For Law Firms · Tier 1

Identify the unrepresented.
Reach them first.

Three thousand IEEPA cases have been filed at the Court of International Trade. The complex-claims universe contains roughly one hundred and twenty thousand more — and most have never been contacted by counsel.

The Problem

Recovery counsel is hunting blind.

Trade and customs partners know the IEEPA refund opportunity is real. The challenge has never been the legal theory — it has been identifying which importers are exposed, which are eligible for complex claim structures, and which already have outside corporate counsel who would receive an introductory call warmly.

CBP records sit in raw entry-summary form. ImportKey manifests are dense and unsorted. PACER captures only the firms already in litigation. No commercial product synthesizes them. Most firms fall back on referral networks — which is fine until the firm down the block builds a real outreach list.

Each record is built to be actionable on day one.

The Differentiator

Lawyer-to-lawyer, not cold call.

Every Tier 1 record includes the importer's existing outside corporate counsel — the partner most likely to recommend your firm for a specialty matter outside their practice area.

Sourced from SEC filings, PACER appearances, and bar association records. Verified for current representation. Surfaced with direct contact details and LinkedIn profile so outreach is partner-level from the first email.
