AI-powered arbitrator research · For plaintiff-side securities attorneys

FINRA gives you names. We give you the record.

Upload the arbitrator list FINRA sent you. Our AI has already read every award those arbitrators ever signed. In seconds you have every case, how often they side with claimants, what they award, and the background FINRA never publishes. Panel selection is the most consequential decision in the case. Make it with the full record, read by a machine that never skims.

Plaintiff-side attorneys only. Applications reviewed within one to two business days.

Every FINRA award document since 2003, read by AI, indexed, and cross-referenced. Any missing data is our fault. Bad PDF and OCR data is FINRA's fault.

Not SQL. Not regex. AI.

We unleashed AI on every award FINRA has ever published.

24,845 award documents across two decades, produced by hundreds of panels and offices, no two formatted alike, the older ones scanned paper run through OCR. Pattern matching breaks on page two. A database query cannot read. So every document is read by Claude, Anthropic’s frontier model, the way a good paralegal would read it, if the paralegal never got tired and never skipped a page.

01

It reads the awards

Every award PDF since 2003. The AI finds the panel, the roles, the claims, the dollar amounts and the outcome inside documents whose layout changed a dozen times over twenty years.

02

It parses the disclosures

Your arbitrator list is a PDF of dense disclosure forms. The AI turns each one into structured data: employment, education, prior cases, conflicts, flags.

03

It resolves the names

Robert J. Smith, Bob Smith and R. Smith appear across thousands of awards. The AI recognises them as one arbitrator and links every case to a single profile.

04

It runs the Deep Dive

Thirty-plus public databases searched at once and written up as a dossier: favorability, bias indicators, a strike-or-keep call with reasons, and voir dire questions.

How it works

One upload. The whole panel, on the record.

What used to take a paralegal the better part of a week, the AI does in the time it takes to open a PDF.

01

Upload your arbitrator list

Drop in the PDF FINRA sends you. The AI reads it and extracts every arbitrator name, no manual entry, no typos.

02

The AI builds structured profiles

Each disclosure form is read and parsed by AI into employment history, education, conflicts, and prior cases, then matched to every award the arbitrator ever signed. Win rates and award patterns are computed across the whole database.

03

Search the case history

Every FINRA case they have decided, filterable by outcome, amount, parties, and date. Chair versus panelist. How the decisions have trended.

04

Run a Deep Dive on the ones that matter

The AI searches thirty-plus public databases at once: voter registration, court records, FEC donations, property, bar history, social media. It writes the dossier and makes the strike call, with reasons.

What you get

Two reports. One for every arbitrator, one for the ones that matter.

Included with every upload

“For less than the cost of a Venti Mocha Cookie Crumble Frappuccino, you can do a complete deep dive.”

The Arbitrator Deep Dive™

We do not stop at FINRA. We go find out who they are.

The award record tells you how an arbitrator has ruled. It does not tell you who they are. For the arbitrators that will decide your case, the Deep Dive sends the AI out onto the open web and into the public record: who they gave money to, what they own, who they sit on boards with, what they have said in public, and whether any of it should worry you.

It is the background check a private investigator would run, except it takes minutes, it cites every source, and it ends with a strike-or-keep call instead of a shrug.

See a sample Deep Dive Priced per arbitrator. Run it only on the ones that matter.

What FINRA won't tell you
23.2yrs
of awards, and not one published statistic.

FINRA publishes award documents. That is it. They will not tell you how often an arbitrator sides with claimants, how much they typically award, or whether they have developed a pattern that should concern you. You are expected to read thousands of pages of PDFs and figure it out yourself. We put AI on it instead, and it read all of them.

Read the FINRA analysis
Claimant win rates

Per arbitrator, per case type, computed from every award the AI has read.

Average award size

Dollars awarded against dollars claimed. Punitives, fees, and dissents.

Expunged history

Expungement scrubs BrokerCheck. It does not scrub the award the AI already read.

Community ratings

Anonymous ratings from plaintiff attorneys who have sat across from them.

Excel is not a research tool

Somebody out there is still picking arbitrators off a spreadsheet they typed themselves. That is not research. That is a guess with gridlines.

You know the kind of file. It lives on a shared drive, it holds whatever one firm happened to notice, and every cell in it was typed by a person from memory. Nothing in it can be checked against the actual award documents, because a spreadsheet has no award documents behind it. It is not that it is wrong. It is that nobody can tell when it is.

A spreadsheet is a rumor with formatting. It can only be wrong in ways you cannot see, and the cell that matters is the arbitrator who decides your client’s case. myArbitrator’s AI has read every award FINRA has published since 2003, and every number on the page traces back to a document. There is no comparison. There is not even a category.

Panel selection

Are you ready for the truth about your panel?

Panel selection is one of the most consequential decisions in an arbitration. Most attorneys make it with incomplete information. Walk in with the full record, read by AI, and a dossier on the people who will decide.
