CoCounsel Legal Reviews & Product Details

Our firm uses both WL and Lexis. CoCounsel is superior to protege by leaps and miles. It is much more accurate, thorough, and easier to use. It provides great starting off points for novel research issues and has been a huge help to our litigation team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While it's a great starting off point, I do find I have to additional research. That is completely fine with me, but I feel like it's marketed to be complete, but it's not. It also takes a while to "think," which is again, acceptable, but can be annoying if we're on a deadline. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use CoCounsel Legal for reviewing medical records to provide summaries and quickly identify documents within large groups. It makes me so much faster as a lawyer, allowing me to do everything I need for my clients more accurately and quickly due to its ability to sift through large quantities of documents and extract the general sense of what's going on. It's a huge time saver. I also like that I can type procedural questions into chat and get quick answers, which I can then verify. The easy setup and intuitive usage, complemented by special training, make it simple to use. Using CoCounsel Legal gives me confidence because it ensures I'm only looking at real cases, alleviating concerns about privacy and confidentiality. I find it so useful that it has made me better at my job, being faster, more efficient, and more accurate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I sometimes have technical issues with large quantities of documents. For instance, when I was uploading a few medical record files, CoCounsel Legal struggled because two of the files were thousands of pages each. I ended up breaking down the documents and submitted them separately, which worked better. It would be helpful if CoCounsel Legal could handle larger documents without needing tedious administrative tasks like breaking them down. Also, sometimes the tool is not correct. I always have to double-check the answers it provides, and occasionally they can be quite off. However, most of the time, it's pretty useful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The upsides of using CoCounsel are that it cuts my legal research time down significantly. It also finds the relevant cases that I need with ease and it helps me avoid using tedious search terms in the search bar. It also goes super into depth on each research prompt that I give to it, so I can take whatever I need from the response and leave what I don't. I also like how it can help me with citations because those are tedious as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only thing is it takes a long time to respond sometimes, but the wait is worth it more often than it isn't. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love that CoCounsel assists me with the tedious/bulk work of drafting legal documents. I also love how CoCounsel can sift through tons of case files and distill out the general or specific case details. It saves me so much time and allows me to get more done in my day.

CoCounsel can be very slow at times. I also didn't like how you had to upload matter files to each query, but that has since been fixed in the newest CoCounsel update. I also wish CoCounsel's integration with Microsoft Word was a bit more seamless. I feel that sometimes it attempts to edit my document too much when all I really want is for it to run inside Word to cut down on the number of windows I have open at once.

I like the different options for generating documents, correspondence, and summaries quickly and effectively. The library of ready-made prompts is useful, and I like that I can upload and save documents in databases and use CoCounsel Legal to generate case-specific preliminary drafts. It also helps me digest large document productions, such as medical records, and turn them into concise, understandable summaries. I found the setup extremely easy and user friendly.

I find that responses to discovery requests need a lot of attention and revisions afterward, even though CoCounsel Legal produces a good general initial draft. I’m still trying to figure out how that could be improved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use CoCounsel Legal for legal research, and it's amazing. I appreciate that I can quickly get up to speed on legal issues, which saves me a lot of time. I like that it allows me to focus on other legal tasks rather than spend too much time on research, while also deepening the amount of research I can do. The ability to segment my research based on cases is great because it helps me stay organized. Additionally, the setup was seamless with no issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I am sometimes frustrated by the time it takes to respond, although it doesn't greatly impact my workflow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

My favorite CoCounsel feature is that the software links the sources it uses in its output so verification of information is easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

CoCounsel could do a better job of including sources that support a position as well as sources that do not support the position you are researching Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like to use CoCounsel Legal for support in the reasoning base construction of some documents, helping me to see something I normally haven't thought of yet and to innovate. The comparison of documents and the reliability, with the base being made only with my documents and the legislations I provide, are aspects I value greatly. The easy usability and the clean and simple layout provide me with a more agile and assertive experience. Additionally, I found the initial setup quite smooth and quick.

Sometimes it takes too long to load the footnotes and when it takes more than 5 minutes to analyze a document that is not long. Additionally, leaving the prompt library in the initial side menu would also be more practical to access. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It’s very accurate, provides real case law, and helps me brainstorm additional arguments for legal briefs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It sometimes doesn't understand what you want it to do unless you provide a lengthy paragraph. Or it will provide arguments for brief but not the case law that it is citing from Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It’s been really helpful for drafting moving papers, finding relevant legal code, and providing clear answers to the questions we have about various procedures. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It feels a bit too wordy at times, and it often provides more information than we need. Because of that, it can be difficult to insert the content cleanly into our templates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
