What Thomson Reuters does

Thomson Reuters is a publicly traded (NYSE/TSX: TRI), Canada-domiciled content and technology company serving legal, tax and accounting, global trade, and regulatory compliance professionals. The company is organized around three product pillars: Legal (Westlaw, Practical Law, HighQ, Contract Express, Legal Tracker, and the CoCounsel generative-AI assistant), Tax & Accounting (the ONESOURCE family covering indirect tax determination, tax provision, statutory reporting, e-invoicing/Pagero, and Pillar Two global minimum tax), and Global Trade Management (ONESOURCE Global Trade Content, Denied Party Screening, Global Classification, Free Trade Agreement analysis, and Export/Import Management). These are unified under ONESOURCE+, an AI-enabled compliance network.

Underlying the product suite is a content-and-data foundation built over more than 150 years, including Westlaw case law and legislation, Practical Law content authored by 700+ lawyer writers, and global trade content maintained by 200+ analysts covering 220+ countries and 500+ trade agreements with 100M+ annual regulatory updates. The technical platform integrates certified connectors into SAP, Oracle, and Workday, and exposes APIs processing volumes such as 10 million ONESOURCE Determination transactions per hour at 40ms response times. CoCounsel 2.0 (released 2025) brings generative-AI capabilities to legal research, document review, contract analysis, and drafting, and integrates with Microsoft 365 and document management systems. The platform holds ISO 42001 certification for responsible AI and SOC 1/SOC 2 Type 2 attestations on key tax workflows.

The business model is enterprise subscription software sold via direct field sales and inside-sales motions, with annual contracts, quote-based pricing, and supplemental professional services for implementation and advisory. Customer segments span law firms of every size, in-house corporate legal departments, tax and accounting functions, customs brokers, manufacturers, government agencies, and academia across North America, EMEA, APAC (including a regional headquarters in Mumbai), the Middle East, and Southeast Asia. Go-to-market is consultative, with solution specialists routing leads by organization size and vertical, and distribution is augmented by embedded OEM partnerships with the major ERP vendors.
