Thomson Reuters has joined NetDocuments' ndConnect interoperability program, enabling shared customers to integrate CoCounsel Legal's AI capabilities with NetDocuments' platform. The partnership was announced November 4, 2025, at Inspire EMEA in London, allowing legal professionals to access research, document analysis, and drafting tools while maintaining security and governance within their existing document management system.
The integration addresses the challenge legal professionals face when adopting AI tools that may compromise data security or create workflow disruptions. By connecting CoCounsel Legal directly to NetDocuments, attorneys can use advanced AI without moving documents outside their secure environment.
ndConnect Program
ndConnect is NetDocuments' interoperability program that allows legal professionals to integrate AI solutions into their NetDocuments environment. The program supports over 7,000 organizations globally and maintains security and governance standards across all integrations.
Users can share content from NetDocuments to approved AI tools and save AI-generated output back into workspaces automatically. The system eliminates external file handling and keeps all work within the document management platform.
Integrated Workflow
The integration connects CoCounsel Legal's AI capabilities to attorneys' existing document workflows. Legal professionals can conduct research with Westlaw and Practical Law, draft documents using internal content and Thomson Reuters materials, and analyze documents with review capabilities. All work maintains document integrity and metadata within NetDocuments.
"We strive to empower legal professionals around the world to work smarter, faster, and with greater confidence," said Rawia Ashraf, head of Product, CoCounsel Transactional, Thomson Reuters. "Through our collaboration with NetDocuments, we are enabling legal professionals to seamlessly bring our trusted, authoritative content together with their proprietary work product to serve their clients at an even higher level."
Security Standards
The partnership maintains NetDocuments' security framework that governs document-level access and organizational policies. Each integration respects user identity and maintains auditability across all AI interactions.
"Legal professionals shouldn't have to choose between innovation and information security," said Dan Hauck, Chief Product Officer at NetDocuments. "Through ndConnect, we're creating a bridge that allows firms to use advanced AI solutions like CoCounsel Legal without losing the protection, auditability, or structure that NetDocuments provides."
NetDocuments integrates with 150+ technologies and provides tools for AI, search, collaboration, automation, and security across its platform.
