Organic revenues in the Legal Professionals segment increased 6%, while total revenue fell 2%, reflecting sales of some divisions.
Thomson Reuters has earmarked $10 billion for acquisitions and about $100 million per year in investments in AI capabilities.
In August, the company closed its $650 million cash acquisition of Casetext, a California-based AI company that helps legal professionals conduct research, analysis and prepare documents using generative AI.
