In front of a full room of journalists, legal industry analysts and bloggers at LegalTech New York, Thomson Reuters, Legal CEO Peter Warwick introduced WestlawNext, the business’s new legal research system.
“WestlawNext is the most significant innovation in our history in terms of the time and investment, and I hope the timing of that investment isn’t lost on any one here,” Warwick said Monday. “We created an entirely new research experience from the ground up even while we already had the most preferred legal research service in Westlaw.”
Flanked by Andy Martens, senior vice president of New Product Development for Legal, and Mike Dahn, vice president WestlawNext Product Development, Warwick praised the development and design teams that worked for five years with the vision to make legal research more human.
“We created WestlawNext to work the way our customers do… …to be more human,” Warwick said. “To that end, WestlawNext is elegant, agile, easy to use, more precise, truly intelligent and intuitive. But behind the scenes, it has remarkably complex and powerful technology.”
