How Quillio compares to Thomson Reuters products
Quillio and Thomson Reuters products are complementary rather than direct replacements. Thomson Reuters products — Practical Law, Westlaw, Lexis — give you verified content and classic legal research databases. Quillio is a working AI assistant that reads your matter files, drafts in your voice, and runs specific workflows on specific matters. Many firms use both.
What Thomson Reuters does that Quillio does not
Practical Law and Westlaw give you verified, regularly updated secondary content — how-to guides, standard clauses, case summaries, commentary. This content is written by editorial teams of lawyers and is authoritative. Quillio does not currently write commentary of that kind — we are focused on working on your matters, not on writing a legal encyclopedia.
What Quillio does that Thomson Reuters products do not
Quillio reads your matter documents, drafts bespoke outputs in your firm's voice, and runs workflows specific to your matter (Section 32 review, brief chronology, TPD claim assessment). Thomson Reuters' AI offerings (CoCounsel) do some of this but typically work within the TR ecosystem rather than with your matter files and your PMS.
Using both together
Firms typically keep their Thomson Reuters subscriptions for research and commentary, and use Quillio for matter work. I can cite Practical Law or Westlaw content you point me at, but I do not reproduce copyrighted content or bypass subscriptions.
Common issues
- Quillio is not a substitute for a legal research database — I do not have commentary content
- Thomson Reuters CoCounsel is the closest TR product to Quillio — different strengths, same general space
- Firms using both tools should define when each is used — research and commentary go to TR, matter work goes to Quillio
