Civil Litigation

What is the Civil Litigation check?​

A Civil Litigation Check identifies any civil legal disputes or court cases involving an individual. This check reviews public records and legal databases to uncover any ongoing or historical lawsuits that may impact a candidate's suitability for a role or their professional reputation.

The purpose of the Civil Litigation Check is to help organisations assess potential legal risks associated with an individual, particularly for roles that require high levels of trust, financial responsibility, or public accountability.

By performing Civil Litigation Checks, organisations can make more informed hiring decisions, ensuring that candidates meet legal and ethical standards. This process helps protect the organisation from reputational and operational risks that could arise from undisclosed legal disputes or liabilities.
