Track legal risks and litigation threats using Bright Data, OpenRouter and Google Sheets

Description

This workflow automatically monitors companies across courts, regulators, and jurisdictions to detect legal risk signals early. It helps legal, compliance, and risk teams stay ahead of litigation threats without manually scanning dozens of public sources.

Overview

This workflow scrapes court records, regulatory filings, and legal news using Bright Data, then uses AI to classify, score, and cluster legal events by jurisdiction and topic. It filters noise, identifies high-risk cases, and generates executive-ready intelligence — including High-Risk Escalation Alerts and Litigation Monitoring Briefs — logged directly into Google Sheets dashboards.

Bright Data: For scraping court records, regulatory sources, and legal news without getting blocked.
