Works in Chat, Cowork and Code
Case law and precedent research
Search court decisions across federal and state jurisdictions in seconds. Find controlling precedents, distinguish unfavorable cases, and build citation-ready arguments without spending hours in Westlaw.
Found 14 relevant cases. Key precedents: In re Revlon Inc. (Del. Ch. 2022) — directors protected under BJR despite activist pressure. Corwin v. KKR Financial Holdings (Del. 2015) still controlling. 3 Second Circuit cases cite Corwin favorably. Highest-risk factor: inadequate disclosure in proxy statement.
SEC filing review and due diligence
Pull 10-Ks, 10-Qs, 8-Ks, and proxy statements to analyze risk factors, related-party transactions, and material change disclosures for M&A due diligence or securities compliance review.
Found 4 material disclosures: 2022 10-K: DOJ civil investigation disclosed (Note 12). 2023 10-K: SEC Wells notice re: accounting practices. 2024 10-K: Investigation resolved, $12M consent decree. 2 contract disputes with customers still pending — combined exposure $28M.
Regulatory enforcement monitoring
Monitor enforcement actions from the SEC, CFTC, OCC, and FINRA against counterparties, clients, or acquisition targets. Identify pattern of violations that may affect deal valuations or client risk exposure.
Found 2 FINRA enforcement actions: 2019 — $2.3M fine for AML deficiencies in correspondent banking. 2021 — censure for supervisory failures in options trading. No SEC actions. The 2019 action involved the same AML team still in place — flag for acquirer's compliance review.
Compliance and regulatory landscape research
Research emerging regulations, cross-border compliance requirements, and recent enforcement trends that affect your client's industry. Stay ahead of regulatory changes before they become deal-breakers.
Three overlapping regimes: EEOC 2023 guidance requires bias audits for automated employment decision tools. NYC LL 144 (effective July 2023) mandates annual third-party audits and public disclosure of bias rates. EU AI Act classifies hiring AI as high-risk — requires conformity assessment. Enforcement risk highest in NYC and EU.
Target company entity and ownership research
Verify corporate registrations, ownership structures, and director histories for acquisition targets, counterparties, and beneficial owners. Surface undisclosed subsidiaries and beneficial ownership red flags.
Found 6 related entities: FinTech Holdings Ltd (Cayman — parent). 3 US subsidiaries (Delaware). 1 UK FCA-regulated entity. Ultimate beneficial owner: Marcus R. Holt (67% via trust structure). One Delaware subsidiary dissolved without proper winding-up in 2022 — potential liability.
