This is mediation, not legal advice
Mediate-AI is not a solicitor and does not provide legal advice. The service uses artificial intelligence to facilitate structured negotiation between two parties to a civil dispute. Mediate-AI is a neutral facilitator — it does not analyse the law or evaluate the merits of either side's position. Parties are responsible for obtaining their own legal advice before agreeing any settlement.
How the AI works
Each side submits their case statement and supporting evidence. The AI:
- Polishes raw user input into formal Letters of Claim / Defence using cited UK case law
- Renders each party's position and the authorities they rely on (passed in during handoff from the referring service or supplied directly). Mediate-AI does not endorse, weigh, or evaluate those authorities.
- Settles automatically at the amount mutually acceptable to both parties having considered all of the relevant information — calculated when their privately-held reservation prices overlap. If reservations don't overlap, offers run until they cross. No legal merit analysis is folded into the settlement number — Mediate-AI does no legal analysis at all.
- Adjusts its proposals across rounds based on caucus notes parties privately share with the AI
What you should know about AI output
- It can be wrong. AI models occasionally produce inaccurate, incomplete, or out-of-date information, and may misinterpret a case
- It is decision-theoretic guidance, not a guarantee. A 78% win-probability assessment is not a guarantee that you will win 78 times in 100 trials. Trials are unpredictable
- It does not replace your own judgement. A real solicitor would ask follow-up questions, examine documents in detail, and apply professional judgment
- Citations should be checked. Always read the underlying case before relying on it
- Limitation periods matter. If your matter has a deadline you must act within it. The AI may flag this but you must verify independently
When to consult a real lawyer
You should consult a qualified solicitor or barrister if any of the following apply: the dispute is worth more than you can afford to lose; criminal proceedings are involved; the matter is urgent (injunctions, possession orders); the law is unsettled; or you need representation in Court.
Settlement Agreements
The Settlement Agreement we generate is a binding contract between you and the other party. It is drafted using standard English contract law principles. Where significant sums are at stake we recommend you have it reviewed by a solicitor before signing.
Our limit of responsibility
By using the service you accept that we are not responsible for any decision you take, or fail to take, in reliance on AI output. If a matter is significant to you, get a qualified opinion. See clauses 11 and 12 of our Terms of Service.
