SEC Data for Legal Teams
Omni Datastream gives law firms programmatic access to SEC enforcement actions, filing histories, entity resolution, and compliance-grade event monitoring — all through a single API with full provenance and request traceability.
Why legal teams use Datastream
Enforcement action search
Search and monitor SEC enforcement actions by entity, date range, or source type. Every result carries a trace reference back to the original SEC release.
Filing monitoring
Track 10-K, 10-Q, 8-K, and proxy filings for client companies. Filter by form type, date, or specific exhibits.
Compliance screening
Resolve entities by ticker, CIK, or name and cross-reference against enforcement history, insider transactions, and ownership disclosures.
8-K event alerts
Monitor material events — leadership changes, restatements, M&A announcements — in real time via webhooks or polling.
