CoCounsel Legal
Legal AI Assistant + Contract Review software for Law firms (Am Law 100 to solo practitioners) + Corporate legal.
Our verdict
CoCounsel Legal is Thomson Reuters' AI-powered legal assistant designed for law firms and corporate legal departments. At $225 per user per month, it's built for lawyers billing by the hour, not businesses managing their own contracts. The platform excels at legal research and contract review for professional legal work, but the per-user pricing model makes it prohibitively expensive for business teams. A 10-person team would pay $27,000 annually just for contract tools, when most businesses need straightforward contract management, not legal research databases. The law firm focus means features like client billing, matter management, and legal research integration that businesses don't need drive up costs.
