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.
Is the work confidential?
Yes. All client information is treated as confidential. A mutual NDA is available on request and may be executed before intake.
