Thomson Reuters: Two Mid-Sized Firms, 80% Research Time Savings and Critical Evidence in Seven Minutes

Thomson Reuters CoCounsel's case study library documents two mid-sized firm results that anchor the ROI argument. At Laffey Bucci D'Andrea Reich & Ryan, partner Guy D'Andrea reports saving up to 80% of time previously devoted to legal research using Westlaw Precision's AI-Assisted Research — allowing him to "hyper-focus" on client relationships rather than the mechanics of research assembly. At Sullivan Papain Block McManus Coffinas & Cannavo, partner Al Aquila described a colleague spending two hours searching 6,000 pages for critical evidence with no result; CoCounsel found it in approximately seven minutes. CoCounsel then reviewed hundreds of pages of Medicare treatment codes, identified what was relevant, performed lien calculations, and cut significant money from the lien total. These cases frame the ROI argument in terms mid-sized firm leaders can bring to a partnership meeting: time saved on specific task types, translated directly into matter-level outcomes and reduced overhead on administrative analysis.
