Privacy by architecture
If contract text leaves a lawyer's machine, that's not a privacy policy problem — it's an architecture problem. We chose the harder path.
Started by one founder with a story. Hardened into a production tool by a team of engineers, senior contracts lawyers, and security specialists. Runs entirely on your machine.

Three principles every JurisAi feature is measured against. If a proposal breaks one of these, it doesn't ship.
If contract text leaves a lawyer's machine, that's not a privacy policy problem — it's an architecture problem. We chose the harder path.
Every prompt the AI uses was written by a senior contracts lawyer. No generic "helpful assistant" framing. Mitigations are mandatory.
We refuse to build a separate app. Word is where contracts are drafted. JurisAi has to meet lawyers there — not the other way around.
JurisAi was founded by Cjay — a builder who turned a personal experience with the legal system into a production-grade tool for lawyers. He's joined by Yaron Hersh as CTO, who architects the security backbone, and senior contracts lawyer Emma, who writes every prompt and guardrail.
Founder
Had the idea while helping the legal team defend his father-in-law, Joseph Davidson, against a wrongful charge. Built the first prototype. Now leads the team taking JurisAi to production.
CTO · Security
Architects the security backbone. Every backend safeguard that keeps each lawyer's client data confidential — SOC 2, GDPR, on-device boundaries — is built and audited by him. The reason firms can actually deploy JurisAi.
Senior Contracts Lawyer
Writes every legal prompt and guardrail. Reviews every AI output before it ships. The reason JurisAi suggestions read like a senior lawyer's, not a chatbot's.
Joseph Davidson — Cjay's father-in-law — spent 18 months in a Cyprus prison cell for a crime he didn't commit. Through those months and the year that followed, Cjay sat alongside the legal team, reading evidence and hunting for the contradiction. They found it. Joseph came home — but 18 months of his life were lost to the speed at which humans can read, remember, and connect the dots.
Cjay started building a private tool to do faster what he had been doing manually — search, summarise, find contradictions, surface case law. When Joseph was free, it became clear lawyers in private practice need the same thing. To take it from prototype to product, Cjay assembled a team — Yaron Hersh as CTO, the mastermind behind the security architecture (SOC 2, GDPR, every backend safeguard that keeps a lawyer's client data confidential), senior contracts lawyers (led by Emma) to write the prompts and guardrails, and legal researchers to make sure every reference to case law holds up.
The privacy obsession — never sending a single byte of client matter to a cloud — came from a case where every leaked detail mattered. JurisAi started with one case. It became a serious product because that case taught us what serious means.
Press, partnerships, investor enquiries, or just product questions — we'd rather have a conversation than send you a sales sequence.
