Private preview · Signals intelligence for legal BD
Client Relationships
Built Organically.
The clients needing your expertise are leaving hints.
Make business development happen automatically, so you can focus on running your practice.
The problem
Most legal BD pipelines are reactive.
The RFP confirms a decision; it rarely creates one.
By the time the brief goes out, the shortlist is usually two firms with existing relationships and a courtesy invite. The firms that win reliably got there before the RFP existed.
- 01
Personal networks, finite
The same partner billing 2,000+ hours is expected to also scan markets for opportunity.
- 02
RFP arrives, fight is over
The shortlist is usually set before the brief is drafted. Firms that arrive at the RFP are competing for second.
- 03
Manual monitoring doesn't scale
SEC EDGAR, FINRA TRACE, activist filings, congressional letters: too much to read, all the time.
- 04
Existing tools manage relationships, not opportunity
DealCloud, Nexl, Introhive map who you know. None tell you which companies outside your client base have an emerging legal need.
How it works
From signal to warm introduction in minutes, not months.
Match
Each signal is scored on strength, lead time, and urgency, then routed to the right practice area without manual triage.
Path
We surface who in your network is connected to the GC, CFO, CEO, or board through alumni, mutual professionals, firm colleagues, and directors.
Outreach
Right contact, right context, right timing, assembled from public signals so you arrive informed, not presumptuous.
Sample signal feed

By practice
Built for the way your practice wins.
Signals are routed at acquisition. The triggers, contacts, and plays below are the ones that move work for each practice. We use the way partners describe winning, not generic CRM categories.
Securities LitigationM&A (sell side)RestructuringInvestigations / White CollarPE / Funds
Securities Litigation
Be the defense firm the GC calls before the complaint lands.
The plaintiff's bar files within days of a 10%+ drop. Fore highlights the trigger, the affected company, and the warmest route to counsel.
- S/Stock drops of 10%+ on guidance / disclosure
- S/Earnings restatements and going concern language
- S/SEC comment letters questioning disclosures
- S/Insider selling at unusual volume
Network
A signal without a path is just news.
For each target company, we find the senior contacts who own the problem, then surface mutual connections who can make an introduction. Source-named people remain visible as separate direct routes.
