And so it begins... Client telling me that my (and counsel's) advice is wrong and that I need to consider various cited cases that support their view. Which cases don't exist. Client admits used an LLM AI, but comes back to me with further detailed argument, citing other cases which.. don't exist.

I know there is a lot going on in the world but @bordercrim.bsky.social facing a funding crisis to stay meaningfully afloat. Initially in search of £12,000— any ideas of where to look gratefully received. Feels like a bad time to have our platform shrink.
