Thomson Reuters announced the Multinational Profile for CoCounsel Legal on October 14, 2026. It puts legal content from more than 100 countries and territories into one CoCounsel workflow. The company says it began rolling out to customers in the U.S., Europe, UK, Canada and Australia in October. Thomson Reuters press release
What Thomson Reuters announced
Per the release, a team can research legal and compliance requirements across countries, compare key differences between them, flag questions that may need local advice, and trace each finding back to its source. The content comes from Thomson Reuters legal content and vetted official legal and regulatory sources. The Multinational Profile sits inside the next generation of CoCounsel Legal, which Thomson Reuters describes as built on Westlaw and Practical Law content.
The same release lists the other parts of that platform: research, Workspaces, Tabular Analysis, and integrations with document management and productivity tools. Integrations vary by country.
Where it is available
The company gives three different availability statements, and they are easy to blur.
Multinational Profile: rolling out to customers in the U.S., Europe, UK, Canada and Australia during October 2026.
Next-generation CoCounsel Legal: available now in the UK. General availability is expected by the end of October in Australia, Brazil, Canada, Singapore and the UAE.
Upgraded platform: planned for customers in more than 90 countries and territories through 2026.
Thomson Reuters also states that not every capability is available in every geography. Ask which features your own jurisdictions get on your own contract date. The announcement does not give a price. See where CoCounsel and Westlaw stand in the legal AI pricing table.
What this does and does not change
Cross-border questions are slow for a good reason: each answer depends on a local law, its current text and who can advise on it. A tool that gathers and compares sources shortens the first pass. The release itself frames the output as a way to find where "deeper review or local counsel" is needed, not a substitute for them.
These are vendor claims. Thomson Reuters quotes a customer from its beta program, not an independent evaluation, and AI Vortex has not tested the Multinational Profile.
Questions to ask before a cross-border trial
Which of our jurisdictions does the profile cover today, and in which languages is the underlying law?
How does each answer show the source, its date and whether the text is official or secondary?
Who at our firm confirms a conclusion with local counsel before it reaches a client?
What do we pay for the cross-border capability, and does it require the full CoCounsel Legal upgrade?
Run the trial on a question you already know the answer to in two jurisdictions. Score how the tool sources it, not how confident it sounds. The pilot scorecard gives a place to record it, and the multi-jurisdiction vendor checklist covers the concentration risk of putting every country on one platform.
