Thomson Reuters Launches Westlaw Singapore, featuring New Strategic Partnership with Singapore Academy of Law

SINGAPORE, September 11, 2025 – Thomson Reuters (TSX/Nasdaq: TRI), a global content and technology company, today announced the launch of Westlaw Singapore, a comprehensive legal research platform that unites all essential legal sources in a single location. The new and improved platform will provide customers with access to the Singapore Law Reports via a new strategic partnership with the Singapore Academy of Law (SAL).

“Against the backdrop of vast technological, regulatory, and economic change, we see a growing demand for legal professionals to deliver clarity for their clients with trust, speed and accuracy at the core,” said Vishal Bali, Managing Director of Asia and Emerging Markets (AEM) at Thomson Reuters.  “Despite this, legal research methods have traditionally relied on disparate databases, hindering professionals' ability to complete legal analysis efficiently. The launch of Westlaw Singapore addresses this challenge by providing the first comprehensive platform to combine trusted, authoritative content with advanced research technology.”

The partnership with SAL, announced to more than 2,000 professionals today at TechLaw.Fest 2025, enhances Thomson Reuters offering of authoritative Singapore legal content for local and global customers. Powered by smart search capabilities and enhanced with links to common law research services such as Westlaw Edge UK, the legal research platform enables professionals to confidently research the legislation and case law critical to the practise of law in Singapore.

“The launch of Westlaw Singapore and our partnership with the Singapore Academy of Law represents a pivotal moment for legal research in the region. By combining Thomson Reuters comprehensive coverage of Authorised Law reports across four major jurisdictions with SAL's deep local expertise, we are delivering unparalleled access to trusted, authoritative content and cutting-edge technology,” said Rob Head, Senior Director, Legal Content Solutions at Thomson Reuters. “Together, we are setting a new standard for legal research - one that is faster, more reliable, and seamlessly connected - empowering legal professionals in Singapore and around the world to navigate complex decisions with confidence.”

Mr Yeong Zee Kin, Chief Executive of SAL, said, “This is a significant milestone, marking our first partnership with Thomson Reuters, one of the world’s leading providers of legal content, to promote Singapore law globally. We are excited to set a new benchmark to deliver a seamless and enhanced research experience to the global legal community by making a comprehensive collection of Singapore judgments, including the official Singapore Law Reports, accessible on leading international platforms.”

• All essential Singapore legal sources in a single location: Primary law sources including the official Singapore Law Reports, unreported judgments, AI case summaries, and legislation, as well as The Essential Singapore Civil Procedure (Singapore White Book) creating an indispensable connected resource.
