Routine legal tasks can quietly drain bandwidth from in-house teams, especially when research demands surge around compliance updates, litigation prep, or complex due diligence. A legal researcher brings structure, speed, and precision to these challenges, allowing your internal counsel to focus on strategy instead of sifting through case law or regulatory frameworks.
What is a legal researcher?
A legal researcher is a professional who investigates and analyses laws, legal precedents, regulations, and case rulings to support legal decision-making. They gather and interpret information to assist lawyers, judges, or legal teams in building cases, writing legal documents, or forming legal opinions.
What do legal researchers do?
Their key responsibilities include:
Analysing statutes, regulations, case law, and legal precedents relevant to specific legal issues or proceedings.
Ensuring all references in legal documents are accurate and properly cited using legal citation standards (e.g., Bluebook).
Tracking updates to laws and regulations that may impact ongoing cases or legal strategies.
Navigating platforms like Westlaw, LexisNexis, or government databases to gather reliable legal information.
Verifying facts related to cases, such as timelines, records, and relevant background information.
Working closely with attorneys, paralegals, and other researchers to align research with case strategies.
