Firm Prospects + UniCourt: What the New Litigation Data Means for You
Firm Prospects has partnered with UniCourt — the preeminent litigation data platform in the country — to make every attorney profile on our platform fundamentally more powerful. This is an unprecedented partnership in legal market intelligence: UniCourt gives us access to over 2 billion dockets and documents across 4,000+ state and federal courts, and we've embedded that intelligence directly into Firm Prospects attorney profiles.
We chose UniCourt because they are not only the broadest, but also the deepest litigation data source available — and depth, paired with the cleanest data in the profession, is what sets Firm Prospects apart. A resume tells you where someone has been. It doesn't tell you what they've actually done. This partnership closes that gap, replacing informal references and guesswork with the verified court record — for every attorney, on every matter.

Here are the top questions we’re fielding so far:
1. What is the Firm Prospects + UniCourt partnership?
Firm Prospects has integrated UniCourt's litigation data — covering more than 2 billion dockets and documents across 4,000 state and federal courts — directly into our attorney and law firm profiles. This gives you litigation history, case outcomes, and professional connection data that used to require separate tools or simply wasn't accessible at all.
2. What new data does this add to Firm Prospects?
Attorney profiles now include full case histories, co-counsel relationships, and opposing counsel connections. For partner-level profiles especially, this adds substantial depth — practice area focus, case sophistication, and real-world litigation experience are now visible in ways a resume never captured.
3. How many courts and cases does UniCourt cover?
UniCourt's database spans more than 4,000 state and federal courts across over 40 states, with over 2 billion dockets and documents — the largest docket database in the industry. This integration is the first phase of a growing partnership, with continued expansion toward 2 million+ cases and broader court coverage infused into Firm Prospects over time.
4. What can I see on an attorney's profile now that I couldn't before?
Previously, attorney profiles relied on resumes, self-reported experience, and informal references. Now you can see an attorney's actual litigation record — the matters they've worked on, which courts and judges they've appeared before, who they represented, and how each case resolved. It's the verified record, not the narrative.
5. How does this help with lateral hiring decisions?
This is where the integration adds the most value. When evaluating a lateral candidate, you can now see their complete case history matter-by-matter, understand their client portfolio, and verify how they've actually performed in litigation — rather than relying on the trial experience a candidate describes in an interview. You can also map a candidate against attorneys already at your firm who've worked alongside or against them, surfacing relationship-based context that wasn't available before.
6. What are co-counsel and opposing counsel connections?
Co-counsel connections show you who an attorney has worked alongside across cases, firms, and years — useful for understanding their professional network. Opposing counsel connections show who they've gone up against. If you want to understand how an attorney operates — their reputation, their approach, what it's like to be across the table from them — the attorneys who've opposed them are often your most informed source.
7. Why do Tier 1 connections matter?
Tier 1 connections turn raw data into real relationships — and with UniCourt's matter-level detail now built in, you can see not just that two attorneys know each other, but exactly which case brought them together.
A Tier 1 connection means two attorneys are linked through verified, specific overlap — the same firm and office at the same time, the same law school and graduating class, or as co-counsel or opposing counsel on the very same matter.
8. Is this available now, or coming soon?
The enhanced attorney profiles are live now for all current Firm Prospects clients. If you have an active account, you can explore the new litigation data on attorney profiles today.
9. Does this cost extra, or is it included in my current plan?
This update is included at no additional cost for current Firm Prospects customers. There's nothing new to activate or purchase — the enhanced profiles are already part of your existing access.
10. How is Firm Prospects + UniCourt data different from just looking up a resume or LinkedIn?
A resume tells you where someone has been. It doesn't tell you what they actually did, how their cases turned out, or who they've worked with and against. This integration replaces guesswork and informal networks with a verified record — grounded in the actual court record, not what a candidate chooses to highlight.
