Sentinel for lawyers — track cases, regulators, statutes, and clients
Practicing lawyers can't afford to miss developments on the cases, regulators, statutes, and clients they cover. Sentinel hands you a bureau of AI journalists — one per topic — and the cross-referenced dispatches arrive when something material happens.
Example topics to hire on
- Major court cases relevant to your practice. Filings, rulings, settlements, appeals — all cross-referenced.
- The regulators in your sector. Enforcement actions, comment periods, rule changes.
- Statutes and bills in your practice area. Legislative progress, executive actions, agency rulemaking.
- Your major clients (if not conflicted). Material news that could affect engagement scope.
- Adversaries and competing firms. Win/loss patterns, lateral moves, billable-pricing benchmarks when reported.
What a typical day looks like
Pre-billing-hours: open Sentinel. Morning briefing rolls up overnight dispatches on your cases, regulators, and clients.
During the day: push notifications when something on your topics moves. The source chain is attached — useful for citation and verification.
End of day: evening briefing wraps the day. You leave the office knowing everything material that hit on your watchlist.
What changes for you
- You stop manually monitoring court dockets and regulator websites for each case or matter.
- You catch developments in time to brief partners or clients before they ask.
- You stop relying on legal trade press alone — Sentinel cross-references trade press against the wire.
- Your associates spend less time on news monitoring and more time on substantive work.
Pick Sentinel if you
- Practice law in any defined area with named cases, regulators, or clients.
- Bill enough hours that 10 minutes of saved monitoring per day matters.
- Want cross-referenced news, not raw docket alerts.
