It seems counterintuitive that many law firms suffer from information overload, but yet find they are still missing out on important events and business opportunities. LitWatch’s combination of unique and timely coverage of significant business litigation, providing both news and documents, meets needs that lawyers, marketers, and law librarians find they cannot satisfy with any other service. Many top law firms subscribe to LitWatch -- don't be left behind.

The legal sector has many sources for information: the challenge is not in identifying those sources, but rather filtering for the information that is relevant, timely, and valuable. LitWatch has been developed by experienced litigators to deliver this for those in the legal field.

LitWatch for staying in the know

When it comes to monitoring clients, potential clients, competitors, and industries, LitWatch’s customized e-mail alerts deliver what you need, when you need it:

• Lawyers and consultants use LitWatch to keep abreast of breaking litigation news affecting their clients and potential clients.
• LitWatch tracks ongoing litigation to provide lawyers and others with real-time news and documents, allowing lawyers to follow the evolution of specific cases.
• Lawyers can skim the daily headline e-mail summaries, saving time while keeping up to date on significant litigation developments.

LitWatch for marketing

Because of LitWatch’s focus on significant business litigation, primarily involving publicly traded companies, its succinct stories and supporting court documents provide an ideal method for identifying qualified, highly focused client leads. Other services either provide information too late to be helpful or provide so much data that it is impossible to separate the wheat from the chaff. LitWatch’s unique and timely focus gives you a high return for your marketing investment.

LitWatch for research

LitWatch has compiled a significant archive of thousands of LitNews stories and LitBase litigation documents covering significant commercial litigation involving or affecting publicly traded companies. The archived database is fully searchable.

There are other research tools out there, but they do not allow you to:

• Research opponents, legal issues, and judges
• Download complaints, briefs, other litigation documents, in addition to opinions
• Investigate opposing counsel’s prior strategy and tactics
• Locate briefs filed in the same court or elsewhere on the same issue

• LitWatch shows you work product from major cases and firms -- providing a "second opinion" on key issues
• LitWatch saves research time by letting attorneys start with a current model, rather than researching every issue from scratch
• LitWatch serves as a diversified brief bank superior to that of any single firm
• LitWatch can track ongoing cases by specialty, industry or jurisdiction
• LitWatch aids in identifying potential co-counsel, local counsel, and experts by searching for archived cases involving identical or similar issues
• LitWatch helps in-house counsel to identify outside counsel who have handled similar cases or issues (including being able to determine the results of the representation)

LitWatch for cost reduction

LitWatch saves attorneys and their clients, both internal and external, time and money:

• LitBase documents are available faster and at less cost than traditional fetching services.
• Lawyers save money on expensive legal research services by downloading entire briefs to use as models and to get a head start on researching legal issues.
• Many clients insist that their outside counsel use LitWatch to save money on legal fees for expensive research and drafting time, often unnecessarily reinventing the wheel.
• LitWatch gives you the option to pass costs through to clients.
