Legal and Risk Checks

The Legal and Risk Checks section surfaces any litigation history and regulatory flags associated with a company and its directors.

What you'll see

The section is divided into two main views:

Cases filed by the company or its directors

Legal cases where the company or any of its directors are the plaintiff (i.e., they initiated the case). This includes:

• Case status — Pending, Disposed, or Not Available
• Involved parties — Whether the case was filed by the company itself or by an individual director
• Case details and filing information

Cases filed against the company or its directors

Legal cases where the company or any of its directors are the defendant (i.e., the case was filed against them). This includes the same details as above.

AML and PEP screening

In addition to litigation, this section includes:

• AML (Anti-Money Laundering) checks — Screening against global watchlists and sanctions databases
• PEP (Politically Exposed Person) checks — Identifying whether any directors or key officials hold politically sensitive positions

How to use this data

• Review pending cases to assess ongoing legal risk
• Check the volume and pattern of cases — frequent litigation may indicate operational or governance issues
• Cross-reference with the Related Parties section to see if any directors involved in cases are connected to other companies in your pipeline
