Bombay Durpun - Thomson Reuters Integrates CUBE Regulatory Intelligence into CoCounsel Legal

Thomson Reuters has announced a strategic partnership with CUBE to integrate the latter’s expert-checked global regulatory intelligence into its CoCounsel Legal platform. The integration allows legal professionals to access laws, rules, and regulations across more than 150 countries directly within Thomson Reuters’ existing ecosystem, including Westlaw and Practical Law.

The collaboration connects CoCounsel Legal’s artificial intelligence agents with CUBE’s regulatory AI agents. According to the companies, this infrastructure enables legal professionals to obtain responses to regulatory queries without needing to ingest, structure, or maintain the underlying regulatory data themselves.

Ben Richmond, founder and chief executive of CUBE, stated that the company aims to serve as trusted regulatory data infrastructure for enterprises. He emphasized that delivering regulatory intelligence at the point of need represents the future of the industry. By integrating with CoCounsel Legal, CUBE’s AI agents bring expert-checked data into tools that legal professionals already use, helping them build a more complete picture of relevant rules and guidance.

CUBE cited a benchmark run in which its "Powered By" technology identified three to four times more essential regulation than other leading AI models. For regulatory guidance, codes, and supervisory material, the company reported that the gap increased to between six and 17 times, depending on the specific model tested.

Thomson Reuters subject matter experts evaluated CUBE’s regulatory intelligence alongside its own Westlaw and Practical Law content. The evaluation found that the combined 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, noted that legal professionals working across borders must understand not just the law but the full regulatory landscape that shapes its practical application. She stated that bringing CUBE’s intelligence into CoCounsel Legal extends the company’s global content reach, offering customers a richer and more complete view of relevant regulations. Ashraf added that global coverage and quality were non-negotiable requirements for the partnership, which CUBE met.

Built over 15 years, CUBE’s regulatory intelligence covers more than 12,000 issuing bodies across 750 jurisdictions. The platform is supported by a team of 250 subject matter experts and is currently 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 various products. The company indicated that the CoCounsel Legal integration will make this intelligence accessible to up to one million legal professionals.
