Family AI

A pioneering triage system for family law issues, developed using the artificial intelligence (AI) expertise of Brighton University and the practice knowledge of law firm Family Law Partners, has won a Business Impact award from Innovate UK

The law firm uses Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP) technology to triage family law clients. It was developed during a two-year partnership between the firm and the university, and has now been used by more than 4,000 people, free of charge, to instruct the firm’s lawyers. Alan Larkin, director, Family Law Partners, said the technology would ‘positively impact access to justice in family law’.
