Thomson Reuters halves legal due diligence time with Copilot automation
Thomson Reuters implemented a Copilot Studio agent to automate and streamline legal due diligence processes. By leveraging Microsoft Copilot Studio, the company addressed previously manual and labor-intensive due diligence review tasks. The autonomous agent gathers, processes, and reports on relevant information, enabling faster decision-making and significant efficiency gains. Early tests demonstrated that the Copilot agent cut the time spent on due diligence by 50%, allowing legal teams to redirect their focus to higher-value business activities.
