Litigation Intelligence for Expert Witnesses

Weekly curated case visibility, counsel mapping, and early signals—so experts can act at the right moment.

Why Litigation Intelligence Matters

Expert witnesses are most effective when they engage with cases at the right moment. However, scanning thousands of court filings and news alerts can be overwhelming. Litigation Intelligence transforms this challenge into an advantage by providing:

  • **Early visibility** into new and emerging litigations.
  • **Contextual summaries** that explain why a case matters for a specific area of expertise.
  • **Identification of counsel and law firms** on both plaintiff and defense sides.
  • **Time savings** that let experts focus on analysis instead of manual research.

Why choose Litigation Intelligence over DIY monitoring?

Aspect DIY Monitoring Litigation Intelligence (EWI)
Case discovery speed Manual PACER/news searches; updates can be missed or delayed. Weekly curated briefs surface early filings and notable orders.
Relevance to expertise Broad alerts; much time spent filtering for your niche. Only cases aligned to your specialization and jurisdictions.
Counsel identification Attorney/firm names must be extracted from dockets manually. Counsel and firms (plaintiff/defense) highlighted in each brief.
Actionability Unstructured links; difficult to know when/how to act. Plain-English context: why it matters, what to watch next, timing.
Time investment High: scanning, deduping, organizing, tracking. Low: read brief → prioritize → act (outreach/prep) in under an hour.
Signal-to-noise Variable; duplicates and irrelevant matters are common. Noise removed; one clean digest with links to primary filings.
Consistency Depends on personal bandwidth; easy to fall behind. Reliable cadence—new matters and updates every week.
Outcome Late awareness, scattered notes, missed opportunities. Early awareness, clear counsel map, focused BD opportunities.
