Thomson Reuters
The Thomson Reuters Corporation is a Canadian multinational information services and technology company specializing in legal, tax, accounting, compliance, regulatory, media, and corporate information solutions. Headquartered in Toronto, Ontario, the company was formed in 2008 through the merger of Canada's The Thomson Corporation and the British news organization Reuters Group plc. The combined company brought together Thomson's expertise in professional information services with Reuters' global news and financial information operations, creating one of the world's largest providers of business intelligence and professional content. Thomson Reuters is publicly traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange and the [[New York Stock Exchange]] under the ticker symbol TRI.
The company provides software, data, research, and workflow solutions for legal professionals, accountants, tax advisers, corporations, government agencies, financial institutions, and media organizations. Its principal business segments include Legal Professionals, Corporates, Tax & Accounting, Reuters News, and Risk, Fraud & Compliance. Through these divisions, Thomson Reuters offers legal research platforms such as Westlaw, tax preparation and accounting software, regulatory compliance tools, investigative and due diligence solutions, and enterprise knowledge management systems. The company also licenses data and technology products that support decision-making across highly regulated industries.
Reuters News, one of the company's most prominent divisions, is among the world's largest international news organizations, providing independent reporting on politics, business, economics, financial markets, technology, science, and global affairs. Reuters supplies news content to newspapers, television broadcasters, digital media platforms, governments, and financial institutions worldwide. Until 2018, Thomson Reuters also owned its Financial & Risk business, which provided real-time financial market data, trading platforms, and analytics. That division was sold to Blackstone Group, becoming Refinitiv, which was subsequently acquired by the London Stock Exchange Group in 2021.
Thomson Reuters serves customers in more than 150 countries and is recognized as one of the world's leading providers of trusted professional information and workflow technology. Its products support legal research, regulatory compliance, tax administration, corporate governance, journalism, and business intelligence across both the public and private sectors. Alongside organizations such as Bloomberg L.P., S&P Global, Moody's, FactSet, and RELX, Thomson Reuters forms an important part of the global information services industry, supplying data, analytics, and content that facilitate informed decision-making and institutional operations.
