[Aug 20, 2025] Expanded Litigation Fields

Litigation & Bankruptcy Search via /docket_searches now includes:

  • match_level: how closely a party in the docket matches with the business legal name (EXACT or SIMILAR)
  • risk_level: Baselayer's internal risk classification of each docket (high, medium, low, no_risk)
  • normalized_status: Baselayer's normalization of the docket status (open or closed)
    • This field is conservative by design, and will only mark a docket as closed when confirmed

These fields improve risk classification, grouping across jurisdictions, and will enable financial institutions to automate more decisions accurately.

For further details you can review our Best Practices guide or contact your Baselayer representative.
