A Personal Note from Vishnu
The vision behind NetBoss Alchemy
With over 25 years at the intersection of legal practice and technology, I've witnessed the legal profession evolve through multiple waves of change — and I've seen how advocates continue to struggle with information overload: navigating thousands of judgments, drafting under relentless deadlines, and preparing for hearings with limited time and resources.
NetBoss Alchemy was born from a simple conviction shaped by decades of practice: technology should strengthen an advocate's judgment, not substitute it. Every feature we build is guided by a single question — does this genuinely help an advocate serve their client better?
My journey spans courtroom practice, cybersecurity, and AI systems. This breadth of experience enables us to design legal intelligence tools that respect the confidentiality and rigor legal work demands, while applying modern AI carefully, responsibly, and in service of real legal practice.
Behind the Scenes
When I step away from day-to-day work, I'm usually studying recent constitutional and appellate court judgments, observing how different jurisdictions respond to evolving legal challenges. I also spend time examining how legal technology is adopted globally and mentoring young lawyers on building sustainable, ethical, and resilient practices. I'm a firm believer that learning never plateaus — especially at the intersection of law and technology, which continues to evolve with every passing year.
My approach to design is shaped by years of legal practice: solutions must be practical, dependable, and built for real-world advocacy. I focus on creating tools that integrate naturally into an advocate's workflow, respect confidentiality by default, and eliminate friction rather than introduce it. Technology should be felt as reliability, not complexity. Simplicity, security, and trust are non-negotiable.
Making legal research faster, more accessible, and more reliable for every advocate.
Ensuring technology upholds client confidentiality and professional responsibility.
Building AI that supports legal judgment without attempting to replace it.
Helping advocates spend more time on advocacy — and less on administrative overhead.
