Popis: Based on the standard model (SM) of particle physics, we study the decays $\Lambda_b \to \Lambda \ell^+ \ell^-$ in light of the available inputs from lattice and the data from LHCb. We fit the form-factors of this decay mode using the available theory and experimental inputs after defining different fit scenarios and checking their consistencies. The theory inputs include the relations between the form-factors in heavy quark effective theory (HQET) and soft collinear effective theory (SCET) at the endpoints of di-lepton invariant mass squared $q^2$. Utilizing the fit results, we have predicted a few observables related to this mode. We have also predicted the observable $R_{\Lambda} = Br(\Lambda_b \to \Lambda \ell_i^+\ell_i^- )/Br(\Lambda_b \to \Lambda \ell_j^+\ell_j^-)$ where $\ell_{i}$ and $\ell_j$ are charged leptons of different generations ($i \ne j$). At the moment, we do not observe noticeable differences in the extracted values of the observables in fully data-driven and SM like fit scenarios.
