London, 12 February 2025 – Philip Young, co-founder of Garfield AI, today presented the SRA-regulated legal AI platform at the prestigious TCC AI conference "Revolutionising Dispute Resolution - the use of AI in litigation and the legal profession."
Pioneering AI in Legal Services
The presentation at the Technology and Construction Court's specialist conference was another chance to showcase Garfield AI, the world's first SRA-regulated AI-powered litigation assistant. The platform, which automates the small claims court process for businesses pursuing unpaid debts, was demoed to an audience of leading construction law practitioners, judges, and legal technology experts.
"The construction industry faces unique challenges with payment disputes and debt recovery," said Philip Young, CEO and co-founder of Garfield AI. "Our presentation demonstrated how AI can dramatically reduce the time and cost barriers that prevent SMEs from pursuing legitimate claims, particularly in sectors like construction where payment delays are endemic".
Transforming Dispute Resolution
During the conference, Young and Long demonstrated how Garfield AI's platform:
- Automates complex legal processes - From drafting letters before action to preparing court bundles
- Reduces costs by up to 90% - Making legal action viable for claims previously uneconomical to pursue
- Accelerates claim resolution - Cutting typical timeframes from months to weeks
- Ensures compliance - Following Civil Procedure Rules with AI-powered precision
- Democratises access to justice - Enabling SMEs to pursue claims without expensive legal representation
Industry Reception and Future Impact
The presentation received significant interest from conference attendees, with many construction law professionals recognising the potential for AI to address longstanding issues in the sector. Construction disputes, particularly around payment and defects, represent a substantial portion of small claims court cases in England and Wales.
Daniel Long, CTO and co-founder, emphasised the technical innovation behind the platform: "We've built a hybrid system that combines state-of-the-art LLMs with a robust expert system based on legal best practices. This approach solves for the risk of AI hallucinations while ensuring our platform can intelligently guide users through the entire litigation journey with accuracy and reliability."
