Ernie Brod and his team have uncovered game-changing facts in high-stakes litigation and international arbitration.

We can tell you about your adversary’s resources, litigation history, strategy, and goals; conduct more focused and better-informed discovery; and clue you in on adverse experts’ shortcomings.

Our former journalists, law enforcement officials, prosecutors and intelligence professionals comb the public record, including specialized databases and obscure court documents, and hit the streets for field interviews to give you an edge. Our Litigation Intelligence team has a wealth of experience in conducting litigation-related investigations. All of our work is conducted within strict legal and ethical guidelines.

Our clients rely on our litigation intelligence to:

• Determine whether there are sufficient assets to justify filing a suit;

• Determine whether there are sufficient facts to withstand Rule 11 or similar challenges;

• Research the strengths and vulnerabilities of adverse parties;

• Identify and locate potential witnesses;

• Prepare background profiles on adverse witnesses; and

• Identify assets to permit recovery of judgments.

In trade secret theft and other IP suits, our Web Intelligence provides information from the underside of the Web where schemers believe their communications to be secret.
