Which plan to pickTalk to your Thomson Reuters account manager, since price depends on your Westlaw contract. Ask for a trial on real matters and compare the full CoCounsel Legal tier with the cheaper Essentials bundle before you choose.Pricing is by quote. Start with the module that solves your biggest problem (usually talent acquisition), and ask for the bias audit results and how candidate scores are disclosed.There is one route in: talk to sales. Ask how usage credits work per project and what data licences you need to bring yourself.
