Known-litigator screening

How Landing Zone screens contacts against known-litigator lists, and what that screening does and does not tell you.

Some phone numbers belong to people or firms known for repeatedly filing lawsuits over telephone outreach. Known-litigator screening checks your contacts against lists of those numbers before you message or call them, so you can avoid the audiences most likely to turn one send into a legal dispute.

How it works in Landing Zone

DNC & Litigator Scrub screens contacts against known-litigator lists that are imported and maintained in your workspace. When a number matches, it is suppressed for SMS and calls, and the reason is recorded with the entry.

Screening results — including the reason each number was flagged — are available to review and export. See Review screening results for the walkthrough, and Suppression lists for how a litigator match is enforced afterward.

What it does not do

Known-litigator screening reduces your exposure to serial-litigation risk. It does not eliminate it, and it is not a legal determination about any number — matched or unmatched.

Your responsibilities

  • Keep the litigator data in your workspace current — screening is only as good as the lists it checks.
  • Re-screen audiences before sending rather than relying on old results; see How to review a campaign before sending.
  • Treat litigator screening as one layer among several, alongside DNC screening, consent records, and opt-out handling — not as a substitute for any of them.
