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
