mike Schultz, Senior Securities and Corporate Counsel, FMC

There is More to Come

The early access experience is the beginning. We鈥檒l continue rolling out more of the capabilities our beta customers told us they want:

• Workspaces give lawyers a dedicated environment for every matter, where their documents, precedents, and prior positions shape the analysis from the start. Context does not get lost between sessions, between colleagues, or between matters. The institutional knowledge that took years to build is available in the workflow right when the user needs it. Workspaces is live today and will get even better in the coming months.
• Brief Builder is an agentic drafting tool for complex briefs and motions, grounded in verified Westlaw and Practical Law authority, with citation checking and issue spotting built into the process and the attorney in control at every step.
• Firm and organizational intelligence, built in, is a skill-authoring layer that lets lawyers encode their expertise and knowledge directly into CoCounsel Legal. That expertise is then applied consistently across every matter and every lawyer on the team. Work that used to live in one person’s head becomes something the whole firm can draw on.

Each of these came directly from what legal professionals told us they needed. A platform that holds the work together, carries context forward, and meets professional standards throughout.

“CoCounsel Legal is a superior AI tool for litigators鈥攏ot just for legal research and drafting, but can take a first pass at a legal analysis. It even proactively flagged an anti-assignment issue I hadn’t yet asked about鈥攊t anticipated exactly where I was going to prompt it next. It wasn’t making anything up, it was simply surfacing the right extra issue. I’d give the new CoCounsel Legal experience a 10/10.”

Amber Simon, Attorney, Polsinelli

The Standard Stays

The experience is new, but the standard has not changed.

Fiduciary-Grade AI means something specific at 成人VR视频. It means every output is grounded in authoritative, verified content from the very first step of the reasoning, not retrieved afterward to check the answer, but native to how the system thinks. It means every citation is traceable, with linked sources users can click through and read themselves. It means the reasoning process is visible, so the attorney reviewing the work can inspect it rather than simply approve it. And it means confidential data is never used to train third-party models.

The next generation of CoCounsel Legal is the definition of Fiduciary-Grade AI .

Our commitment to being available where lawyers work has also not changed. CoCounsel Legal will connect to Microsoft 365, HighQ, iManage, NetDocuments, SharePoint, Icertis, DeepJudge, Supio, Smokeball and more. Documents move into the workflow without downloading and uploading. And through our new MCP integration with Anthropic, legal professionals working in Claude can now access CoCounsel Legal without switching platforms.

“CoCounsel Legal is vastly ahead of them [legal AI assistant alternatives]. If we’re talking about this new updated version of CoCounsel Legal, I don’t think there’s any other legal tool on the market that’s really close to it.”

– Jerry Johnson, Chief Privacy Officer and Vice President, Teladoc Health

Starting This Week

Every CoCounsel Legal customer in the US will see a toggle in the product this week. They can move to the next generation experience and return to the current version at any time. Both remain fully available throughout the early access period. No work is disrupted and no access is lost. Customers who purchase CoCounsel Legal after this week will have the same experience, with full general availability planned for August 2026.

Lawyers across law firms, government agencies, courts, and legal departments told us the new version of the product was ready. We believe them. We hope you enjoy it. To learn more about the next generation of CoCounsel Legal, visit our .

Now, three 成人VR视频 compliance solutions are now available, natively inside , with no middleware or separate integration project. All three are sold and contracted through Oracle:

• ONESOURCE INDIRECT TAX Determination, for real-time tax calculation at the point of transaction
• ONESOURCE Pagero, for global e-invoicing and CTC compliance
• ONESOURCE Compliance, for indirect tax compliance reporting

The solutions address key workflows where customers face pressure today: real-time tax calculation, mandate-driven invoicing, and related reporting. These capabilities are powered by the broader 成人VR视频 compliance suite, indirect tax, direct tax, e-invoicing, and statutory reporting, used by more than 115,000 corporate customers worldwide. Customers adopting the Oracle-embedded, end-to-end compliance solution connect into that wider system, with a clear path to extend coverage as their compliance footprint grows.

“Compliance does not happen at the edge of the ERP. It happens inside the transaction,” said Camillo Speroni, Head of Partnerships and Alliances at 成人VR视频. “By embedding indirect tax determination, e-invoicing, and compliance reporting natively inside Oracle Cloud ERP, we are giving global enterprises the ability to handle their most complex compliance obligations without leaving the system where the work already happens. The combination of 成人VR视频 compliance depth, sold and activated through Oracle, is something no other partnership in this category offers at this scale.”

What this means for customers
鈥淭ax and e-invoicing requirements continue to evolve across global markets, creating added complexity for enterprises. By making 成人VR视频 indirect tax determination, e-invoicing, and compliance reporting available natively in Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP, we are helping customers manage those requirements within the systems they already run,鈥� Dan Haller, SVP North America Alliances and Strategic Partners.

For global enterprises, the practical effect is simpler operations. Tax determination occurs inside the transaction, e-invoices are generated in the formats required by local mandates, reporting uses the same source data.

For organizations responding to new global mandates, including EU e-invoicing requirements and expanded country-by-country reporting obligations, the embedded approach reduces the need for separate integrations and manual reconciliation.

For the corporate tax, finance, and IT teams, compliance now happens inside Oracle Cloud ERP, where transactions already take place.

The European Union鈥檚 new package of reforms to the听Value-Added听Tax in the Digital Age (ViDA),听is one such example,听representing听both a fundamental compliance change as well as a major technological transformation. July 2030 marks the point when cross-border e-invoicing and digital reporting must be working at scale across all EU member states. However, the pressure on businesses is already here. Many member states have begun introducing e-invoicing mandates, creating a patchwork of national requirements that are different from one another yet all moving towards the same end goal.

