What they did
The firm tried ChatGPT when it appeared and judged it unsuitable for legal work. It adopted Thomson Reuters CoCounsel Core, a generative AI assistant built for lawyers, to search its own precedents and policies, read collective agreements of 50 pages or more for specific wording, and produce first drafts of client communications that the lawyer finishes.
Why it matters to a business like yours
Clients paying by the hour notice when the same advice arrives in 10 to 15 minutes rather than an hour or more. For a six-lawyer firm competing with national firms, the search across its own precedents matters as much as the drafting: the answer is usually in a document the firm already has.
Relevant if
Your lawyers draft the same kinds of letters and advice each week, and search long documents by hand.
“From a client's point of view, CoCounsel Core is a real time and money saver.”
