The employment law service powered entirely by artificial intelligence (AI) and launched three months ago has negotiated a 30,000 settlement for a user.
Grapple Law took 15% of the unnamed healthcare worker’s compensation for its support.
Founder Alex Monaco described it as “the first time in the UK – and potentially worldwide – that an AI has negotiated a settlement on behalf of an individual”.
Grapple Law spun out of Monaco Solicitors in London, which describes itself as the largest employment law specialist firm in the UK representing individuals only.
Grapple Law is not a regulated law firm, unlike the first AI-only practice that launched earlier this year, Garfield.law, whose founder is speaking at our Law Firm Growth Summit in March.
The client was a healthcare worker who was put on a performance improvement plan despite what Grapple said was a “stellar” performance record. She explained her situation to Grapple Law and uploaded supporting evidence.
Grapple advised her on her legal position, outlined her available options and provided an assessment of the strength of her case.
It then assisted the client in preparing her formal grievance and drafted and sent a ‘without-prejudice’ letter to her employer on her behalf, using the Grapple Law letterhead. It assessed the settlement offers as they arose and “negotiated a higher, more favourable outcome for her”, the company said.
