Westlaw

Westlaw is a platform that was created by Thomson Reuters to be used to provide information about legal research and law practice management. It is a service for lawyers and legal professionals to aid in their research of their cases. The original platform was known as Westlaw Classic and the newest one is called Westlaw Edge.

The company was founded in 1992 under the name West Publishing and was acquired by the Thomson Corporation in 1996. The platform itself has evolved from previous software programs, such as QUIC/LAW, a legal software research program. That program was commercialized by QL Systems and was eventually licensed to present-day Westlaw. The software continued evolving and there were products such as Westmate and then WestlawNext in 2010. The different software programs were designed with updated technology being integrated into them. The Westlaw platform was retired in 2015 and WestlawNext was renamed Thomas Reuters Westlaw in 2016.

Steve Hasker is the President, CEO, and a director of Thomas Reuters. He has worked in other fields, such as private equity and data and management. He is also a chartered accountant. Hasker came into these positions following Jim Smith in 2020.
