Bharat.Law has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with National Law University Delhi (NLU Delhi) to deploy its legal AI platform – NyaI™ across the university and train the next generation of lawyers in the appropriate, competent and ethical use of artificial intelligence.
The partnership also aims to develop open, India-specific standards and benchmarks to assess both legal AI systems and the professionals using them, making it a first-of-its-kind collaboration between a National Law University and a legal technology provider focused on developing verifiable AI for the Indian legal sector.
Prof. (Dr.) Risham Garg, Professor of Law & Registrar, NLU Delhi, said the university’s existing focus on legal technology made the partnership a natural fit. “We are moving towards integration and development of legal technology,” Garg said, adding that the university has already been deploying AI resources and working with legal technology startups.
The Bharat.Law platform will be deployed across the university for students and faculty, with the rollout expected to begin within a week.
“This tool will be deployed all across the university, all faculty members, all students, and it will be useful for everybody,” Garg said.
The university also plans to introduce training and certification around the use of AI in legal work. Garg said NLU Delhi is preparing a dedicated standard operating procedure for responsible AI use.
“We are in the process of preparing an internal SOP for ethical use of AI which we will be deploying,” he said.
Nimit Kumar, founder & CEO, Bharat.Law said the partnership is intended to address a fundamental challenge in legal AI verification.
“The next leap in legal AI will be through systems that can generate outcomes faster – with complete verifiability and clarity. This principle is fundamental to how we have built NyaI™, our Verifiable Legal Intelligence Architecture. In law, an AI-generated answer or draft is only useful if a lawyer can verify it, exercise professional judgment over it, and rely on it in real legal work.
The generation entering the profession today has an extraordinary opportunity to compress the legal lifecycle using AI. But using these systems competently and responsibly will itself become a core professional skill. Our partnership with NLU Delhi is about building that capability early and working together on the benchmarks, standards and certification needed for responsible, verifiable legal AI in India,” said Kumar.
