The GPT-4-class legal assistant built for law firms, with cited research and privilege-aware workflows.
CoCounsel (formerly Casetext's CARA) is Thomson Reuters' agentic legal assistant. It runs documented workflows — legal research, witness prep, contract review, deposition digests — and returns answers with footnotes to real case law. Unlike consumer chatbots, it is built for the accuracy and privilege standards firms require.
Who it's for: Lawyers, paralegals, and compliance teams at firms and in-house legal departments who need defensible, cited output.
Returns authorities with pinpoint citations and a verification pass to reduce hallucinations.
Flags obligations, deviations, and risky clauses across hundreds of pages in minutes.
Summarizes testimony and surfaces inconsistencies across depositions and exhibits.
SOC 2 / enterprise controls; data is not used to train shared models.
For any firm billing by the hour, CoCounsel pays for itself the first time it compresses a 6-hour research memo into 30 minutes. The citation layer is what separates it from generic LLMs.
