Litigation support

Discovery, deposition prep, and impeachment ammunition
in one workflow.

Litigators waste weeks of paralegal time stitching together public-records pulls, social-media history, and prior-litigation patterns for adverse parties + witnesses. Tracelight runs the same diligence in 60 seconds per subject and ships citation-anchored output your team can drop straight into a motion or impeachment outline.

What this fixes.

PAIN 1

Discovery on adverse parties is brittle and labor-intensive.

Manual public-records sweeps + social-media trawling on each defendant in a multi-defendant case is a week of paralegal time per case. The findings are inconsistent and rarely organized for impeachment use.

PAIN 2

Witness deposition prep happens at the last minute.

Prior testimony patterns + reputational issues + COI surface only when there's time pressure. The deposition where you discover the witness has 30 prior testimonies for the opposing-party type is the deposition where it's too late.

PAIN 3

Settlement leverage requires asset-search leads.

Knowing what defendants own — companies, properties, hidden assets — moves settlement discussions. Manual asset searches across registries + property records + corporate registries take days.

What gets checked

8+ data sources running in parallel.

PACER + state court records (US)

Civil + criminal docket aggregation across counties

OpenCorporates + Companies House for entity ownership + role mapping

Property records + UCC filings (where publicly indexed)

Social media activity + public-statement history

Sanctions + adverse-media + retraction databases

Cross-platform identity correlation for alias work

Prior-litigation pattern analysis

What you get

The report that lands on your desk.

1
Adverse-party profile with prior-litigation summary + pattern flags
2
Witness vetting brief with prior-testimony record + COI section
3
Asset-search lead list (entities, properties, registered holdings) for settlement context
4
Impeachment-ready evidence excerpts pre-formatted for motion practice
5
Citation appendix linking every claim to the originating court filing or registry record

Common questions.

Can I use this on opposing experts + adverse parties?+

Yes — both. The same workflow that vets your own witness for what opposing counsel might surface in cross also works against opposing parties to surface impeachment material. Most teams run both directions on every case.

Is the output admissible?+

The underlying evidence is — court filings, registry records, public statements. The Tracelight summary is work product; you'll typically introduce the underlying source documents directly via stipulation, judicial notice, or appropriate exhibits. The citation appendix makes the chain trivial to reproduce.

Does this replace traditional litigation-support vendors?+

Complements, doesn't replace. Tracelight is fast + cheap + audit-trailed for the public-records OSINT layer. Traditional vendors win on credit-bureau-licensed data + private database depth that has FCRA-permissible-purpose obligations beyond OSINT scope. Use both for a complete picture.
