Due diligence

Litigation Due Diligence for Vendors, M&A and Lending

Litigation due diligence checks whether a person or company is caught up in court cases before you deal with them, and an MCA search alone will miss it. CLAW combines court and tribunal search across India into one defensible report, so you see the litigation an MCA filing does not show.

MCA search alone is not litigation due diligence

An MCA search shows corporate filings, not court exposure. To know if a counterparty is litigating, you need court and tribunal records, matched to the right entity, with clear limits. Missing this is how risk gets signed off blind.

Court + tribunal search

Search litigation across courts and tribunals, matched by party and company name, to build the picture MCA does not show.

Defensible search report

Produce a report with party mapping, matters found, status and the disclosures that make it defensible.

Entity matching

Name-tolerant matching with clear notes on false positives and negatives, so the report is honest about what it can and cannot confirm.

Coverage across India

Case management and tracking span 8,200+ courts and tribunals; case-law search covers 25 High Courts and the Supreme Court.

Repeatable workflow

Run the same MCA-to-court-to-tribunal workflow every time, so reports are consistent.

Honest limits

Arbitration and unfiled claims will not appear in any court search. CLAW says so, rather than implying total coverage.

Frequently asked questions

What is litigation due diligence?

Checking whether a person or company is involved in court cases, across courts and tribunals, and reporting it defensibly before a transaction, loan or engagement.

Why is MCA search not enough?

MCA shows corporate filings, not court exposure. Litigation due diligence adds court and tribunal search matched to the entity.

What are the limits?

Court search cannot show arbitration or unfiled claims, and name matching has false positives. A good report says so.

Is there a free plan?

Yes. CLAW has a free plan for individual advocates, with Legal GPT, case search, unlimited cases and a daily cause list. Team and firm use is on the paid Premium plan.