For multinational companies, this creates a growing coordination problem. Finance and tax teams must reconcile data from multiple internal systems, interpret rules that vary significantly by country, and meet filing deadlines that听don’t听leave much room for error. A mistake听doesn’t听just mean rework,听it can mean audits, penalties, and reputational risk.

Until recently, most teams have managed this through a combination of spreadsheets, manual processes, and hard-won institutional knowledge. That approach is reaching its limits, and the time cost is real. For many finance and tax teams, indirect tax compliance consumes weeks of resource every period, gathering data, chasing exceptions, and reconciling figures across systems under the pressure of immovable deadlines.

The compliance landscape is also changing shape. Real-time reporting through e-invoicing and periodic indirect tax compliance are no longer separate workflows. With agentic AI, they converge bringing together e-invoicing, reconciliations, and compliance preparation into a single, integrated automated workflow, closing the gap that has long been a source of risk and rework.

Where AI fits in

The promise of AI in compliance听isn’t听to replace human judgment,听it’s听to remove the volume of repetitive, low-value work that currently consumes most of the time. Pulling data from different systems, checking for inconsistencies, flagging mismatches before they become filing errors: these are tasks that听don’t听require听expertise听to execute, but consume the time of people who have it. The shorthand for what that looks like in practice is鈥痶ouchless compliance,听a process that moves听largely on听its own, with human attention focused on review and exceptions rather than data wrangling.听That capability is powered by CoCounsel, 成人VR视频 AI technology that has already surpassed one million professionals听worldwide, and听now brought to the complexity of global indirect tax compliance.

ONESOURCE Indirect Compliance powered by CoCounsel is built around that idea听and is听generally available听starting July 3.听It听can import听data听from any company’s financial system,听transactional听records, and where available, drafts provided by tax authorities themselves. It also听works to听identify听and resolve issues before deadlines arrive. Rather than a scramble at period-end, the goal is a steady, auditable process that reaches a review-ready state with time to spare.

鈥淕etting new countries on board could take weeks, sometimes months. Having ONESOURCE Indirect Compliance powered by CoCounsel will help us identify changes to mappings, guide us through configuration, and streamline the whole process. These changes will genuinely be transformative for a global operation like ours.鈥澨�

鈥� Kevin Escott,听Executive Director, Corporate Functions Technology, JLL

Trust is the harder problem

Automating compliance is technically achievable. The harder challenge is making automation that practitioners actually trust, especially when their name is on the filing. ONESOURCE Indirect Compliance powered by CoCounsel is built to meet that standard because it incorporates Fiduciary-Grade AI, where its听outputs are transparent, verifiable, and defensible in high-stakes environments.听Touchless compliance is only valuable if the trail it leaves behind is听one听you’d听be comfortable defending.

What comes next

Digital tax reporting requirements are still in its early stages globally. The countries that have moved fastest (for example: Brazil, Poland, and France) are being watched closely by others. More government mandates are coming, and the window for manual workarounds is narrowing.

The organizations best positioned for听what’s听ahead are the ones building structured, auditable compliance processes now听鈥撎齜efore the next wave of requirements lands.

Capabilities Rooted in Your Own Knowledge and Workflows

Import Your Complex Playbook into CoCounsel for Microsoft Word听

A firm鈥檚 playbook already exists, often spanning hundreds of pages developed over months of work. Now, U.S. customers no longer need to rebuild it from the ground up. Instead of recreating a听playbook clause by听clause through manual copy and paste, firms can import their existing playbook directly into CoCounsel for Microsoft Word.听

By uploading their document, CoCounsel intelligently reads and structures the content鈥攑reserving preferred clauses, negotiation guidance, escalation pathways, scenario guidance, fallback clauses, and tabular content as-is. The result is the elimination of manual, error-prone work, allowing the firm鈥檚 institutional knowledge to be operational in minutes.

Built for How You Work听

DeepJudge Search Integration听

Joint听DeepJudge听and CoCounsel Legal subscribers can now bring their firm’s full intelligence layer into the same workflow as CoCounsel Legal’s research, drafting, and analysis tools. Whether an attorney is on the CoCounsel website, in Westlaw, or in Practical Law, they can open听DeepJudge’s听native search inside the CoCounsel chat, locate the most relevant firm documents, and bring them straight into their workflow 鈥� while existing user permissions and ethical walls carry through unchanged. The result is less context switching, faster time to first draft, and higher-confidence outputs grounded in proven firm work product.

Concise Answers on Westlaw Advantage and Practical Law (UK)听

Deep Research on Westlaw Advantage UK and Practical Law听Premium听UK will now have options for both concise and expanded responses. Concise answers give legal professionals more control over the depth of research they wish to conduct, opting for a shorter, more synthesized response when a quick answer is听what’s听needed. Expanded answers continue to deliver in-depth research reports for complex, multi-step questions. Users can choose the level of detail that fits the task and move forward with confidence, faster.

Administrative Enhancements: Bulk Edit User Permissions and Side Navigation Redesign听

System administrators can now select all users in the organization and apply permission changes in a single bulk edit action, instead of selecting users page by page. If a bulk update is not fully successful, the admin is notified of how many user updates failed. This reduces the manual effort听required听to manage permissions, helping admins roll out, adjust, or restrict access to CoCounsel capabilities more efficiently 鈥� especially in larger organizations. Alongside this, the CoCounsel Legal side navigation bar has been redesigned so core features remain front and center, while secondary options 鈥� including Region Settings, Admin, Support, and Plugins 鈥� are now organized under the account menu, making the most-used features even easier to find.
