TRANSFORMING JUSTICE WITH AI AND BLOCKCHAIN
Akbal.io is revolutionizing dispute resolution by combining AI, blockchain, and decentralized arbitration to make legal services fast, affordable, and accessible to everyone.
THE PROBLEM
5.1 billion people worldwide lack meaningful access to justice. Traditional legal systems are:
- Too slow (12-18 months average resolution)
- Too expensive ($50K+ average cost)
- Too complex (inaccessible to individuals and SMEs)
- Too limited (jurisdictional barriers)
In Latin America, legal costs consume the highest percentage of GDP globally, while access remains severely limited.
OUR SOLUTION
Akbal delivers dispute resolution that is:
- 10x Faster - Days instead of months through AI automation
- 80% Cheaper - Blockchain eliminates unnecessary intermediaries
- 100% Transparent - Immutable records on blockchain
- Globally Accessible - No jurisdictional barriers
HOW IT WORKS
- AI-powered document analysis and case assessment
- Smart contracts for automated escrow and enforcement
- Blockchain-based evidence management
- Vetted arbitrator network with AI matching
- Multi-language support (Spanish, Portuguese, English, French)
THE TEAM
- María Belén Castillo - CEO & Founder
- Michael Collemiche - Chief Operating Officer (COO)
- Armando Maitret - Chief Legal Officer (CLO)
- Divine Mbuh - Chief Technology Officer (CTO)
- Ranferi Murguia - Chief Financial Officer (CFO)
OUR MISSION
Democratize access to justice by building technology infrastructure that makes fair dispute resolution available to everyone, everywhere.
