MyLiP analyses the case documents you upload, shows you what UK law says on your issue (drawn from legislation.gov.uk and BAILII), and surfaces patterns from published judgments — including how specific judges have decided similar issues before. That’s it. We are not a law firm, we are not regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority, and we do not give legal advice. For advice specific to your situation, you need a solicitor or direct access barrister. For the case analysis, legal information and judge insights that sit behind that work, you have MyLiP.
You upload the documents in your case — Form E, bank statements, correspondence, court orders, witness statements. MyLiP’s AI reads them and answers your questions about them in plain English. It can build a chronology, audit disclosure against Form E, flag contradictions between documents, extract deadlines, and draft documents based on the evidence you have uploaded. Every answer is grounded in the material you have given it — never in AI training data. If something is not in your documents, the AI says so rather than inventing a plausible-sounding answer.
MyLiP maintains a UK Law Library sourced exclusively from legislation.gov.uk and BAILII. When you ask about s.25 MCA 1973, the Family Procedure Rules, White v White [2000] UKHL 54, Livesey v Jenkins [1985] AC 424 or any other authority in the library, MyLiP tells you what the legislation says and what the court decided. It cites the neutral citation and links to the source. It does not generate legal citations from AI training data, and it declines to answer questions that would require authorities not in the verified library.
The Judge Intelligence feature reads published judgments from BAILII to surface patterns in how specific judges have approached specific issues — their approach to costs under FPR r.28.3(7), their directions on expert evidence, their attitude to non-disclosure, their tone towards litigants in person. This is information about how the system has worked, drawn entirely from what those judges have written in public. It is not a prediction of what they will decide in your case, and it is not a recommendation about how to argue your case.
MyLiP is a good fit for a lot of the work in a self-represented case. It is not a good fit for everything. You should consult a qualified legal professional when:
Good to know: MyLiP is designed to work alongside professional legal help, not instead of it. Many subscribers use MyLiP for ongoing preparation and research, and instruct a direct access barrister or solicitor for specific pieces of work (an FDR, a Final Hearing, a particular application). That combination is usually cheaper and more effective than full traditional representation.
These are not things you have to remember — they are built in and cannot be turned off:
MyLiP operates as a non-regulated self-help product. The Legal Services Act 2007 reserves six legal activities to authorised persons: rights of audience, conducting litigation, reserved instrument activities, probate activities, notarial activities, and the administration of oaths. MyLiP does none of those. Providing legal information, and analytical tools built on top of it, is not a reserved activity and does not require SRA authorisation.
The consumer-protection statutes that apply to us are the ones that apply to any UK consumer SaaS: the Consumer Rights Act 2015, the Consumer Protection from Unfair Trading Regulations 2008, the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013, and UK GDPR together with the Data Protection Act 2018. We follow the UK judiciary’s October 2025 guidance on the treatment of AI inputs in court proceedings — which includes being clear that anything you type into a public AI tool may not attract legal professional privilege. See our Privacy Policy for the data side, and our Terms of Service for the subscription side.
The product was built by someone who self-represented in their own contested financial remedy proceedings. To survive the case, they built an AI-native knowledge system — an approach inspired by Andrej Karpathy’s work on personal AI — with every document loaded and cross-referenced, and a UK law library curated by hand from legislation.gov.uk and BAILII. The design choices in MyLiP today — the grounded-AI architecture, the verified law library, the mandatory output disclaimer, the judge insights, the 50-query Case Intelligence Library — all come directly from that experience. MyLiP is not a replacement for a lawyer; it is the research, organisation and analysis layer that usually sits behind one, productised so other LiPs don’t need the technical skills or the forty-plus hours of setup time to get the same benefit.
