UK Compliance Advantage

Built for UK regulation.
Not retrofitted to it.

Every other AI legal tool was built for the US market and adapted for the UK. CourtCraft was designed from the ground up around UK GDPR, the Legal Services Act 2007, the Children Act 1989, and the DASH domestic abuse risk framework.

DASH Domestic Abuse Gate

Tier 3 Protection

Every query is screened by a deterministic DASH risk classifier before any AI response is generated. Domestic abuse disclosures trigger immediate safety resources and block cloud AI entirely — no data leaves the platform.

Deterministic · Pre-AI · Always On

Child Arrangements Review Gate

Tier 2 Safeguard

AI guidance on child arrangements matters is subject to a mandatory human review acknowledgement before delivery. The welfare of the child is the paramount consideration under s.1 Children Act 1989 — our architecture reflects that.

Human Review · Paramountcy Principle

UK GDPR Article 9 Compliance

Special Category Data

Explicit consent obtained at onboarding for Article 9 special category data processing. DPIA completed. Article 30 RoPA maintained. Breach notification, erasure, portability, restriction, and objection rights all implemented.

DPIA · RoPA · Article 9(2)(a)

ICO Sandbox Applicant

Regulatory Engagement

CourtCraft has applied to the ICO Innovation Sandbox to obtain regulatory guidance on AI-assisted legal guidance for vulnerable users. We engage with the regulator proactively — not reactively.

LSA 2007 Non-Reserved Boundary

Legal Services Act

CourtCraft operates strictly within the non-reserved legal activity boundary under the Legal Services Act 2007. We provide guidance, not legal advice. Every response is framed accordingly, with mandatory independent legal advice signposting.

Tiered Data Architecture

Three-Tier Classification

Every query is classified into Tier 1 (financial remedy), Tier 2 (child arrangements), or Tier 3 (domestic abuse). Each tier has distinct routing rules, AI handling, and safeguarding requirements — built into the infrastructure, not bolted on.

Tier 1 · Tier 2 · Tier 3
