How Westlaw pricing works
Thomson Reuters prices Westlaw online for new customers at law firms of up to 10 attorneys. Its configurator asks for the number of attorneys, the jurisdiction and the plan length.
Westlaw Edge with AI-Assisted Research starts at $155.35 a month for single circuit coverage and $266.50 a month for all states and federal coverage, both on a three year term. Every plan includes AI-Assisted Research and AI Jurisdictional Surveys. Westlaw Advantage starts at $256.75 a month for single circuit coverage and $399.75 a month for all states and federal coverage, and adds Deep Research, Litigation Document Analyzer, Complaint Analyzer and Claims Explorer.
A single circuit plan covers state and federal primary law for one circuit; the all states plan adds every state, the federal courts and more legislative history.
A two year term takes 12% off and a three year term 18%, and plans include new features released during the initial term. Westlaw Edge without AI is also sold online, with no starting price stated. Firms with more than 10 attorneys and existing customers are quoted by sales.
Implementation: None stated. Most new customers get access within one business day of signing up. Documents outside the subscription plan are charged at the rates in Westlaw's subscriber pricing guide.
Note: The configurator sets the price by number of attorneys, jurisdiction and term. The starting prices above are the ones Thomson Reuters states on its plan pages.
