A former cross-border disputes and deal lawyer who spent seven years at Watson Farley & Williams, with experience across litigation, shipping and trade transactions, technology deals, and as external counsel to a bank, he built Irys to be the tool he wished he had while practicing: an AI that remembers a full matter, drafts inside Microsoft Word, cites real case law, and never trains on privileged client data.
