SRA authorises first AI-driven law firm to provide regulated legal services
The Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) has authorised Garfield.Law Ltd as the first purely AI-driven law firm to provide regulated legal services in England and Wales. The firm will use AI-powered litigation assistance for debt recovery through small claims court. The SRA implemented specific oversight measures including quality control processes, confidentiality safeguards and protection against AI hallucinations. Named regulated solicitors retain accountability for professional standards, with mandatory insurance requirements applying.
