For the past two years, the AI conversation has been dominated by general-purpose models and horizontal tools. Everyone assumed that whoever builds the smartest LLM wins.
But professional workÌýdoesn’tÌýwork that way.
When a lawyer needs to draft a court-ready brief, when a tax professional needs to navigate multi-jurisdictional compliance, when an auditor needs to assess risk across thousands of transactions—theyÌýdon’tÌýneed the cleverest chatbot. They need AI that understands their work, their standards, and their accountability.
That’sÌýwhatÌýwe’veÌýbuilt. And the market is responding.
One million professionals have chosen CoCounsel. Not for pilots. Not for experiments. As core infrastructure for how they work. We serve leading enterprises across legal, risk, compliance, tax, accounting, audit and global trade in 107 countries and territories.
While competitors areÌýshowcasingÌýdemos,Ìýwe’reÌýdelivering deployments. While startups are raising capital,Ìýwe’reÌýgenerating revenue. While others are figuring out trust,Ìýwe’veÌýalready earned it.
The Four Pillars of Professional AI—And Why We Lead
³ÉÈËVRÊÓÆµ has been building technology and using AI for decades. But whatÌýwe’veÌýdone with generative AI over the past two years puts us in a category of our own.
Professional-grade AIÌýrequiresÌýfour essential components working together. ³ÉÈËVRÊÓÆµ has all fourÌýat scale:
We haveÌýthe technology. We work with every leading AI lab—Anthropic, OpenAI, Microsoft, AWS, Google—andÌýwe’reÌýdeveloping our own AI model built specifically for professional work.ÌýWe’reÌýnot dependent on a single vendor or locked into one approach. We can use the best technology for each specific workflow.
We have the content.ÌýDecades of curated, authoritative professional content thatÌýcan’tÌýbe replicated. Not web-scraped data—the actualÌýsourcesÌýprofessionals stake their reputations on.
We haveÌýtheÌýexpertise. 4,500+ domain experts who understand what “good” looks like in legal, tax, and compliance work. They define quality standards,ÌývalidateÌýoutputs, and ensure our AI meets professional requirements.
We haveÌýthe tools. CoCounsel integrates directly into the professional workflows and platforms our customers already use—from WestlawÌýandÌýCheckpointÌýto Microsoft 365.ÌýOur AI doesn’t sit outsideÌýtheÌýwork; it becomes part ofÌýtheÌýwork.
These four components working together let us build AI capabilities that others simplyÌýcan’t.
Westlaw Deep ResearchÌýon CoCounsel LegalÌýcan analyze thousands of documents and synthesize complex legal findings because we combine frontier AI models with our authoritative content library and domainÌýexpertiseÌýto ensure accuracy. Ready to ReviewÌýon CoCounsel Tax and AuditÌýcan prepare complete 1040 tax returns—not suggestions or drafts, but finished, filed returns that meet IRS standards—because our tools integrate directly into professional workflows with the quality standards our experts define.
Having one or two of these components means you can build demos. Having all four means you can build products professionals trust with their reputations.
We Have Advantages That Accelerate Our Lead
HavingÌýthe fourÌýessential pillars is necessary. But twoÌýadditionalÌýadvantages strengthen our position:
We haveÌýtheÌýscale. One million professionals using our AI in productionÌýteachesÌýus things competitorsÌýcan’tÌýlearn from pilots. Every edge case becomes common. Every rare failure happens daily. That feedback loop makes our AIÌýbetter,Ìýfaster.
We have the capital. ³ÉÈËVRÊÓÆµ invests more than $200 million annually in productized AI andÌýhasÌý11 billion dollarsÌýin capital capacity through 2028 to fund continued innovation and selective acquisitions.
But having all four pillars plus scale and capital only matters if professionalsÌýactually trustÌýyour AI with their work. And trust at this level—where reputations, client relationships, and regulatory compliance are on the line—requires a different approach than consumer AI.
