Thomson Reuters introduced Claims Explorer, a new generative AI skill available in Westlaw Precision with CoCounsel, that enables legal professionals to enter facts and identify applicable claims or counterclaims. Using generative AI to simplify claims research, users enter facts and quickly receive a list of applicable claims.
In testing with attorneys, those who used the new skill found relevant causes of action three times faster than when using traditional research methods. In addition, in reviewing Am Law 50 litigation where claims were added after the initial pleadings, the new skill found 94% of the claims that were missed in the initial pleadings and later added by the firms.
“Finding claims with traditional research methods can be difficult and time consuming,” said Mike Dahn, head of Westlaw Product Management, Thomson Reuters. “Even experienced lawyers can miss applicable claims. Customers have told us about the difficulty of claims research for years, and it’s not just that it can take hours – it’s error prone, which is easy to see in how often reputable firms attempt to add new claims or counterclaims later in litigation, after the initial pleadings. But courts won’t always allow you to add a claim later, and missing the best claims can have significant consequences. It can mean the difference between winning or losing a motion, recovering more in damages or attorney’s fees, or potentially losing a case.”
