An AI law firm won a court case without human oversight, costing less than $1,000.Summary
In a potential world first, Garfield AI, a UK-regulated AI law firm, secured a victory for freelance HR consultant Tamires Camal Taquidir in an English court. The firm handled the entire pre-trial process, including drafting documents and preparing witness statements, for a fee of approximately £400 ($750). At trial, a junior barrister represented the client, praising the AI's efficiency. The court ruled in Taquidir's favor, ordering the repayment of an unpaid invoice worth nearly £7,000 ($13,200). Co-founder Philip Young described the win as a "landmark moment" for expanding access to justice, arguing that AI makes legal processes more accessible and affordable for individuals and small businesses.
