You’ve found a builder. Or are interested in a franchise. Maybe you’re looking at investing in a small company. Maybe you’re about to drop a portion of your life savings on a retirement plan. Whatever the reason, due diligence as an individual can seem overwhelming.

We’ve taken the time and complexity out of one part of your due diligence process. Searching the litigation history of a company can be an onerous task, especially if you’re not sure what you’re looking for and if a case exists. Some court search providers will manually search the courts themselves (you can do this for free!) meaning they will miss out on historic records. Others will apply for the court history directly with the courts, costing you hundreds of dollars and will not cover many courts. Other court search providers require you to call ahead, set up an account, use a clunky search form, or even require a case number to find records.

DATAV3 has modernised and simplified litigation searches. No phone calls, no manual searching, no clunky forms. All you need to get started is your email address and the ACN of the company you want to search. You can find the ACN here (for help on how to use ASIC’s website to find the ACN, visit our blog post here).

When you enter in the ACN, a clean, easy-to-read report will be generated of filing records and hearing dates. You can print it, save it to your computer or send it on to your lawyer to continue your due diligence process and investigate what these cases were about.

The best bit? You can see how many results* there are before proceeding to payment. This means if there are zero results, you don’t have to pay a cent.

*Results are capped at 10 cases and cover what was collected in the last seven years. Most searches on small contractors and businesses generate less than 10 results. For more thorough due diligence, for cases that occurred more than seven years ago, or for searching large companies, subscribe to one of our plans below.

For professionals

This suits professionals who need to perform a one-off litigation search. If you need more access or multiple accounts, we recommend you sign up to one of our plans below (AI is coming soon - join our waitlist).

Audit trails are also available for when there are zero results (evidence that a search was performed is important). Please contact us if you require audit trails as part of your due diligence process.
