Why Legal Research Matters

Thorough, accurate legal research is critically important in litigation and legal processes. Comprehensive research identifies precedents that can make or break a case, provides evidence to support legal arguments, reveals potential pitfalls, and arms attorneys with the information needed to advocate successfully for their clients.

Without vigilant, ongoing legal research, attorneys risk overlooking precedents and statutes that could bolster their cases. And if opposing counsel uncovers legal evidence that yours missed, it can severely damage claims and credibility in court. Timely, relevant research makes the difference between constructing an ironclad case versus scrambling to patch holes at the last minute.

Our team helps prevent those costly errors and knowledge gaps. By digging deep into case law, regulations, and legal precedents from the start, we equip attorneys with the timely insights that make a material difference in shaping legal strategy. Thorough research prevents surprises from derailing cases later on. And it saves attorneys invaluable time gathering, organizing and analyzing relevant legal information.

Rely on our research expertise to drive legal strategy, inform your best next steps, and deliver the evidence needed to resolve cases successfully. Meticulous research isn’t just important – it’s essential.

Our Legal Research Process

Understanding the Case

We start every project by consulting with you to fully understand the details and nuances of your case. Through intake forms, calls, emails, and meetings, our team gathers background on the legal issues, unresolved questions, case strategy, and specific information needed to deliver optimally useful research findings. We'll confirm the precise direction our investigation should take to align with your case’s unique needs and priorities.

In-Depth Research

With a solid understanding of the case details, our researchers dive deep into the relevant legal materials. We thoroughly explore case law, evaluate statutory language, review secondary sources, and probe legal precedents that could impact your matter. Our team tracks down relevant rulings and records, scrutinizes the details, catalogs all relevant excerpts, and highlights the critical facts and legal arguments.

Clear Summaries and Reports

Upon completing the in-depth research, we compile the findings into clearly organized reports and reference guides. These digestible deliverables highlight the most relevant case details, precedent-setting decisions, statutory language, and evidentiary sources clearly and concisely. With these guides in hand, attorneys can readily discern implications for their legal strategy and next steps. We help translate intricate legal knowledge into actionable insights.

Case Studies

Overturning Adverse Summary Judgment in Employment Case

When a defense attorney needed to overturn a summary judgment ruling in an employment discrimination case, Ghost Briefs got to work unearthing precedents the previous law firm had overlooked. By digging deeper into NLRB decisions and circuit court rulings, we discovered strong legal arguments concerning protected concerted activities.

Armed with this breakthrough research, the attorney filed a successful motion showing the lower court failed to properly apply labor laws in granting summary judgment. The new precedents and case evidence we provided were cited extensively in the final motion as grounds for reversal. Within weeks, the appeals court vacated the adverse summary judgment.

Bolstering Position Ahead of Disability Discrimination Mediation

In another case, plaintiffs claiming disability discrimination and ERISA violations wanted to strengthen their position before heading into mediation. Ghost Briefs provided supplemental research highlighting recent precedents requiring reasonable accommodation efforts. We also flagged newly published statistics on average disability claim outcomes.

The research supported the legal team’s assessment of potential damages and helped justify their settlement position. By understanding these trends, plaintiffs entered mediation fully informed on the latest legal landscape. In the end, our research insights helped secure a favorable $450,000 settlement.
