In this 29th Xraised episode, award-winning barrister and LegalTech innovator Laina Chan, CEO and Co-Founder of MiAI Law, explains why Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) is the backbone of legal AI.

Unlike generic large language models, RAG grounds every answer in authoritative legal sources, ensuring traceability, accuracy, and up-to-date insights. Laina shares how RAG equips AI with a “law library to think with,” reducing hallucinations and providing lawyers with verifiable, jurisdiction-specific analysis.

From ensuring that legal advice reflects the latest case law to combining RAG with structured legal reasoning for systematic application, this conversation explores how AI can deliver efficiency, transparency, and fairness in legal practice. With over 20 years of advocacy experience and global recognition as one of the Most Influential CEOs in LegalTech, Laina reveals how MiAI Law is reshaping research, contracts, and compliance through AI-powered precision—setting new standards for ethical and responsible innovation in law.

Whether you’re a lawyer, technologist, or legal researcher, this interview provides a clear, practical look at how RAG is redefining the future of legal services worldwide.
