Courts & Companies — News, Search, Tracking
Courtsdesk is the leading provider of integrated Court and Company data to the media, legal and financial sectors.






Over 70% of court cases in the UK and Ireland generate no publicly accessible record. Courtsdesk is building this record, making it accessible for public interest/news outlets, legal services, and financial risk managers.
What we do
Courtsdesk is the news and legal intelligence platform built to bring coverage and structure to the many disparate sources of UK & Irish legal data.
By centralising data and providing tools for easy search and analytics, Courtsdesk supports users in their research, monitoring, KYC, and AML functions.
Our users benefit from access to data from the UK and Irish Upper Courts, Lower Courts, Company Registers, Government Gazettes and more.

What our customers say about us
Courtsdesk has proved to be an essential tool for navigating an unwieldy system. It has helped our journalists to identify key cases that may otherwise have gone unreported and track them through the courts to their conclusion. The daily email listing fresh cases is now part of many of our journalists' daily reading.
