Frequently asked
Is IRIS a law firm?
No. IRIS is a research service. IRIS does not provide legal advice, does not give a legal opinion, and does not make any recommendation as to how the law applies to the facts.
What sources does IRIS use?
Public and lawfully accessible sources. Corporate registries, court records, regulatory notices, market disclosures, and equivalent primary material. Secondary sources are used only to corroborate and are labelled as such.
What jurisdictions are covered?
Australia is the primary jurisdiction. Other jurisdictions are accepted on a case-by-case basis where reliable sources are accessible.
How is client information handled?
Client and matter information is handled carefully and accessed only by those working on the engagement. A mutual NDA is available on request and may be executed before intake.
Engage IRIS in writing
Work begins with a written scope and a written fee. IRIS accepts instructions from qualified professionals only.
