GSI's Precedent Authority Offers New Practice Areas

GSI has enhanced its industry-leading Precedent Authority database, making this comprehensive collection an even more valuable resource. Already the most complete repository of precedents in the industry, the newly added practice areas will improve your workflow and help you pinpoint the information you need.

Precedent Authority offers an unmatched collection of up-to-date agreements, documents and contracts relevant to your practice. It is the premier destination for conducting focused research on the documents you need the most every day.

Precedent Authority gives you access to a library of over two million documents filed with the SEC, dating back to 2000 in the following practice areas:

  • Bankruptcy
  • Business Organization
  • Capital Markets
  • Corporate Communications
  • Employment
  • Intellectual Property
  • Investment Management
  • Mergers & Acquisitions
  • Private Equity
  • Real Property
  • Structured Finance
  • Tax
Because Precedent Authority focuses on the specific title, clause and language associated with the document, it does not matter whether the document was filed as an exhibit to Form S-4, 13D or 10-K. LIVEDGAR searches across all form types to return all applicable search results. This innovative functionality far surpasses any similar offering in the industry, ensuring that you have the most exhaustive search results available.


The Document Search page of the Precedent Authority database allows you to specify the practice area of interest by simply using a drop-down menu. Once the practice area is selected, you can then choose from a check-box list of documents to customize the search to focus only on the category or categories of interest.

You can leverage the Document Title, Clause Title, and Defined Terms fields to locate language that would be included in the body of the document. The Fuzzy Search Logic feature directs LIVEDGAR to find similar documents based on your input even if it contains slightly different titles, clauses or definitions.

You may also search for specific pieces such as clauses or defined terms. The Clause and Defined terms Search links operate in a similar manner, but the results show the valid clauses or defined terms in their entirety rather than as a part of a larger document.

As always, you can enter additional search criteria such as company name, free text, law firm, SIC and net income to further narrow your search. Also unique to this database is the ability to define the governing law so you can easily pull up examples of agreements drafted to meet the requirements of any specific state or jurisdiction.

Precedent Authority is part of LIVEDGAR’s Value-Added Content and there may be additional charges for using this database. To find out more about the terms of your firm’s agreement and LIVEDGAR’s Value- Added Content, please contact GSI at 800.669.1154.
