Introduction: Why Traditional Background Verification Isn’t Enough
In India’s fast-moving business environment, background verification has become a standard practice for hiring, vendor onboarding, and client partnerships. Yet, traditional background verification (BGV) tools often stop at identity checks, employment history, and basic criminal records. The missing piece? Litigation checks and legal due diligence.
Without a structured legal check report, businesses risk overlooking pending cases, regulatory disputes, or hidden liabilities that can damage reputation, finances, and compliance. This is where AI-powered AI powered legal due diligence changes the game. Leading the transformation is LIBIL™ by Legitquest, an enterprise-ready platform designed to bring real-time litigation risk assessment into the core of background verification.
Why Traditional BGV Falls Short in Risk Management
Traditional BGV is designed to verify credentials, not uncover hidden risks. That means organizations may:
- Confirm identity, education, and past employment.
- Run basic address or criminal checks.
- But miss court disputes, regulatory violations, or asset-related litigations.
This gap creates exposure in compliance and risk management, especially for regulated industries like banking, fintech, real estate, and healthcare. In today’s environment, legal risk management isn’t optional, it's essential.

The Role of AI in Litigation Risk Assessment
