Meet CoCounsel Legal UK: An integrated AI platform for end-to-end legal work

Highlights

  • CoCounsel Legal UK streamlines legal workflows by integrating advanced AI with trusted Practical Law UK and Westlaw UK content.
  • Seamless Microsoft 365, DMS, and HighQ integrations enable lawyers to work faster without disrupting existing processes.
  • Comprehensive capabilities support research, drafting, document analysis, and collaboration for transactional, litigation, and advisory work.

Legal professionals in the UK are facing mounting pressures that traditional ways of working can’t resolve. Clients increasingly expect faster turnaround, predictable pricing, and demonstrable value, while matters grow more complex. At the same time, lawyers are spending disproportionate hours on document review, legal research, disclosure preparation, and drafting, leaving less capacity for the strategic advice and risk judgement that clients actually pay for. These pressures are amplified by a fragmented legal-tech landscape. Lawyers are forced to switch between disconnected systems for matter management, research, drafting and contract review—creating friction, duplicating effort, and increasing the risk of inconsistency. When every minute counts, workflow disruption becomes a hidden cost that affects delivery, profitability, and client experience.

CoCounsel Legal UK transforms this reality. Built for UK legal professionals who must protect quality while accelerating delivery, it helps you move faster on high-volume, time-intensive work—without compromising the judgement, accuracy, and professional standards your clients expect. CoCounsel Legal UK reduces time spent on repetitive tasks so teams can focus more on strategy, risk, and client outcomes.

CoCounsel Legal UK isn’t just another AI tool. It’s the only solution that seamlessly combines advanced AI with Practical Law UK guidance and authoritative Westlaw UK content. This unified experience enhances legal research, drafting, and document review, empowering professionals to expedite their processes, minimise routine tasks, and dedicate more time to strategic thinking, analysis, and client engagement.

Built for how you actually work

One of the most frustrating aspects of adopting new technology is having to change your entire workflow. CoCounsel Legal UK eliminates this problem by integrating directly into the tools you use every day:

  • Microsoft 365 integration: leverage CoCounsel capabilities in Word, Outlook and Teams.
  • Document management system compatibility: Seamless integration with your existing DMS, enabling you to apply CoCounsel’s capabilities directly to your own files.
  • HighQ integration: embed AI directly into your collaborative workflows

This means you can harness the power of AI without disrupting the systems and processes that already work for your practice.

The trust factor

Unlike generic AI tools that can produce uneven or untraceable answers, CoCounsel Legal UK grounds its outputs in authoritative, verifiable sources and provides clear citations. That means you can quickly review the underlying materials, validate the reasoning, and use the work product with confidence—internally or with clients. And because the legal content is maintained by a global team of 1,500+ lawyer editors, you’re drawing on a knowledge base built for professional use, not consumer chat.

Deep Research

Deep Research revolutionises your research processes with agentic AI powered by Westlaw UK authority and Practical Law UK guidance. CoCounsel Legal UK delivers complete analysis with transparent execution and verifiable results, moving legal professionals seamlessly from initial research through to strategic implementation. Every query leverages the authoritative legal content of Westlaw and the practical insights of Practical Law to give a comprehensive answer.

Enhanced Drafting

Produce high-quality first drafts of complex transaction documents and litigation materials directly within Microsoft Word. CoCounsel Legal UK helps you quickly identify the best starting point, detect changes efficiently, and finalise documents.

Tabular analysis

Reduce the amount of time it takes to review documents with tabular analysis. You can quickly analyse thousands of documents, identifying relevant material and extracting key information with precision. Streamline processes for due diligence, disclosure, compliance reviews, and more by identifying risks across multiple issues and maintaining direct links to source documents.

Library

Work faster and with greater confidence with a library of curated prompts for a wide range of legal tasks, helping you save time, enhancing your productivity, and ensuring consistent best practices.

HighQ integration

Achieve excellence in legal service delivery with CoCounsel Legal UK and HighQ integrations. Empower your teams with collaborative tools, programmable workflows, and secure, permissions‑based matter management at scale.

Deliver high‑quality document review using Document Insights, with key findings surfaced, easy to use, and enhanced through collaboration in powerful iSheets.
