    About

    Thomson Reuters stands as a Canadian multinational content-driven technology conglomerate formed on April 17, 2008. The entity emerged when the Canadian Thomson Corporation acquired the British Reuters Group to create a unified powerhouse capable of delivering real-time intelligence to governments, banks, and legal professionals worldwide. Headquartered at 19 Duncan Street in Toronto, Ontario, the company operates at the intersection of global journalism, legal research, and financial data analytics.

    The Woodbridge Company serves as the holding vehicle for the Thomson family and retains majority ownership of the public corporation. This structure facilitates massive scale while ensuring editorial independence for the organization. Under CEO Steve Hasker, the firm has pivoted from traditional information provision toward purpose-built technology solutions that power decision-making for millions of professionals globally.
