Every two rounds (or as soon as he wakes up from Lure), the Case Manager will wrap one Toon into a legal binding, forcing them to take 20 damage for Two Rounds. A new Legal Binding can stack in time with the old one if it managed to hit the same Toon. Legally bound Toons will have a maroon roll of tape on their right wrist. This cheat cannot miss.
The Case Manager will throw an insurance paper at himself and up to two random Cogs, granting them the Insurance Status Effect. Cogs with Insurance are granted 2 rounds of Lure Resistance, standard Manager benefits (immunity to Cease & Desists and Pink Slips), and will heal 50 HP every round. Healing can cause Overcharge (more explained below) with a maximum overheal of 100% the Cog's original HP. Cogs that have been Sued and receive Insurance will have the Sued effect removed, and Cogs that have been Lured for more than two rounds will have that effect reduced to two rounds. He will periodically shift the insurance paper to somebody else after two rounds (or if he is Lured, as soon as he wakes up). Cogs with insurance will have green sparkles floating around their feet. This status effect can stack in duration if it is reapplied to a Cog that already has insurance.
Once Cogs overheal by 50% their original HP, they will become Overcharged. Overcharged Cogs deal 50% more damage and can only be lured for 2 rounds. They will also receive standard Manager benefits (immunity to Sues and Fires).
This cheat will trigger once the Case Manager is the last Manager standing on his side. It will increase the Case Manager's Lure Resistance by 1 round and make him deal 40% more damage.
Manager Synergy Cheats
The Litigation Team has unique benefits where different pairing of managers can completely alter how some cheats and its bonuses function.
Once the Legally Bound Status Effect wears off on any Toon, the Stenographer will use Court Sanction on that Toon, dealing 25 damage and reducing Gag effectiveness by 25%.
When the Scapegoat enters his Enraged Mode, the Case Manager will apply a second pair of Legal Bindings to another Toon. When the Scapegoat puts his Shields Up, the Case Manager applies a second pair of Insurance Plan to other Cogs.
"If you can't bare the loss, don't consider coming back."
"Hmph. Manage with your loss."
Surrender Taunt
"We still have unfinished business."
Friend Request Denials
"How lonely are you to try and friend me?" The Case Manager says.
"You can manage without me," The Case Manager explains. "You have so far."
"Hmph," The Case Manager scoffs.
The Case Manager looks at you with a chilling stare.

Trivia
A case manager is someone who is in charge of all legal info and elements in a case.
The Case Manager rarely speaks, mumbling whenever he uses an attack.
He will only speak when he yells at the Scapegoat, when the player tries to befriend him, and when he wipes out a side of Toons.
The Legal Bindings cheat uses a darkened variant of the Red Tape attack.
The Insurance Plan cheat is similar to the Club President's Tip cheat, due to both using the same sounds and animation.
The Case Manager is the only Litigation Team member who doesn’t have a blue skin tone.
The Case Manager is the first Manager to have "Manager" in its name.
According to a tweet posted on the Corporate Clash Twitter, the Case Manager and the Stenographer ran an insurance company called "A Brief Case of Insurance Company".
This insurance company was one of the seventeen companies that crumbled with the death of the Witness Stand-In.
According to Judy in one of the Directives, the Case Manager has anger issues.
The Case Manager is currently the only Cog whose "murmur" voiceclip uses a different structure.
In addition to being a reference to the shape of his head, the Case Manager's real name (Barry Brief) may be a pun on the phrase 'very brief'.
