Legal LLM/AI Fails For One Reason: The Data Is Wrong

Entropy Partners started as a simple conversation about renting a house. It turned into a focused attempt to fix the one thing that quietly breaks most legal AI systems: the data they learn from.

Most models are trained on case law archives and static statutes. Good for research, bad for live conversations. We work with practicing lawyers to create data that reflects real client questions, real edge cases, and the mistakes that should never make it into production. We do not just teach AI what is correct; we teach it what not to say.

Why Legal AI Needs Different Data

Legal chatbots don’t usually fail in obvious ways. They fail in subtle ones: fictional cases, mixed-up jurisdictions, confident answers that sound right until a lawyer looks closely. That happens because the training data was never designed for conversational use.

What We Do Differently

We Start With Real Lawyers

We don’t scrape court databases and call it training data. We talk to practicing attorneys about the questions clients actually ask and the mistakes they see repeatedly in real matters.

We Teach AI What Not to Say

For every correct answer, we include carefully crafted wrong answers: the plausible hallucinations your model is likely to produce. This narrows the search space and cuts down confident-but-wrong outputs.

We Custom-Build, Not Cookie-Cutter

Need a specific jurisdiction, practice area, or language pair? We build with your lawyers and validate to your standards instead of forcing you into a generic off-the-shelf dataset.

How We Deliver

step 1

Scope

Tell us your jurisdiction(s), practice area, and target tasks/models.

  • Jurisdictions: UAE Tax and Jordanian Tax Law available now; any country on request.
  • Practice area: Tax now, others on request.
  • Targets: eval tasks (e.g., LegalBench-style), downstream apps, model families.
  • Size/splits: minimum 5,000 rows; train/test with lawyer-verified holdout.
step 2

Licensing & Budget

We align on rights and price band before work begins.

  • License options:
    • Non-exclusive: for internal model training; no redistribution.
    • Exclusive: category/jurisdiction exclusivity available at a premium.
  • Pricing: ranges 5.98–100$+ based on jurisdiction, exclusivity, scope, and reviewer seniority (we’ll agree the unit — per row/example or per pack).
  • Add-ons: custom metadata, deeper reviews, or domain specialists priced separately.
  • Protections: terms favoring our IP and business; NDA available on request.
Step 3

Authoring & Research

We identify AI weak points with lawyers and create varied scenario Q&A with explicit correct/incorrect examples.

  • Lawyer interviews to map failure modes; adversarial and near-miss variants.
  • Imaginary parties; real law application grounded in public sources.
Step 4

IRAC & Metadata

Issue, Rule, Application, Conclusion with custom labels as needed.

  • Core fields: IRAC, citations, jurisdiction, split.
  • Negotiable extras: difficulty tiers, statute IDs, tagging taxonomies, dates, provenance notes.
Step 5

Legal QA

Double-checked by lawyers; a held-out test set includes at least one variation per law/case check.

  • Review led by Iyad Barakat and team.
  • Explicit labeling of correct vs. incorrect reasoning for robust evaluation.
Step 6

Delivery

JSONL or CSV to your spec. Minimum dataset: 5,000 rows.

  • Schema doc + sample rows included.
  • Provenance and audit notes supplied where applicable.
Step 7

Payment & Milestones

Milestone-based with an upfront deposit.

  • Kickoff: deposit & scope freeze.
  • Mid-project sample drop for feedback.
  • Final delivery & acceptance window; materials released on completion.
Step 8

Timeline

Typical custom delivery ~3 months for the minimum scope.

Delivery Timeline

Milestone-based delivery. Initial 15-20% deposit. Each acceptance unlocks the next deliverable.

What This Actually Changes

Customers use our datasets to move from “interesting prototype” to systems their legal teams can actually trust.

Higher Accuracy

Models trained on our data see substantial accuracy gains on real-world legal questions compared to generic web or case-law-only corpora.

Fewer Hallucinations

Strategic wrong answers teach the model to recognize and avoid subtle legal mistakes instead of generating them confidently.

Audit-Ready Provenance

Attorney validation, citations, and metadata give you the documentation your compliance and legal teams demand.
