In 2008, two storied institutions - The Thomson Corporation and Reuters - merged to create Thomson Reuters, building on a heritage that dates back to the founding of Reuters in 1851. The company emerged from a recognition that professionals across legal, tax, accounting, compliance, government, and media sectors needed more than just information: they needed intelligent solutions that combine trusted content with cutting-edge technology and workflow automation. Today, Thomson Reuters operates as an AI and technology company, serving professionals in over 75 countries with more than 26,000 employees worldwide.
The company's evolution reflects a strategic shift from traditional information provider to technology-driven innovator. Under CEO Steve Hasker's leadership since 2020, Thomson Reuters has invested heavily in generative AI and automation, launching products like CoCounsel for legal and tax professionals. The company's portfolio includes industry-leading platforms such as Westlaw for legal research, ONESOURCE for corporate tax, and CLEAR for risk and fraud detection. By integrating specialized content with AI-powered tools, Thomson Reuters enables professionals to navigate complexity, make informed decisions, and stay ahead in rapidly changing regulatory and business environments.
