Goodwill and Intangible Assets
Goodwill
The carrying amount of goodwill was $5.9 million at both December 31, 2025 and 2024. No impairment of goodwill was identified during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.
Primary Law
On August 17, 2023, the Company executed a five-year $14.0 million licensing agreement with Fastcase, Inc. (“Fastcase”), whereby the Company received a perpetual license of Fastcase’s library of U.S. case law, statutes, regulations and court rules (collectively “primary law”). The Company anticipated integrating primary law into its product offerings to automate drafting of legal documents and research memos and assist lawyers in identifying potential legal claims and defenses from new and historical case law, statutes, regulations and court rulings. Fastcase will provide the Company with regular data updates during the initial term. After the initial term, the Company will have an option to renew the agreement for an additional five-year term, following which the Company will then have the option to renew the agreement for an unlimited number of successive one-year renewal periods. The agreement will continue to automatically renew until terminated by either party with 60 days’ notice. During all renewal periods, Fastcase will continue to provide regular data updates. In accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles— Goodwill and Other, the data obtained was classified as an intangible asset.
During the fourth quarter of the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company identified a triggering event related to the primary law intangible asset and the capitalized software development costs associated with the integration of the primary law intangible asset into the Company’s product offerings, as it was no longer probable of being completed. The fair value of the primary law intangible asset and its related capitalized development costs was determined to be zero as no future cash flows were identified. The Company recorded a full non-cash impairment charge on the primary law intangible asset of $14.0 million and also recorded a $1.2 million non-cash impairment charge related to all capitalized software development costs associated with the integration. The Company recorded no impairment charges in the year ended December 31, 2025.
