The Challenge

Why Legal & Compliance needs residential proxies

Court & Regulatory Portals Are Geo-Locked

Court systems, regulators, and public registries vary by jurisdiction and often serve different content based on visitor geography. Building a global view requires residential IPs in each target country.

Aggressive Bot Detection on Public Records

Despite being public, court systems and regulatory portals throttle automated traffic aggressively to deter scraping. Residential IPs look like genuine researcher access and reduce friction.

High-Cadence Compliance Monitoring

Sanctions lists, debarment registries, and litigation feeds change continuously. Compliance platforms need refresh cycles measured in minutes, not hours, across hundreds of sources.

Audit Trail and Defensibility

Legal workflows require defensible evidence: timestamps, source URLs, raw HTML, and chain-of-custody for records. Workflows need audit-grade traffic logs and exportable artifacts.
