This provision explicitly negates any professional advisory relationship arising from site use, which is operationally significant given that Thomson Reuters markets AI-assisted legal research and drafting products through this site. The disclaimer applies to site content and services as described, though its interaction with separately licensed professional software products may require evaluation under those products' specific terms.
Under this clause, no information, tool description, or service presented on the Thomson Reuters website creates a legal advisory relationship or can be relied upon as legal advice. Users who act on site content without separate professional counsel do so at their own risk as stated in the agreement.

"The information and services on this website are not intended to and shall not be used as legal advice. No attorney-client relationship is formed. You use the content, information, and services on this website at your own risk.Excerpt from Thomson Reuters's Terms
(1) REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: No-legal-advice disclaimers of this type are standard practice in the legal information industry and are consistent with state bar rules governing unauthorized practice of law. The disclaimer is relevant to legal professional responsibility frameworks in U.S. jurisdictions and equivalent frameworks in the UK and EU. (2) GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Low. This type of disclaimer is routine and expected for legal information publishers. However, as Thomson Reuters increasingly markets AI-assisted legal drafting and research tools through this site, regulatory bodies governing the practice of law may scrutinize the boundary between legal information and legal advice as applied to AI-generated outputs. (3) JURISDICTION FLAGS: UK users should note that the Solicitors Regulation Authority and Bar Standards Board have issued guidance on AI in legal practice that may interact with how AI-generated legal content is characterized. U.S. state bars have varying guidance on AI tools and the unauthorized practice of law. (4) CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Enterprises procuring Thomson Reuters legal AI tools for attorney use should ensure that separate product license agreements address professional responsibility obligations, as this site-level disclaimer does not govern the licensed software products themselves. (5) COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Legal operations teams should note that this disclaimer covers site-level content and services only. Separate license agreements for products such as CoCounsel, Westlaw, and Practical Law govern the professional use and reliance standards applicable to those tools, and should be reviewed independently.
