Ragunath Ramanathan, President of Legal Professionals and Government at Thomson Reuters, hosted the company's first LinkedIn Live event on June 22, 2026, to discuss the company's AI offerings for legal professionals. During the event, Ramanathan introduced the next generation of CoCounsel, which he described as "the world's first fiduciary grade AI for legal professionals." He stated that the product performs "at the level of a senior associate with deep comprehension, sound judgment, specialized expertise, and work you can verify and you can trust." Ramanathan argued that the central question for professionals is no longer whether AI can generate an answer, but "whether professionals can verify it and stand behind it." He said the gap between what professionals need and what AI delivers "has never been wider," and that the critical issue is "not just about convenience, efficiency, and time saved" but about accountability. Thomson Reuters, he said, is building AI that supports professional judgment and ensures accountability remains human.
