About Us

Legalis Intelligence Advisors is a high-end boutique of highly skilled advisors and strategists providing comprehensive intelligence and litigation consulting from a 360-degree perspective.

There are private investigation firms, and then there are legal intelligence firms. We are the latter. The difference? By blending intelligence tradecraft with legal analysis, we provide comprehensive intelligence, strategic insight, and litigation consulting to law firms looking to bolster their cases. We aren’t dabblers—we provide a deeply thorough risk analysis and set of deliverables that go well beyond a traditional private investigation firm:

  • We utilize a structured approach (Intelligence Cycle) to gathering, analyzing and sharing information essential for informed decision-making. This includes mapping out a detailed collection plan and re-assessing objectives following analysis of the data.
  • Our analytical tradecraft is standardized to provide consistency and our intelligence products are tailored to how your decisionmakers consume and use information
  • Our intelligence reports include psychological profiling, providing predictive analysis to anticipate how your opponents may behave through the course of litigation
  • All our analysis and deliverables go through in-house legal review to ensure compliance with both applicable laws and legal professional responsibility standards, minimizing risk for your firm

With over 30 years of national security experience from the Intelligence Community to Army Special Operations Forces, Shafi Saiduddin retired from the Army and started his own intelligence and litigation consulting firm, Legalis Intelligence Advisors.

With an active law degree of his own, Shafi understands what is required in high-stakes business deals and legal matters and focuses on the facts so you can focus on the law.

We often help clients understand and play all three sides—your side, the opposing counsel side, and the third side. This is where our multidisciplinary perspective brings value. Our unique comfort level working in the complex allows us to play the devil’s advocate and anticipate the enemy’s perspective. We know how to dig below the surface, uncover facts, and identify surprises to bring a deeper context to your case and augment your argument. When winning is everything and anything is possible, we prepare you to play all three sides with an airtight strategy.
