In a February 2025 interview with Ad Age, Carrel described the company's new brand promise as "clarifying the complex" for legal, tax, risk, and compliance professionals. He stated that the company's proprietary content, developed over more than 100 years, is a key differentiator and that its AI is built on that content.
