JuriOS is a Canadian company, built by people who came from legal accounting, law firm operations, and software engineering — and who found themselves, again and again, watching lawyers work around the same avoidable problems. We decided to fix them.
In 2019, our co-founder Maya Osei was working as a practice management consultant — helping small Canadian law firms configure PCLaw, train staff, and manage migrations. She watched the same thing happen at firm after firm: brilliant lawyers spending Thursday afternoons manually reconciling trust accounts, not because the task was complex, but because the software made it hard.
The breaking point was a family law solo practitioner in Mississauga. A Law Society audit flagged a discrepancy in his trust reconciliation — a $214 difference that turned out to be a PCLaw rounding error in how it handled partial disbursements. It wasn't his mistake. The software made it. The audit process took four months. The anxiety it caused him was real and completely preventable.
Maya called our other co-founder, Daniel Park, who had spent six years building financial infrastructure for Canadian fintech companies. He had the same reaction she did: this should not be a hard problem. The data exists. The rules are published. The reconciliation math is mechanical. Why does it require manual intervention every single month?
They spent 18 months talking to Canadian lawyers before writing a line of product code. One hundred and twelve conversations, across Ontario, BC, Alberta, and Nova Scotia. Solo practitioners, 2-lawyer firms, 8-lawyer firms. Family law, real estate, wills and estates, immigration, corporate. Every one of them had the same list of frustrations with different software names on top.
JuriOS shipped its first beta in March 2023. By the end of that year, 140 Canadian firms were billing from it. We haven't missed a monthly trust reconciliation for any of them. That record means everything to us — because we know what it means to the lawyers depending on it.
We are a Canadian company. Our team is in Toronto and Vancouver. Our data never leaves Canada. Our compliance updates are written by people who have read the Law Society rules, not people who adapted rules from another jurisdiction. This is not a selling point for us — it's a baseline requirement we set for ourselves before we built the first feature.
"Every Canadian law firm deserves software that respects how they work, complies with their Law Society, and gets out of the way so they can practice law."
Trust accounting errors have professional consequences. We don't make claims we can't back with specifics. Every feature we ship has been verified against the actual Law Society rules it's supposed to address. When we say our 3-way reconciliation is automated, we mean every edge case too.
We publish our pricing. We publish our uptime. We tell you exactly what happens to your data if you cancel. We tell you what migrates and what doesn't before you start. If a comparison page on our site marks something as "Equal" for a competitor, it means it. We don't build marketing documents.
LSO, LSBC, LSA — these are not localizations of American rules. They are distinct frameworks that require distinct implementations. Our compliance updates are written by people who read the Law Society notices directly. Canada is not a secondary market to us. It's the only market we built for.
We have a product council of 12 active JuriOS users — lawyers and paralegals — who review every major feature before it ships. Not to validate our assumptions. To correct them. The people who understand legal workflows better than any software engineer are the lawyers using the software every day. We take instructions from them.
We hire people who understand the problem before we hire people who can build the solution. Half our team has worked inside law firms. The other half builds financial infrastructure.

Canadian investors who believe legal tech should serve lawyers, not the other way around. We are not optimizing for growth at the expense of trust.
We've raised $12M CAD from Canadian institutional investors. We're not disclosing names at their request, but we're happy to discuss our cap table with serious enterprise prospects.
