iManage and Thomson Reuters today announced an expanded strategic partnership connecting Thomson Reuters AI, authoritative legal content and workflow solutions with governed organizational knowledge in the iManage platform. The expanded integration brings CoCounsel Legal, HighQ, Noetica and Legal Tracker together with governed iManage knowledge to support connected AI-powered legal work.
The companies are also delivering Model Context Protocol support, enabling approved Thomson Reuters AI tools to reason from governed iManage content while preserving access controls, ethical walls and privilege boundaries.
The quality of AI-assisted work depends on the context those tools can reason over. The partnership is designed to give legal professionals context specific to client, matter and work at hand while keeping organizational knowledge governed in iManage rather than creating separate repositories or parallel governance regimes.
"Ask any lawyer what slows them down and they will tell you the same thing: the work lives in too many places. This renewed partnership changes that across more of the places where legal work actually happens," said Rawia Ashraf, Co-Head of CoCounsel Legal. "The integration is deeper than ever with documents from iManage flowing directly into the workflow, work product flowing back automatically, and the connection staying current as matters evolve."
Key capabilities include CoCounsel Legal and side-by-side drafting assistance; MCP-enabled access to governed matter content preserving organizational controls; connected transactional workflows through HighQ, Contract Express and Noetica; connected matter intelligence between Legal Tracker and iManage Work; and knowledge that stays connected as work moves with documents flowing into Thomson Reuters workflows and completed work returning to iManage.
"Legal work depends on bringing the right sources of knowledge together in the right context," said Ryan Begin, Vice President, Technology Partnerships and Ecosystem Strategy at iManage. "Through this partnership, Thomson Reuters' authoritative legal content, AI and workflow capabilities can work alongside the governed knowledge managed in iManage."
This collaboration reflects a shared commitment to an open, governed approach to legal AI.
