Thomson Reuters partners with CUBE to power CoCounsel Legal platform

CUBE has announced that its expert-checked global regulatory intelligence will power Thomson Reuters' CoCounsel Legal platform.

The integration will enable customers to access laws, rules, regulations and regulatory developments alongside Thomson Reuters' Westlaw, Practical Law and Reuters content, with coverage spanning more than 150 countries.

According to the company, CoCounsel Legal's AI agents will connect with CUBE's regulatory AI agents to help legal professionals obtain responses to regulatory queries without needing to ingest, structure or maintain the underlying regulatory data.

Ben Richmond, founder and chief executive of CUBE, said: "Our ambition is simple: to be the regulatory data infrastructure the world can trust, and to power the products, AI tools and workflows that enterprises rely on to deliver smarter and better-informed outcomes.

"We believe that delivering regulatory intelligence, at the point of need, is the future of our industry. With CoCounsel Legal, our Powered By AI agents bring expert-checked regulatory intelligence into the tools that legal professionals already use, helping them build a more complete picture of the rules and guidance relevant to their questions."

CUBE said a benchmark run found Powered By identified three to four times more essential regulation than other leading AI models. For regulatory guidance, codes and supervisory material, the company said the gap increased to between six and 17 times, depending on the model.

The company added that Thomson Reuters subject matter experts evaluated its regulatory intelligence and found that, alongside Westlaw and Practical Law, the content provided CoCounsel Legal customers with a broader picture of rules, guidance and regulatory developments.

Rawia Ashraf, co-head of product at Thomson Reuters Legal, said: "Legal professionals working across borders need to understand not just the law, but the full regulatory landscape that shapes how that law applies in practice.

"Bringing CUBE's expert-checked regulatory intelligence into CoCounsel Legal extends our already extensive global content reach, giving our customers an even richer and more complete picture of the rules, guidance and regulatory developments relevant to their work. Global coverage and quality were both non-negotiable for us, and CUBE met both."

Built over 15 years, CUBE's regulatory intelligence covers more than 12,000 issuing bodies across 750 jurisdictions. The company said the platform is supported by a team of 250 subject matter experts and is used by 24 of the world's 29 Global Systemically Important Banks, as well as other regulated institutions.

Through its Powered By offering, CUBE makes its regulatory intelligence available to AI platforms, information providers and technology companies for integration into products and services. The company said the CoCounsel Legal integration will make the intelligence available to up to one million legal professionals.
