EXAMPLE SCENARIOS

Intelligence in Practice

The following scenarios are anonymised composites illustrating how GlobalScan's reporting has supported client decisions. No identifying details are included.

MEASURABLE IMPACT

Risk Identified, Before It Became a Liability

Across thousands of engagements, GlobalScan's direct-source intelligence has helped clients make better-informed decisions before exposure became costly. The pattern below reflects the outcomes our reporting typically supports.

60+Jurisdictions Searched Directly at Source
25+Years of Archived Court Record History
24hrStandard Turnaround for Volume Screening
100%Non-AI, Human-Verified Record Retrieval

A due-diligence team avoided a high-risk acquisition after GlobalScan surfaced an unresolved cross-border insolvency history the target had not disclosed.

A financial institution's compliance team escalated a customer relationship to enhanced monitoring after GlobalScan confirmed adverse litigation records missed by automated screening tools.

An employer paused a senior relocation until unresolved employment litigation was fully reconciled, avoiding a contractual and reputational risk.

All scenarios below are anonymised and do not identify any individual, company or matter.

Executive Risk

Senior Executive Appointment

A multinational insurer required a clear view of litigation and regulatory history before confirming a senior appointment spanning two jurisdictions.

GlobalScan retrieved and reconciled court and regulatory records across both jurisdictions, applying AIRP to classify exposure and separate established findings from unverified material.

The client received a structured report distinguishing confirmed history from unresolved items, supporting an informed appointment decision within the required timeframe.

Corporate Due Diligence

Pre-Acquisition Exposure Review

A private equity firm needed litigation and insolvency exposure history for a target company operating across three countries ahead of a proposed acquisition.

Direct-source retrieval across each jurisdiction's court and administrative registries, consolidated into a single reconciled exposure summary.

The firm proceeded with the transaction with a documented understanding of historical litigation exposure, informing final terms.

Screening Onboarding

Cross-Border Candidate Screening

A background-screening provider required confirmation of civil litigation records for a candidate with residency history across two continents.

GlobalScan conducted jurisdiction-specific searches at the source, applying identity-non-confirmatory qualification throughout the process.

The screening provider incorporated a clearly qualified, exposure-classified summary into its own client-facing report.

Financial Crime Compliance

Sanctions-Adjacent Exposure Review

A regional bank's compliance team identified a corporate customer with cross-border operations and needed a clear litigation and regulatory history check across four jurisdictions before continuing the relationship.

GlobalScan retrieved court and regulatory filings directly from source registries in each jurisdiction, applying AIRP to distinguish resolved matters from pending or unverified allegations.

The bank's compliance committee received a reconciled exposure summary that supported a documented, risk-based decision to continue the relationship with enhanced monitoring.

Litigation Funding

Portfolio Risk Assessment

A litigation funder evaluating a portfolio of commercial claims needed independent confirmation of each claimant's prior litigation history across multiple countries before committing capital.

GlobalScan conducted parallel jurisdiction-specific searches and consolidated findings into a single comparative exposure matrix aligned to the funder's underwriting criteria.

The funder was able to prioritise capital allocation across the portfolio based on a consistent, source-verified view of claimant history.

Employment Dispute

Cross-Border Hiring Risk Check

A multinational employer preparing to relocate a senior hire across borders required confirmation of any unresolved employment-related litigation in the candidate's prior jurisdictions.

GlobalScan searched relevant civil and labour court registries directly, applying identity-non-confirmatory qualification and AIRP exposure classification throughout.

The employer proceeded with the relocation supported by a clear, qualified summary that informed onboarding and contractual terms.
