Damages range research for settlement framing
Research actual jury verdicts, settlement ranges, and damages awards in cases similar to the dispute you're mediating. Give both parties an objective view of their litigation risk instead of letting each party's optimism drive the gap.
I'm mediating a trade secret misappropriation case. Research actual jury verdicts and settlements in California trade secret cases involving former employees taking customer lists and pricing data. What are the realistic damages ranges?
California trade secret verdicts (CUTSA) 2018–2024: Jury verdicts: median $1.2M for customer list theft, range $180K–$28M. Higher awards correlated with provable lost sales. Settlement range: typically 30–60% of claimed damages. Largest verdict: $28M (Waymo v. Uber-style large tech defendants). Average case: $800K–$2.4M settlement range for similar facts. Attorney fees: awarded to prevailing party in 62% of tried cases — significant leverage.

Economic and wage data for employment disputes
Pull objective wage data, salary benchmarks, and economic indicators to ground lost income calculations in employment discrimination, wrongful termination, and workplace injury mediations.
I need objective wage data for a wrongful termination mediation. The claimant is a 38-year-old registered nurse in Dallas, TX who was terminated 18 months ago and claims back pay plus front pay for 3 years.
Bureau of Labor Statistics data: Dallas-Fort Worth RN median wage $79,840/year. 75th percentile: $92,310 (matches claimant's prior salary). RN unemployment rate in DFW: 0.8% — highly employable. Market data suggests duty to mitigate exposure is real: 89% of RNs find equivalent employment within 6 months. Front pay rationale weakens beyond 12 months given market conditions.

Litigation risk and fee analysis
Research likely litigation outcomes, duration, and attorney fee exposure to help parties make rational economic decisions about settlement. Show both parties what going to trial actually costs vs. settling today.
Prepare a neutral litigation risk analysis for a $2.8M commercial lease dispute going to trial in Illinois state court. What are realistic trial timelines, attorney fee estimates, and success rates for landlords vs. tenants in breach of commercial lease cases?
Illinois commercial lease litigation: Average time to trial: 22 months from filing. Attorney fees for both sides combined: $400K–$850K for $2.8M dispute (Laffey matrix + commercial rate). Landlord success rate at trial: 68% on unpaid rent claims. Tenant success rate on constructive eviction counterclaims: 22%. Economic analysis: settlement at $0.65–$0.80 on the dollar rational for both parties given combined fee exposure.

Industry practice research for business disputes
Research industry standards, trade practices, and market norms to establish objective benchmarks in business disputes. Help parties agree on what "reasonable" looks like when they can't agree on anything else.
I'm mediating a dispute between a software company and its sales rep who claims the commission structure was changed mid-deal cycle. Research industry standard commission practices for enterprise SaaS sales reps earning $180K OTE.
Enterprise SaaS commission standards: Base/variable split: typically 50/50 at $180K OTE. Commission rates: 8–12% of first-year ACV. Clawback: industry standard 6 months if client churns. Mid-cycle rate changes: survey data shows 78% of SaaS companies grandfather existing pipelines for 90–180 days. Rep's expectation of grandfathering is consistent with industry norm — supports their claim for the deal in progress.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can the case law tool find settlement data, or only jury verdicts?
Legal Research primarily covers published court opinions, which typically include verdicts and approved class action settlements. Private out-of-court settlements are generally not in public databases. The tool is most useful for identifying verdict ranges and post-trial outcomes to establish the litigation risk each party faces.
How accurate is the economic data for wage calculations in employment disputes?
Economic Data uses Bureau of Labor Statistics Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics (OEWS) data, which is the gold standard for expert witness wage analyses. Data is updated annually. For specific metropolitan areas and occupation codes, it provides 10th, 25th, 50th, 75th, and 90th percentile wages.
Can these tools help with international commercial arbitration preparation?
Yes. Case Law covers ICC, LCIA, SIAC, and select AAA/ICDR award decisions that are publicly available. Deep Research can research the governing law, industry standards, and comparative law for multi-jurisdictional disputes. For confidential arbitral awards, you'll need access to specialized arbitration databases.
Can the real estate tool provide commercial vs. residential valuations?
Real Estate Data covers both residential and commercial property listings, comparable sales, and market trends. For commercial properties, search by property type (office, retail, industrial, multifamily) and location. Data is most robust for US markets with active MLS systems.
How do I use these tools to prepare a neutral evaluation for a business valuation dispute?
Use Deep Research to identify appropriate valuation multiples for the industry and revenue level. The Finance Data tool provides comparable public company trading multiples. Economic Data provides industry-level financial benchmarks. Combine these with the specific company's financials from SEC Filings or provided documents to build a range-based neutral evaluation.
