The classic version of CoCounsel Legal now has an Otto Schmidt Legal Data Hub connector that brings more than 120 modules of expert written German law commentary into its international research workflow. Customers who also subscribe to Otto Schmidt do not need to select it, because research pulls the commentary in alongside Westlaw and Practical Law content, with citations. Thomson Reuters plans to add the connection to the rebuilt agentic CoCounsel Legal in early 2027.
Buyer relevance. Firms with German matters get commentary from a recognized German publisher inside the same research run instead of a second login. The connection sits in the classic product for now, so firms moving to the new CoCounsel should plan around the 2027 date.
