Legal professionals in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) told us they want AI that fits how they work: a teammate that plans, researches, and drafts, with every answer traceable to authority they trust. The next generation of CoCounsel Legal delivers that, backed by Westlaw, Practical Law, and our extensive understanding of how local legal practice works across the region.
From 15 October 2026, legal professionals in the UAE will have access to the next generation of CoCounsel Legal through the UK version. Professionals can work in the fully agentic experience of the next generation of CoCounsel Legal, grounded in the trusted authority of Westlaw UK and Practical Law Global, and built around how legal work actually happens. You describe the matter. The next generation of CoCounsel Legal plans the work, researches the authority, and drafts with citations.
Built around how legal work gets done
Earlier AI tools asked you to choose a skill, define a workflow, or write a detailed prompt, then returned work task by task. The next generation of CoCounsel Legal works the way you work, rather than requiring you to adapt to the way AI works.
Describe your matter in plain language. CoCounsel Legal interprets the request, develops a tailored approach, researches the authority in Westlaw and Practical Law, and draws on your own documents and playbooks. It drafts with citations. When new information changes the picture, it adapts. You get a response at a professional standard that you can review, question, and refine.
What you can do with CoCounsel Legal in the UAE
Several new capabilities shape the experience. Each one is grounded in content you already trust.
- Market-Leading Research: Combines advanced AI with trusted Westlaw and Practical Law content to produce comprehensive legal research reports that surface key authorities, relevant precedents, and actionable insights.
- Workspaces: Create matter-specific workspaces that bring together firm documents, legal department materials, precedents, and institutional knowledge. Context is preserved across tasks and matters to support more informed analysis.
- Tabular Analysis: Enables lawyers to bulk review documents and ask questions simultaneously. Results are delivered in a dynamic, filterable table with supporting references linked to source materials for validation.
- Integrations with the tools lawyers use every day: CoCounsel Legal connects with document management systems and productivity tools including Microsoft 365, HighQ®, Google Drive, DocuSign and Dropbox, helping professionals access relevant information where work already takes place.
A higher standard of legal AI
The experience is new. The high standard is the one you expect from Thomson Reuters.
Fiduciary-Grade AI™ means every output is grounded in and linked to authoritative, domain-specific content that professionals can review and verify. The sources upon which responses are based are transparent, so you can inspect the work rather than simply approve it and, most importantly, your confidential data remains yours.
