What do I need to do if I use a Proxy server?

We are aware of issues some customers have been experiencing accessing Westlaw UK via IP authenticated links.

Customers experiencing issues have been using Proxy IPs to enable links for onsite and offsite access. Although it has been possible to modify Westlaw UK links to accommodate proxy access in the past, the bespoke nature of the links means that they cannot be supported or tested in the way standard IP links and Single Sign-On can.

Thomson Reuters do not provide support for Proxy services. You will need to contact your Proxy server about configuring your settings. We would like to advise all users of these services that Westlaw UK cannot guarantee the integrity of these links moving forward.

We recommend you take this opportunity to update your access method to Single Sign-On. Should you be interested please contact us.

Other supported seamless access methods include OpenAthens, The Australian Access Federation and The Tuakiri Federation. If it recommended that OpenAthens or Federation links are used for offsite authentication into Westlaw UK.

What is a Client ID?

The Client ID is used to record billable time against a client or matter. The Client ID is recorded in your History tab within Westlaw. Enter a client name, research topic or a matter number and click the Start new session button to get started with your research.

Update: The Client ID prompt has now been removed for IP access.
