OUR STORY
The vast majority of law firms are small. Enterprise AI legal tools are built for BigLaw. We built Juris for everyone else.
When the 2024 BCSC decision landed, it sent a chill through Canadian practice. A lawyer had filed AI-hallucinated citations and faced sanctions. It was not the last case. The risk was real, and every lawyer who used AI felt it.
Enterprise AI legal platforms were built for BigLaw. Their pricing, their onboarding, their support model: none of it fits a 2-person litigation or immigration boutique, or a solo practitioner in Calgary.
Traditional practice software is expensive and ships no meaningful AI. Generic AI tools have no verified legal-source access, no privilege protection, and no verification workflow. Lawyers were trapped between expensive compliance and dangerous convenience.
Verified
Every citation Sage gives you is linked to its source, and anything it can’t verify is flagged
Source: Built-in verification
Private
Your data is encrypted, isolated per firm, never used to train AI, and never sold
Source: Confidential by design
Per-firm
Schema-per-tenant isolation, mandatory two-factor authentication, and privilege-aware AI
Source: Security by design
Every design decision in Juris has a specific reason. Here are the ones that matter.
Schema-per-tenant isolation
Legal data is uniquely sensitive. A shared database means a software bug could expose one firm's client files to another. We eliminated that possibility in the architecture itself.
Privilege exclusion at the data layer
Prompt-level instructions ("don't use privileged documents") can fail. Database-level exclusion cannot. Flagged documents are filtered in the SQL query before Sage retrieves anything.
Citation verification against authoritative sources
After Zhang v. Chen, we decided optional verification was not enough. Sage checks its citations against authoritative legal sources, links you to each one, and clearly flags anything it cannot verify, so you never unknowingly rely on a case that may not exist. You still confirm before filing, and you are never guessing.
Your data is never a dataset
Many AI tools quietly use what you put in to improve their models. We do not. Your client files are never used to train AI, never sold, and never handed to advertisers. They exist only to do the work you asked for, inside your firm.
Everything included, per lawyer
Add-on pricing makes firms choose which lawyers get the useful parts. On Juris every paid plan includes everything, lawyers are priced one simple rate each, and support staff seats are free.
Documents that sound like you
AI-drafted briefs that sound like a generic LLM are a tell. Lawyers have a voice, built over years of filings, rulings, and correspondence. Juris learns it. Upload previous work and Sage drafts in your voice, not ours.
Practice before you perform
Oral argument is a skill. It degrades without practice. A simulated bench that asks the questions you are not prepared for, before you face a real one, is professional development you can do at your desk.
An analyst and an opponent, in the case file
A research assistant that only finds cases is a library. Juris lets you switch Sage into analysis mode (strengths, weaknesses and the evidence you still need), investigative mode (gaps, contradictions and opportunities), or opposing counsel mode (the other side's best attack on your case), without leaving the case file.
THE NAME
Juris is Latin, the genitive of ius: law, right, justice. It is the root of jurisdiction, jurisprudence, and jury, the oldest word for what a lawyer actually does: hold the line on what is lawful, and what is right.
We chose it deliberately. A tool that handles privileged client work should be named in the language of the law, not the language of tech.
And we named the assistant Sage, an owl, because wisdom is knowing what you don't know. Juris holds the matter together; Sage surfaces the cases, the contradictions, and the gaps; you do the lawyering.
Juris is operated by Kwata Team, based in Alberta, Canada. We started by building for Canadian firms, and Juris now serves lawyers across practice areas and jurisdictions, grounding research in the firm's own country of practice, with the data residency and professional obligations of legal work in mind.
We are a small team. We are not a VC-funded startup racing to enterprise. We are building the tool we would want if we practised law.
