Ermos AI for research across your firm’s knowledge.

The most valuable research database your firm owns is not a subscription: it is decades of your own advices, precedents and matter files, currently searchable only through the memory of your longest serving partners. An Ermos unit turns that archive into something the whole firm can interrogate, without a page of it leaving the building.

How it works on the unit

1
Index the archive

Advices, precedents, research memos and matter files are indexed on the unit, with access controls mirroring your firm's.

2
Ask what the firm knows

Has the firm advised on this point before, how did we approach this clause in past deals, what did we say about this regulator's position in 2023.

3
Get cited answers

Responses point to the documents they came from, so the researcher lands on the right advice instead of the right guess.

4
Verify against primary sources

Firm knowledge accelerates research; it does not replace checking the current law. Lawyers verify against primary sources before advising.

What this is and is not

This is research across your own knowledge: institutional memory, precedent positions, past approaches. It complements your legal research subscriptions rather than replacing them; the law changes, and current authorities are checked in the usual places. What the unit ends is the situation where the firm's best thinking is locked inside individual matter folders and departing partners.

The compounding part

Every advice added to the archive makes the next answer better, and ErmosIQ keeps tuning retrieval to how your firm asks. It is the piece of AI value that per-seat cloud tools structurally cannot offer, because it depends on your data staying in one place you control.

Common questions

Is this a replacement for legal research platforms?
No. It is research across your firm's own advices and precedents, complementing subscriptions that cover current law. Lawyers verify against primary sources as they always have.
How is access controlled?
Access on the unit mirrors your firm's existing controls, so ethical walls and matter restrictions carry across. Everything stays on hardware in your office.
What happens to this knowledge if we leave Ermos?
Your documents are yours throughout and leave with you. Returned hardware is cryptographically wiped, and nothing your firm's archive taught the unit is reused elsewhere.
