CoCounsel Legal

What it does

CoCounsel Legal takes plain-language descriptions of a legal matter, such as a contract review, litigation strategy, or circuit split analysis, and produces a step-by-step plan with visible reasoning. It draws on Westlaw content, Practical Law guidance covering over 100 jurisdictions, and an organization's own documents, then delivers drafts with linked citations for verification.

Lawyers use it for research, analysis, and drafting from a single query rather than switching between tools. Distinct features include Workspaces for keeping documents and matter history together, Westlaw Brief Builder for litigation briefs in which the attorney reviews facts and validates citations, and Tabular Analysis, which reviews up to 10,000 documents against 100 questions in a filterable table.

CoCounsel Legal suits attorneys and legal teams working across research, document review and drafting. Its plans combine different levels of Westlaw, Practical Law and CoCounsel access, so the selected content package matters. The pricing configurator asks for sector, attorney count, jurisdiction and contract duration; one-, two- and three-year terms are offered, and online terms apply to new customers. Attorneys should verify sources, generated drafts and their firm’s permissions before using confidential matter documents.
