Searching law firms... Forum

Does anyone know of a way to search for cases being brought by an individual firm (example: search for cases brought by the Washington office of Skadden)? Westlaw/Lexis don't seem to have that function (or, at least, not that I could see). Any websites out there that can do this?

Anyone have thoughts on this?

look up partners at the office you are interested in and then do a search using the attorney parameter in westlaw or lexis (I think they both have this feature, but I know one of them does).

Lexis Terms and Connectors:

COUNSEL(Skadden)

You can also date restrict.

Save as an alert if you want to keep up to date.

If you are just looking for plaintiff side: COUNSEL(Skadden w/s "for plaintiff") will help you get there, but it's not perfect. You might try w/5 words to narrow it, but the counting in the counsel field is a bit off.

Genius! I didn't even think of this! Thanks!
