Scope, methods and delivery

The problem we address

Legal professionals spend enormous time on research that's still fundamentally manual. Westlaw and LexisNexis are powerful, and built around case law, statutes and regulation, with alerts when those change. Regulatory changes are tracked reactively. Competitive intelligence about other firms is based on reputation and networking, not data. Consumer complaint patterns, a possible early sign of litigation, sit in public databases that take time to monitor.

Our approach

We aggregate enforcement actions, regulatory filings, consumer complaint trends, litigation patterns, and industry sentiment across verified government and public data sources. Our reports surface emerging regulatory risks, litigation opportunity signals, compliance gaps, and competitive positioning, turning reactive legal research into proactive intelligence.

Why legal and compliance practices need real-time intelligence

Legal research platforms support case law, statutory research and citation checking. We add separately scoped, evidence-linked research and review at the practice-management level, including:

  • Regulatory enforcement trends across the verticals your firm serves
  • Plaintiff-firm activity patterns suggesting where mass-tort waves are forming
  • AI-drafted brief review — checking the factual claims, statistics and non-case sources beyond the citations themselves; Damien Charlotin's AI Hallucination Cases database documents judicial decisions addressing hallucinated material
  • Emerging compliance risks for clients, from enforcement actions and complaint trends

The data fabric for legal-compliance CI

Engagements cross-reference:

  • FTC enforcement records (active and historical)
  • SEC litigation releases and enforcement actions
  • CFPB consumer financial enforcement
  • OSHA inspections and citations
  • EPA ECHO facility compliance data
  • FDA enforcement and recalls; NHTSA recalls and complaints
  • State attorney general enforcement records
  • Federal-court docket activity through PACER
  • USAspending federal contract data (surfaces emerging regulatory-services demand patterns)
  • Attorney-side discussion archive from Reddit legal subreddits and law-practice forums

What you receive

Legal-compliance engagements deliver three product types:

  • Regulatory enforcement intelligence — monthly briefings on activity in your firm's practice verticals plus emerging-trend analysis
  • Competitive practice intelligence — rival firms' practice-group hiring, lateral partner moves, federal contract awards, and digital strategy
  • Verification-as-a-service — the highest-leverage offering for 2026. Every AI-drafted brief, motion, or research memo passes independent fact-check against primary sources before filing

Where this fits

This works for compliance-focused law firms (50-500 attorneys), litigation boutiques in regulated practice areas, regulatory-affairs consultancies, and corporate compliance functions running internal investigations.

It doesn't fit solo practitioners where engagement volume cannot justify the research-tier investment.

Legal & Compliance questions

How does this complement Westlaw or LexisNexis?
Legal research platforms cover case law, statutes and regulation, and many send alerts when those change. We focus on signals outside the law itself that can point to future legal activity: consumer complaint patterns, enforcement trends, and industry sentiment, delivered as finished research.
Can you monitor specific regulatory agencies?
Yes. We track enforcement actions, policy changes, and priorities across SEC, FTC, CFPB, FDA, EPA, OSHA, and state-level regulators. You can focus monitoring on the specific agencies and jurisdictions relevant to your practice.
Is this useful for law firm business development?
Extremely. We identify companies with rising complaint volumes, compliance gaps, or emerging regulatory exposure. These are potential clients who don't know they need legal counsel yet. We also provide competitive intelligence on other firms in your market.
How do you identify litigation opportunity signals?
We watch for rising consumer complaint volumes, changes in regulatory enforcement and shifts in industry sentiment, each a possible early sign of litigation. We track them across consumer complaint databases and archived discussion data so you can judge an emerging issue early.
How much does legal competitive intelligence cost?
Legal industry intelligence reports start at $500 for a Quick Scan of 2-3 competitor firms. Full competitive analysis with regulatory tracking, complaint data analysis, and market positioning runs $2,000-$10,000. Litigation intelligence and regulatory risk assessment for compliance teams runs $5,000-$15,000 depending on scope and jurisdictions covered.
Can you track regulatory changes and enforcement actions?
Yes. We monitor FTC enforcement actions, CFPB consumer complaints, state attorney general actions, regulatory filings, and proposed rule changes. We also track industry discussion data to identify emerging compliance concerns before they become enforcement priorities. Alerts for relevant regulatory changes are available through our continuous monitoring service.
