Research & Development

Build the future of legal AI with us.

Irys is on a mission to democratize access to legal services. We partner with researchers, data providers, academic institutions, and open-source developers to make that possible.

80% of Americans with legal needs never engage a lawyer.

The legal system is broken — not because lawyers are unavailable, but because the tools, knowledge, and infrastructure that support legal work are locked behind enterprise pricing and closed systems. We are building the open infrastructure that changes this. And we cannot do it alone.

How We Partner

Four ways to work together.

Research Collaboration

Joint research on legal reasoning, latent-space architectures, retrieval-augmented generation for legal text, and AI evaluation methodologies. Our research has been validated by NVIDIA, OpenAI, and DeepMind engineering teams. Publish with us.

Legal reasoning benchmarks and evaluation frameworks

Latent-space simulation for multi-step legal analysis

Hallucination detection and citation grounding systems

Jurisdiction-aware retrieval and cross-reference resolution

Case Law & Statutory Data

We work with legal data providers, bar associations, courts, and government agencies to expand access to case law, statutes, and regulations. If you control or curate legal data, we want to talk.

Federal and state court opinion datasets

Statutory and regulatory code access

Bar association ethics opinions and guidance

International legal data for cross-border coverage

Legal Knowledge Resources

Law libraries, legal publishers, CLEs, and academic institutions — your resources combined with our AI infrastructure can make expert legal knowledge accessible to every practitioner, not just those who can afford enterprise research tools.

Secondary source integration (treatises, practice guides)

CLE content and legal education materials

Law school clinical program partnerships

Legal aid organization knowledge sharing

Open-Source Development

Much of what we build is open source. We believe legal technology infrastructure should be transparent, auditable, and improvable by the community. Contribute to our open-source projects or propose new ones.

Citation verification and validation tools

Legal document parsing and extraction

Court opinion classification and entity recognition

Legal AI evaluation harnesses and benchmarks
