Together, they founded MiAI Law to address inefficiencies in legal research, leveraging AI-driven precision to enhance accuracy, efficiency, and accessibility for legal professionals.

The discussion also explores AI’s role in the future of legal practice—how it enhances, rather than replaces, human judgment. With tools like voice-activated assistants and deep reasoning models, MiAI Law aims to empower legal professionals by streamlining research, document drafting, and workflow management.
