Answers grounded in real legal sources, not the open web

Overview

Research

Legal research demands answers grounded in real, authoritative sources — laws, decisions, contracts, and legal documents from around the world — rather than the open web. Research is powered by the Blackstone Graph, a living, international legal knowledge graph with an open schema, built for humans and agents alike.

Use cases

  • Authoritative legal sources

    Legal research demands answers grounded in real, authoritative sources — laws, decisions, contracts, and legal documents from around the world — rather than the open web.

  • Knowledge graph retrieval

    Research is powered by the Blackstone Graph — a living, international legal knowledge graph with an open schema, covering every major civil and common law jurisdiction.

  • For humans and agents

    Built agent-facing from day one, with direct API and MCP access, so both lawyers and agents can ground their work in real legal data.

  • Authoritative over generic

    A living network of laws, cases, people, and entities — not scraped web pages.

    Unlike previous attempts at modeling law, Blackstone considers the fundamental atoms of the world of law to be people, places, and instruments, not legal norms alone. Law is a process that operates on the world; the graph models that world structurally and leaves normative interpretation to lawyers and agents.

    Research delivers answers grounded in real legal sources — the culmination of work to make law and data get along.

  • International coverage

    Covers every major civil and common law jurisdiction.

    To build Blackstone, we indexed over 400 data sources across the US, UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, Singapore, and EU — standardized to minimize loss of valuable distinctions.

    Blackstone’s schema supports common, civil, mixed, and tribal legal systems regardless of language and jurisdictional peculiarities, and will be interoperable with popular legal ontologies and formats including Akoma Ntoso (AKN), FOLIO, and LMSS.

  • Built for humans and agents

    Agent-facing and open from day one — with API access and MCP at release.

    Instead of querying a search box alone, agents can make API requests, speak to MCP servers, and grep file systems — grounding their work in structured legal data.

    We expect to release the Blackstone Graph through the Beta Program in the coming months, including the Research platform that puts the full stack in front of end users for the first time.
