Casetext

Casetext is a legal technology company founded in 2013 by Jake Heller, Joanna Huey, and Laurence Pfeffer and headquartered in San Francisco, California. The company built one of the earliest neural-search engines for U.S. case law (Parallel Search) and a broader research platform covering federal and state cases, statutes, regulations, and secondary sources, with citator signals delivered through its SmartCite feature. Casetext is best known for CoCounsel, a generative-AI legal assistant released in March 2023 and originally built on top of OpenAI's GPT-4, that automates document review, deposition preparation, contract analysis, legal research memos, and database queries for law firms and in-house legal teams. Companion products include AllSearch, a private document search tool that lets firms run Parallel Search across their own document collections, and Compose, an automated brief-drafting product. Thomson Reuters acquired Casetext in June 2023 for $650 million in an all-cash deal that closed in August 2023, and CoCounsel has since been integrated across Thomson Reuters' Westlaw, Practical Law, and HighQ product lines as the company's flagship legal-AI assistant. The Casetext platform is sold as a SaaS subscription to law firms, corporate legal departments, and government agencies; there is no public developer API, SDK, or open-source release, and the casetext GitHub organization contains only archived research forks (transformers, ELECTRA, pgvector, FiD) plus a handful of internal infrastructure repos that were archived after the Thomson Reuters acquisition.

Casetext is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Legal, Legal Tech, Legal Research, Case Law, and Legal AI.

Casetext’s developer surface includes pricing, engineering blog, GitHub presence, and 19 more developer resources.
