- Garfield AI, the first AI-based law firm to receive regulatory approval in the UK, has won its first court trial.

- The AI legal assistant handled pre-action correspondence, court proceedings, counterclaims, and trial preparation without human intervention.
- The success in court demonstrates the capability of AI-assisted legal services to enforce rights in a cost-effective and accessible manner, especially for small claims.
- The victory is viewed as a proof point for the usefulness of regulated AI-powered legal services in the real world amidst potential legal sector transformation.
