Court records, joined to the companies they name.

Dockets tell you what registries never will: who is suing whom, what judgments exist, and which liens are outstanding. The hard part has always been that court records name parties as free text. Amalgament bridges those names to real registered entities with precision gates, so litigation history shows up on the company profile where it belongs.

What's in the record

• Business litigation dockets with courts, dates, and dispositions
• Judgments and liens as they enter the public record
• Bankruptcy filings on the business side of the docket
• Name-bridge links from case parties to registered entities

Where it comes from

Federal court data and public docket sources, filtered to business matters. Person-level cases are excluded by design; Amalgament indexes businesses, not people.

What people build with it

Due-diligence checks before a deal or a large order, risk models that watch counterparties for new filings, and legal-tech products that need dockets connected to real companies instead of raw name strings.

Common questions

Do you include personal lawsuits or criminal records?

No. Amalgament covers business-level records only. Person-level court data is excluded at ingestion, which also keeps the platform outside consumer-reporting territory.

How reliable is the link between a case and a company?

Party names are bridged to entities through precision-gated matching against strong identifiers. When the evidence is ambiguous, the link is not made; you see the case as a record rather than a false connection.
