Strategic Profiles
How many cases like mine has this firm actually represented in the past three years? How many have they won? How often does the subject of my news article get sued for product liability? Are asbestos litigation filings in Pennsylvania on the rise?

LexisNexis Courtlink Strategic Profiles help you gain insight into the litigation history of a company, attorney experience on a particular nature or suit, or map out federal litigation trends. Strategic profiles present court docket information in easy to read graphics and data charts, allowing you to quickly identify trends, opportunities and risk. Strategic Profiles allow you to review litigation history from several angles, including:
  • Judicial Strategic Profiles: Determine a presiding judge's experience in a specific area of law or how the judge has handled similar cases.
  • Attorney Strategic Profiles: Determine an attorney or firm's experience level with a specific case type. Learn whether the attorney has argued similar cases or before a specific judge and see prior strategies employed, including case resolution.
  • Litigant Strategic Profiles: Research the litigation history of the plaintiff or defendant to uncover prior participation in similar cases and discern patterns of case resolution.
  • Nature of Suit Profile: View nature of suit trends and identify areas of increasing or decreasing litigation nationally. Compare trends on a court-by-court basis. Monitor case types that seem to be on the decline and flag emerging risk. Gain insight into market trends to make well informed decisions.