TrustÌýand Capability:ÌýOur Competitive Advantage
Here’sÌýwhat weÌýlearnedÌýbuilding AI at scale: in professional work, you need both trust and breakthrough capability. One without the otherÌýisn’tÌýenough.
Consumer AIÌýoptimizes forÌýimpressive demos. Professional AI must deliver results you can stake your career on,ÌýwhileÌýactually transformingÌýhow work gets done.
Two years ago, we launched AI Assisted Research,Ìýthe first generative AI feature in Westlaw. We had a vision of what “good” looked like, butÌýdeploying toÌýreal legalÌýprofessionals taught us that defining quality in AI is iterative, not one-time.
Those early months were challenging. Every conversation with customers, every piece of feedback, every deployment taught us something new about where the bar needed to be. We learned that professionals expect both the precisionÌýthey’veÌýalways relied on from ³ÉÈËVRÊÓÆµ and theÌýtransformational capabilityÌýthey’reÌýexperiencing with generativeÌýAI.
We built for both. And we used what we learned to build something even better.
Every piece of feedback from AI Assisted Research informed how we developed Westlaw Deep Research—now the world’s leading AI legal research capability. Deep ResearchÌýdoesn’tÌýjust answer legal questions; it analyzes thousands of documents, synthesizes complex findings acrossÌýjurisdictions, and delivers court-ready analysis with the citations and reasoning professionals require.ÌýIt’sÌýwhat happens when you combine frontier AI technology with authoritative content, domainÌýexpertise, and real-world learning from a million professionals.
That same approach drives everything we build. CoCounsel delivers capabilities no one else can matchÌý–Ìýthe most advanced legal research system in the world, and the first AI that can prepare a complete 1040 tax return. Not suggestions orÌýdrafts, butÌýfinished work that meets professional standards.Ìý
TheseÌýaren’tÌýincremental improvements.ÌýThey’reÌýcapabilities that fundamentally changeÌýwhat’sÌýpossible in professional work.
And we deliver them with the trust professionals require:Ìý
- ÌýAccuracy you can stake your reputation onÌý– because we verify outputs against authoritative sourcesÌý
- Transparency you can explain to clients and regulatorsÌý– because we show our reasoning and cite our sourcesÌý
- Security that guarantees your data stays yoursÌý– because we understand professional confidentialityÌýisn’tÌýnegotiableÌý
- Integration with professional workflowsÌý– because AI that sits outside your toolsÌýdoesn’tÌýtransform your workÌý
This is what professional-grade AI means.ÌýBreakthrough capability with professional trust.ÌýAnd this is why one million professionals chose ³ÉÈËVRÊÓÆµ.
We’reÌýAccelerating—And Defining the Future
One million usersÌýprovesÌýwe’reÌýthe leader in professional AI. But leadershipÌýisn’tÌýa milestone—it’sÌýa commitment to staying ahead.
We’reÌýadvancingÌýdevelopmentÌýof our vertically specialized language model designed specifically for legal, tax, and compliance work.ÌýWe’reÌýexpandingÌýCoCounsel’sÌýglobal footprint.ÌýWe’reÌýreleasing new workflow-specific capabilities throughout 2026 that will further separate us from competitors.
BecauseÌýhere’sÌýwhat we know: the real AI raceÌýisn’tÌýabout who builds the smartest general-purpose model.ÌýIt’sÌýabout who can deliver transformational ROI in high-stakes professional environments where trust is non-negotiable.
³ÉÈËVRÊÓÆµ isÌýleadingÌýthat race. We haveÌýthe technology,Ìýexpertise, content, tools, scale, and capital. We have one million professionalsÌýwho’veÌýchosen us as their AI partner. AndÌýwe’reÌýbuilding the best professional AI in the world.
ThisÌýisn’tÌýthe beginning of our AI journey—we’veÌýbeen on it for decades. But it is the moment when the market recognizes whatÌýwe’veÌýbecome: a leading AI technology companyÌýthat’sÌýdefining what professional-grade AI means.
One million professionals are already experiencing that future. AndÌýwe’reÌýjust getting started.
