LitWatch identifies significant litigation events and provides investors with real-time alerts customized to their portfolios and watchlists. LitWatch often provides its original news stories and actual court documents before other services and gives deeper information when stocks are rocked by litigation turmoil.

Your portfolio may not be affected by litigation news every day, but LitWatch’s customers say time and time again that the profits from a single story can more than cover the subscription fees for an entire year.

Here are some examples where LitWatch subscribers could have profited from real-time litigation news:

LitWatch for longer term investors

While longer term investors may not act on breaking news, it is still important for portfolio managers to keep tabs on important litigation events, just as they monitor other types of company news. In addition, buy and hold investors oftentimes need deeper research tools to assist in due diligence before entering a position.

The same custom real-time alerts used by active traders can keep long term investors in the know, while providing a searchable archive of stories and legal documents useful for assessing the risks facing their current portfolio and prospects in the future. In a time of information overload, LitWatch’s attorneys filter out insignificant litigation, leaving money managers with the relevant facts they need in as little time as possible.

Long term investors find that LitWatch lowers their reliance on company disclosures and reduces legal research bills from law firms, giving them a positive payback and better peace of mind by understanding their litigation risk.

LitWatch also provides custom research services, allowing you to use our expertise and contacts to provide you with even deeper analysis.
